Day 189, Countryside Antiques

 Countryside Antiques in an adorable antique store in Avon, Ohio on Detroit Road.

 Three whole floors to explore. Sadly we had only about a half hour to explore but I'll definitely be checking this place out again.

Day 188, Soaking up the Shade

You can't stay this pasty white without serious effort. :P

Day 187, Charge!

 Our cows are starting to get big enough to be a little scary when they come running.

If my husband was a cartoon he would be wearing overalls and have a frog in his pocket. He is always coming to the house with random animals that he has rescued from various dangers.

Day 186, EGGS

Day 185, Hosta Flowers

 I've never been a big fan of hostas. However their extraordinary hardiness is winning me over. And the flowers are pretty. 

Day 184, Getting Well Sooner

Jeremy came home from the hospital today! Now he's able to catch up on a couple days worth of sleep because it is nearly impossible to sleep in the hospital.

Day 183, A Hospital Courtyard

Jeremy's lung is healing nicely. I took this photo of the courtyard outside his window to show him because he couldn't get out of bed.

Day 182, Pneumothorax

Today was scary. Jeremy went to the hospital because he was having trouble breathing. After about four hours of waiting it was determined Jeremy had a spontaneous pneumothorax or collapsed lung. He made the whole thing look way to easy. This is a picture of Jeremy's vitals and the room where they inserted his chest tube. *shiver*

Day 181, Cool Drink on a Hot Day

Sadie is a messy drinker

Day 180, Camera Day

June 29th is Camera Day! I've never heard of Camera Day before...

Day 179, Sunset Around the Yard

 

I love sunset and silhouettes. 

Day 178, Garage Trusses

Trusses in Jeremy's garage.

Day 177, Strawberries

I made a dessert today using these very strawberries. It was not pretty. :( Tasty enough, but not pretty. I do not like this photo much either. It was a bit rushed much like the dessert.

Day 176, Welding

I helped Jeremy fix the car today. I can totally say I helped because I got him a flashlight, plugged something into an outlet, and handed him a machine part. Oh...and I rode to the store with him to pick up the part he needed. Whew, I need a break. :)

Day 175, Grilled Eggplant and Pasta Salad

Yummy in my tummy!

Day 174, Pretty Pink Clouds

Day 173, Key

I love keys.

Day 172, Lightening Bolts

There was an amazing lightening show tonight! This is my first time photographing lighting bolts and I cannot wait for the next lightening storm.

Before the lightening I took a picture of a delicious pineapple with an off-camera flash.

Day 171, Barn Swallow

Barn swallow on a hot tin roof. And then another one (or perhaps the same one) who found himself trapped inside Jeremy's workshop until he was bravely rescued by Jeremy.

No barn swallows were harmed in the taking of this photo.

Day 170, Not Grilling Tonight

I put off making dinner just a little too long and I have no desire to grill in the rain. 

Plan B - Bowl of cereal.

Day 169, Cattails

After breaking my elbow and now dealing with a truly annoying bout of the flu I've been neglecting my photo-a-day duties (this photo was actually taken on June 4th). I've decided to not be all that concerned about this setback. While I will continue to try to create a new photograph everyday on the days that I cannot I will post a recent photo instead.

Day 168, Helicopter

 

Helicopter cruising over my house.

Is it just me or have the clouds seemed truly phenomenal lately?

Day 167, Little League

♫ Take me out to the ball game,
Take me out with the crowd;♫
♫Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack,
I don't care if I never get back.♫
♫Let me root, root, root for the home team,
If they don't win, it's a shame.♫
♫For it's one, two, three strikes, you're out,
At the old ball game.♫

*bows

Day 166, Rusty Nail

Day 165, Bullfrog

Here is another blast from the past photo. I took this photo on June 4th when I went to the Carlisle Reservation Duck Pond.

Day 164, Tall and Short Daisies

Wild daisies are my favorite flower. I love their simplicity and wildness.

Day 163, Watermelon

 In my mind this photo smells amazing!

Day 162, The Moon

 On June 11th I didn't technically take a photo. I took these photos at 2:30AM on June 12th and as far as I'm concerned it counts for a June 11th photo. What was that? You disagree? Let us consult the judges. Judges? They agree with me.

In honesty I really wasn't going to take a photo at all for June 11th. However around 2am the dogs started freaking out, barking at something invisible outside. When I got up to investigate the moon was a spooky kind of amazing and I had to take a picture.

Day 161, No Yolks Noodles

Just playing with dinner and an off camera flash.

Day 160, Garage Sale

Today I helped my father-in-law and sister-in-law at a garage sale.

Day 159, Speeding By

Another day for taking photos while Jeremy drives.

Day 158, Watching the Hail

Today's morning rain and hail really ruined Jeremy's plans for the day and rest of the week for that matter.

Elbow update: I did indeed break my poor little elbow. :( Which made taking this photo a tad painful because it needed to be manually focused.

Day 157, Tools of the Trade

It pains me a great deal to admit this but I didn't take this photo today.*sigh* Sadly, I tripped over my big clown feet and landed on my elbow, which I didn't realize was made out of fine china. I did try to take a picture but I really wasn't feeling it. And since this is my project I'm going to take a day off. I actually took this photo on May 27th. It's part of a series that I want to hang in my office.

Day 156, Coupons and Comics

Clip coupons - Check

Chuckle at comics - Check 

Create characterization of clipped coupons and comics - Check 

Day 155, Duck

I really wanted to take a photo of a delicious ice cream sundae today but when the girl handed me the ugliest ice cream sundae I have ever seen I changed my mind. So my ever lovable husband drove me to the Carlisle Reservation Duck Pond. There was exactly one duck but he put on a nice show. :)

Day 154, Office Plant

The plant in my office at sunset. I'm genuinely shocked this lil' guy (his name is Jasper) is still alive. I don't have the greatest success with keeping plants, goldfish or saving accounts alive.

Day 153, Express Nail Polish

Still not really "express" enough for me. I need 10 second nail color....and a steadier left hand.

Day 152, New Sidewalk Construction

Today I had the pleasure of helping my husband prep for a new concrete sidewalk. Unfortunately I really didn't have any time to take a photo. Thankfully, I had the foresight that may be the case and I quickly snapped this with my cell phone seconds before it died.

And for some reason I completely lost my watermark stamp. How I managed to lose the silly thing is completely beyond me. :( Hopefully, it will turn up. I made this mark quickly, not that it was really necessary or anything. After using the watermarks for so long the photo just didn't feel complete without one.
