Day 109, An Early Seedy Dandelion

Spring sprung so soon that this little guy is already going to seed, before most of the other dandelions have begun to bloom.

Note: This is the last photo I took in the year 2010 (well, not the last photo. Just the last for this project.) You will notice that the weather has changed drastically from 2010 to 2011. 2010 had a very early spring while it doesn't seem that 2011 is going to have a spring at all.

Day 108, Lazy Sweets

Enjoying the sunset? Or watching the dogs fight over a stick? Both. She is wonderful at multitasking. :-)

Day 107, Fence

They say good fences make good neighbors. Oh boy, our neighbors are going to hate us...

Day 106, Stormy Spring Day

April showers bring May flowers. 

Day 105, Trivial Pursuit Genus Edition

I have no idea why I even own this game. All it does is make me feel dumb dumber.

If you are wondering the answers are:
Italian, The Dave Clark Five, China, After the Fall, The penguin, and Maryland, My Maryland

Day 104, Cremy's Eye

Such long eyelashes.

Day 103, Fire Wood

Day 102, Bumble Bee

Bumble bee busy pollinating my weeds. Hopefully he'll come back to pollinate my garden in a couple weeks.

Day 101, Crab Apple Flowers

Due to computer issues I'm a bit behind on my posting. Also this and the next few days worth of photos have no processing other then converting from RAW to JPEG.

Day 100, Knob

If I had remembered that today was going to be day 100 I would have tried for something a little more epic.

Day 99, Maple Keys

The "helicopters" are looking green and ready for take off.

Day 98, Baby Chicks

Our lil' farming enterprise now includes 2 cows, 3 pigs, and, our latest addition, 12 baby chicks. Now I just have to come up with 12 names...

Day 97, Salt and Pepper

Day 96, Reed Diffuser

Crisp Pear reed diffuser smells so purty!

Day 95, Sunrise Through the Trees

“With each sunrise, we start anew”

Day 94, All the Pigs

I was trying to limit the number of farm animal photos I use for this project but this was my favorite for the day.

Day 93, Pressure Washing the Barn

This has been a project we would mention about once a week during the warmer months. It finally got done today. Stay tuned for our color selection but don't hold your breathe. If it takes as long to paint as it did to get it ready to paint it could be awhile.

Day 92, Clothes Line

I wonder if I can get a tax credit for line drying my clothes, like all the people that bought energy efficient appliances.

Day 91, This lil' Piggie stayed home...

Our farm is growing. Today we added piggies.

Day 90, Pretty Chubbs

This cat has such a gorgeous face.

This is the last day of March! Is this year flying by for everyone?

Day 89, Weeds

“A man of words and not of deeds is like a garden full of weeds”

I choose this photo just because I liked the quote. 

Day 88, Sweetie on the Fence

 

“A cat has absolute emotional honesty: human beings, for one reason or another, may hide their feelings, but a cat does not.”

~Ernest Hemingway

Day 87, Stall Latch

This was a busy, busy day! Here is a quick pic of one of the stall latches in the barn.

Day 86, Orchid Mania

This is from Orchid Mania at the Cleveland Botanical Gardens. I know just about nothing about flowers except they are pretty. Are those even orchids in this photo?

Day 85, Old Water Pump

I hope we can get this lil' guy working again. It would make life a little easier.

Day 84, Straw on the Window

They finally replanted the grass in the front yard. However the straw they blew over the grass seed has covered the whole front of the house. And now that it has started to snow again there are little pieces of straw frozen to the front windows. (The frozen straw is not pictured, this photo is from earlier in the day, before winter came back.)

Day 83, Baby Ginger

Last month we went to a livestock auction. Today we went back and bought three baby calves. This is the smallest and cutest, Ginger.

Day 82, Pistachios

This might be my least favorite photo so far this year. Yes, definitely my least favorite. I cannot pinpoint exactly what I dislike. I think it might be the shell-less nut on the right side or simply the fact that I didn't spend a lot of time or effort on this photo.

Day 81, Little Statue

I adore this little statue. And adding a more exciting background in Photoshop is always fun.

Day 80, Tommy Boy

Went to one of my three favorite sister-in-law's ☺ house tonight for dinner and a movie. We watched the movie Ladder 49, which has got to be one of the saddest movies ever. When I got back home I needed to get the depressing movie out of my head and I needed a picture for the day. Tommy Boy works like a charm.

Day 79, Dying Camera

A couple weeks ago I thought I misplaced my little camera. I wasn't too terribly concerned. I often misplace the little guy. Then a friend came over with my poor soggy camera which had been found outside in a puddle. I'm guessing what happened is he fell out of my bag back when there was tons of snow and I didn't hear him fall. So the poor little fella sat out in the cold for who knows how long feeling unloved and miserable. After we were reunited I dried him off and gave him a good cleaning and he started to perk up. I was starting to think he might actually make it. I even took my last two photos with him to try and make up for my carelessness.  But he's not looking so good anymore.

Day 78, Pink the Rink

Tonight was Pink the Rink night for Breast Cancer Awareness at the Lake Erie Monsters game.

Day 77, Chain Links

Dirty chain from Jeremy's garage.

Day 76, Tree

A tree in my backyard that I've never noticed until today.

Day 75, KIA

OK! Fine, I'll admit it!  I did not take this photo on March 16th. (gasp!) I wasn't feeling well and completely forgot to take a photo. But instead of feeling like a complete failure and giving up I'm going to move forward like this never happened. So today, March 17th, I took a photo of my car because I was planning on cleaning the car yesterday too.

Day 74, Clothes Hangers

I was asked (repeatedly) to take a photo of clothes hangers. This is my favorite from the set.

Day 73, Fishing Pole

Not an exciting photo.

Day 72, Little Knick Knack

I've had this little thing as long as I can remember and today I just realized that that is kinda weird. It's not really my style and I'm awful with losing and breaking things.

Day 71, Muddy

The wonderful weather has finally melted all the snow, leaving us with an obscene amount of mud and water also know as a doggie playground.

Day 70, Warm Winter Day

Today, March 11th, was 70°!!! It was really nice to just sit outside on the deck and soak up some sun.

Day 69, Curiously Strong Mints

Would you like a mint? When someone offers a mint always take it, unless you don't really want to talk to them, in that case rock on garlic breath.

Day 68, Writing Hand

“I write down everything I want to remember. That way, instead of spending a lot of time trying to remember what it is I wrote down, I spend the time looking for the paper I wrote it down on.”

 

~ (I can't remember who said this, but it wasn't me)

Day 67, Spooky Cat

 Inside the dilapidated barn our cute cat, isn't so cute.

Day 66, Eyeglasses

I might have a slight addiction to purchasing cheap (and cute) eyeglasses.  This is about a third of my current collection and I'm hoping to get a couple more soon.

Day 65, Orange Blossom

Pretty and yummy Orange Blossom.

On a technical side I took this picture in about five minutes because I was entertaining guests(a very grown up way of saying "I had friends over") and the guest who this drink was made for was getting thirsty.  I didn't realize at the time but my giant head was reflected at the very bottom of the glass, so I used a bit of Photoshop to fix that.

Day 64, Chardonnay

“I told my wife that a husband is like a fine wine; he gets better with age. The next day, she locked me in the cellar.”

~Anonymous

Day 63, My mp3 Player

It's just one of those days.

Day 62, Dictionary

I needed a little help finding a photograph for today. So I looked in the dictionary and wouldn't you know there was a 'pho'•to•graph' in there.

I know. I'm a dork. 

Day 61, Orange

Vitamin C  boosts the immune system, is powerful antioxidant, and helps produce collagen to keep your skin pretty. And it's tasty too!

Day 60, Barn

I took this photo while Jeremy was driving and I cannot recall exactly where we were. Of all the pics I took today I liked this one the most because it is a little moody, like I am today.
