Goldwing - Day Fifty-eight - February 27, 2012

Today was a bad day to get out and take pictures, but got tons yesterday while I was out and about on our "farm".  Jim and I are getting ready to go on a motorcycle trip next month with some awesome friends and he was cleaning it so I took some photos of it.  As you can tell, we have a Honda Goldwing and it's wonderful.  I can't wait to post some pictures of our trip, but that will have to wait a little bit longer :)

Yummy Cheese - Day Fifty-seven - February 26, 2012

On Sunday's, I usually make a big meal so we can have leftovers for a few days.  While we were grocery shopping on Friday, Jim said he wanted steak with mac & cheese.  I am a very good mac & cheese cook (yeah, I'm bragging here) and was happy to hear this is what he wanted.  Since Jared and Elizabeth no longer live here, we have been shrinking down our proportions a big, so instead of the 2 big blocks of cheese, have been only putting in 1 1/2 blocks.  As I was looking at the remaining cheese, thought I would take a picture of the marble in the cheese - Patrick put in the knife at the last minute and it appears to be a great addition.

Red leaf - Day Fifty-six - February 25, 2012

Today is a very windy day here in my neck of the woods, but ventured out to see what I could locate to take a picture of and came across this very interesting set of leaves.  Not only did the color catch my eye, but thought the fact that one lone leaf is standing up and the others are below the limb.  I just thought that was the best.

The bark of a tree - Day Fifty-five - February 24, 2012

I'm sure you guys may have discovered by now that I am a person who loves taking pictures of trees, so I wanted to get a different aspect of one today.  I got real close and took this but didn't realize until I got back and downloaded how much the green from the pines behind it came out.

4-leaf clover (well, sort of) - Day fifty-four - February 23, 2012

I found these poking through the leaves today and thought they were so neat looking, had to get a photo.  To me they look like a 4-leaf clover with interesting edges :)

Help Jared - Day Fifty-three - February 22, 2012

Jared started working at the Lexington YMCA when he was in high school and hasn't left :)  He started out as a counselor and is now the director of after school and summer-camp.  Yeah, my 26 year old son is a big kid, but I have received so many comments about how great he is, so he is obviously where God wanted him to be.  Today he was placed on the Dining Hall roof in order to raise $2,000.00 towards the Partners For Youth Program, so I asked him if I could use this photo as my photo of the day and he said "That's awesome.  Do it!"  So my photo of the day is Help Jared off the Roof :)  Also, if you would like to donate, that would be an added bonus - here is the site if you are interested in helping out a great cause.

My sweet young man - Day Fifty-two - February 21, 2012

As Patrick was practicing his trumpet, thought I would try and get a picture of his fingers playing it.  Well, I did get a few of those, but Patrick goes "I'm ready for my close-up Mr. Deville" so I took advantage of his willingness to let me take fun pictures of him.  I did have some with his glasses on, but they glared and didn't want him to move from his spot to get them (he would forget to get back to practicing) so I got this one along with a few more.  It just takes my breath away every time I look at photos of all three of our children because they grow up so fast.  I'm going to stop here so I won't go all teary-eyed on you guys.

Have a great evening.
