Tulips have bloomed in our front yard in a variety of colors.
Despite the dreary weather, they brighten up even the rainiest day.
Makes me happy :)

day.114 - hoppy easter
This Easter was one of many firsts:
Hayden's first Easter, Michael's first Easter egg hunt,
and Mom's first holiday with my in-laws.
day.113 - how long have i been here?
We had a surprise 60th birthday party for my father-in-law,
at Roops bar. He loved the Crown Royal cake we had made.
day.112 - simply organic
For the last Friday of Lent, I made Coconut Shrimp for dinner.
The recipe needed cayenne pepper, and this SimplyOrganic was on sale.
I liked the design of the jar first (of course!), the sale simply justified my purchase :)
day.111 - bird watching
A pair of cardinals were hanging out in our trees.
I let Fiona get up in the planters window to talk to them :)

day.110 - green hydration
In an effort to drink water on a daily basis, I splurged on these pretty plastic water bottles
at the Container Store (and I had a coupon!). They don't add a metallic taste to the water;
they came in a set of five, one for each day of the work week; and they come in a tray,
very convenient for storing in the fridge without them falling all over the place.
day.108 - back to routine
Back in Ohio, back to reality, back to work.
I've always liked the Fling Hardware sign in Sunbury,
a familiar sight on my route to work.

day.107 - blooming country
This tree is right outside the kitchen window and has started
blooming pretty, white flowers on its branches.
day.106 - blue-violet beauties
I'm not sure what these flowers are called, but I sure am glad
they are growing in the flower bed at the front of our house.
day.105 - frown at the airport
I snagged a picture of this melancholy face on the airport tarmac.
It was fitting, since we were preparing to travel back to Ohio.
Airport security scolded me and told me to keep moving! hehe
day.102 - baja bandit
We rented Baja Buggies and drove through the Mexican landscapes –
doing doughnuts, scaling sand dunes and jumping dirt hills!
day.101 - through the wrought iron fence
Some plants just outside the balcony of our room at Zoetry Casa del Mar.
day.100 - (angry) birds on a plane
On our way to Phoenix, AZ, ultimately ending up in Mexico.
I like the way the lighting turned out in this picture.
day.99 - sarah's 30th birthday
Today was my sister-in-law's 30th birthday. We had a surprise party for
her at El Vaqueros in Powell. Great venue, great people, great time :)
day.97 - egg sandwich
Since breakfast is the most important meal of the day,
I made myself an egg sandwich – almost too pretty to eat!
day.96 - heart necklace
Today would've been my brother's 30th birthday.
We met my Mom and Tim, my brother's best friend,
for dinner and drinks to celebrate Ben's life.
day.95 - Steve the squirrel
Caught this squirrel hunting for food in the dumpster at work.
He hopped out and stayed long enough for me to get this shot!
day.94 - plant life
I bought this little guy because of its coloring. It's been living in the
planters window in my kitchen for the past few months and is still thriving!
day.93 - Acrosonic piano
I played a few songs on my childhood piano while at home.
It's what my mom learned on, then my brother, and then me. I hope to
refurbish the guts (insides) and eventually have it for my kids to learn on.
day.91 - sleeping beauty
Spent the weekend in Springfield with my Mom.
We took in Angie's gallery at the Green Owl and ate dinner at Cafe Paradisio.
This is/was my dog, Chopin. He's Mom's dog now.. :)
day.90 - psychadelic swirls
I think this is from our TV. There are so many new
and interesting settings on the camera.
day.89 - green, yellow...green, and yellow
Experimenting with my new camera.
These are traffic lights, from a distance, at night(duh..).
day.86 - coasters of love
These are a couple of coasters my Aunt designed and
gave me as a wedding shower gift.
Got my new camera today! Nikon Coolpix L120 –– kinda love it :)
day.85 - this shh... is bananas!
We made a giant banana split for my mother-in-law's birthday,
and demolished the entire thing! Yummmm...
day.82 - lone ranger
I was enjoying my rocking chair on the front porch
and noticed this single leaf at my feet.
day.81 - rusty hinge
This project has really opened my eyes; can't help but see things in a new perspective –
like this rusty hinge...really nice textures and colors.
