Day 31
These are the pigeons that sit above our cars at work and send us their little bombs.

After the Rain
Day 27
We had a beautiful day today. No rain, the sun was shining and it got to the low 60's. Here's my pic of the day that I took this afternoon after work.

My Beautiful Balloon
Day 26
This landed at the park around the corner from our house. I don't even need to go to a balloon festival.

New Project
Day 24
This is the fabric I'm using for my next quilt project, that I promise I will finish. It makes a 79" x 79" quilt top. That's all I'm going to say about it until I post a picture of the finished quilt top.

We still need the rain!
Day 23
It's still raining here and I think I need to build an ark. I haven't been out of the house today to take pictures so I thought I would post one that was taken on a good day. This is a reminder of why we need the rain and to quit complaining. This is the Glory Hole at Lake Berryessa. When the lake is full, the water is covering the round cement tube that goes down into Putah Creek. Excess water flows over the top like a bathtub drain and flows into the creek. It hasn't done that in a couple of years.

Sunrise?
Day 22
This is a break in the clouds and sunrise at 6:30 this morning. It wasn't raining then and looked so pretty.

Rain, Rain, Go Away
Day 21
You will notice that I missed a day or two. It's hard to take outdoor pictures when you are being drowned. We are entering our 5th consecutive day of rain. All I can say is I know we need it, but not all at once.

This Was Our Afternoon
Day 19
First the storm cloud
Then the rain and hail

Then the rain and hail
It was pea-sized hail and the closest thing to snow we will see in my neighborhood.
My darling husband took all of these pictures because I was still out driving my bus in this mess.
Roman Country Beef Dinner
Day 19
This is my mis en place.

This is the finished stew and it was delicious!

Grandma's Cedar Chest
Day 16 and 17
I'm posting these together to get caught up. This is my grandmothers' cedar chest that my grandfather made with his own two hands. He made it as a wedding gift in 1940 for Grandma. He was a finish carpenter and took great pride in his work. He would be appalled at some of the construction being done in homes today. Check out the inlaid work on the top of the chest.

Black and White Childhood
Day 14
This was supposed to be my pineapple upside down cake but since I had a flipping accident, I decided to post this old picture of me, my sister and brother. I'm probably 5 in this picture, which would make my sister 3 and my brother almost 1. Aren't we cute?

Sunshine!
Day 13
We have been living with fog for the last week and then we had rain yesterday. I was so excited when I got to one of my schools and looked up and saw the sun peaking over the roof.

The Perfect Dog
Day 11
Ha Ha, you thought it was going to be another boxer picture didn't you? This is what you get to eat at my house when mommy is to tired to cook.

Tea Cup
I'm not being very creative. I didn't feel good most of the day and just took a picture inside the house to take a picture. I'll try harder to be creative in the next week.

Quilting
Day 9
This is a picture of a quilt that was made with the blocks from our block of the month in Vacaville. When I get the money, I will probably buy the rest of the fabric to make this quilt. I have to finish the blocks first though.

My Love

Foggy!
Day 5
This is what I was driving in this morning. Believe it or not, this picture was taken when it was starting to clear up. I felt like I had frosted eyeballs by the time I got done with my shift.

Lucky Dog
Day 4
This is Lucky. He is one of two boxers that we adopted two years ago from NorCal Boxer Rescue. He loves kids as long as they don't set foot in my house. :( He sucks up as much love as he can get and is a pretty good dog.

Oranges
These are Mandarin Oranges on my tree out back. They are lovely to look at, but they are the worst oranges I've ever tasted. We had a hard freeze a couple of weeks ago and I don't know if that's what did it, but they are very bitter.

A Photo a Day
Can I do it? I'm hoping the discipline of taking a photo a day will spill over into giving me discipline in other areas of my life. This is not about becoming a world class photographer but about learning how to take better pictures and enjoying a hobby that I've always wanted to pursue.
Here is Day One:
