Saturday May 26, 2007 (Day 32) Contrary llamma


Hubby wants to have llamma's I'm partial to alpaca's but really, I just hope some day a petting zoo fits into our lifestyle. These fiber artists who own llaamas were at the farmer's market today with 3 of thier llammas -they drew a crowd of interested bystanders - mostly kids -and us. We can be kids at heart sometimes I suppose......

I was reading an article in concieve and it was talking about nurturing your relationship during infertility treatment - it said some couples go a whole day without touching once. I can not imagine this in our house. My husband and I hold hands when we walk - we sit close when we can. That sounds like a sad day to go 24 hours without touching the person you love. I guess the point was intimacy outside of TTC - but to me that is a given - how would you make it through such a difficult struggle without the comfort and nurturing of your partner/spouse? I am grateful that is at lesat one thing I do not have to work at in my life - nurturing intimacy with my partner. Of course I would work at it if necessary - I'm just grateful I don't have to.

Friday May 25 (day 31) Plaza Tower behind water

one of the photo groups had an assignment of posting a photo of a belltower or clocktower - so here is mine - the plaza belltower behind the fountain spray.


I had a long day friday - lately my hospital days have been longer and longer - I used to get off at 1 on fridays (I work a long day monday so i can do this)- but this week it wasn't until after 5:30. It was nice to relax and take a short walk with my sweet after. I think the playfullness of the water spray here is a good image for a friday night.

Thursday, May 24 (Day 30)whatever sky shot

this is one of those shots taken because I've commited to take a photo every day for a year -and some days there is nothing photo worthy across my path. Some people would make a photo where there was none - but while I find the manufactured sceenes that others shoot intriguing it is just not my style. so...i guess we can expect more weather photos in the coming year at least until I can get a good image stabilization zoom macro lense to look at things from anther perspective

Tuesday, May 22 (day 28) snake head

day 28 may 22
After work I was hoping to see the baby bluejay next door. The parents were squacking and raising a storm - so hubby climbed the fence to invesitage. He discovered this snake trying to eat the baby sparrows - so he moved it under our shed (to keep the mice away). He loves snakes and this was the first black snake of the year.
Maybe tomorrow I'll catch a glimpse of the baby jay - I'd better hurry as we noticed all of the baby birds seem to be hopping out of thier nests this week - taking first flight of the year.

Day 27 may 21 daily photo diary
just one poppy bloomed in my garden -I snapped a quick photo in the AM in case I couldn't find another shot AND in case the poppy wasn't there another day - and what do you know the next day the petals started to fall ...

We've recently discovered this wonderful little park nearby - it was there all along but I thought it was smaller and didn't realize it had so much to offer in the way of ponds and wildlife - I just thought it was the offic space for Parks and Rec with a small creek. well, I was so wrong -its a really nice place to take a walk and a few photos - talk to people or not, have lunch, feed the geese....
on this particular occasion I got off work on Sunday evening and needed a short walk with my sweetheart to unwind.

day 26 may 20 daily photo diary


For an ordinary day this image at least holds some interst - although nothing print worthy i suppose

Daily Examen - things to consider each day

1. Express Gratitude 2. Petition for light (see self & ohters in God's eyes, ask to see the role only I can play) 3. Review the day: look at day's actions, omissions, thoughts & desires what does this tell me aobut myself in relation to self, others, God, the world 4. Lift out something & ask for help 5. look ahead - how do I want to carry on (today - the rest of my life what / who do I want to be master of my life? what are my core values? )
