Our formerly grape-purple guest bathroom/laundry room
has been transformed into a happy hue of yellow.

day.170 - nothing sweeter than family
After a father's day celebration at the Cea Ranch,
mother and son were tuckered out from playing all day :)
(Finally, they're learning to share the backseat!)
day.169 - morning fog
Up early for another weekend of painting.
I was immediately drawn to the foggy woods behind our house this cool morning.
The fog made the patch of woods feel more like a giant forest.
day.168 - dewey spider web
Lots of wet weather lately.
I just love how the morning dew highlights this spider web.
Interesting how something I dislike (spiders) produces something so beautiful.
day.167 - stop in your tracks
Heading up the front porch steps, I literally stopped in my tracks
when I noticed this leaf, laden with rain drops. I quickly unloaded
my things in the house and came back out to snap this shot.
day.166 - clouds on rt. 37
The sky was a kaleidoscope of colors on the drive home:
dark rain clouds, clear skies peaking through, deep blue skies ahead.
It was cool to see all this in such a short scope.
day.165 - ripe romaine
Today, the fruits (ahem, vegetables) of our labor paid off!
We had fresh-picked romaine lettuce on our burgers for dinner.

day.163 - new-to-me closet
My closet makeover is almost complete.
Painting is done, today we put the shelves back up, my clothes are hung,
now just a few finishing touches and I will be happy :)
day.162 - sweet baby Ava
We stayed with our friends Ryan and Staci, who are new parents
to this sweet baby girl, Ava Rose :)
day.161 - baby i'm howlin' for you
I couldn't resist getting up close to the stage after the concert.
I didn't want to take my good camera, so I had my cell phone (sigh).
Even though it's grainy, and even though I touched it up a little in Photoshop,
I really like the composition of this photo.
day.160 - pink & white
Dinner at the Cea Ranch, I snapped this shot of these pink & white flowering bushes
at the front of Diana's garden. I love the way the sun is hitting the tiny buds.
day.159 - night blooming primrose
Taking a stroll through mom-in-law's garden, we watched as the
night blooming primrose plants opened. What a sight!!
day.158 - a gaggle of geese
I took a different route home due to construction on my usual route
and saw these geese grazing in a field.
day.157 - sand garden
I arrived at work to find my desk "birthday puked" all over!
I had gummi worms in a martini glass, balloons, streamers, and this cool zen sand garden.
My coworkers are awesome :)
day.156 - chillin' like a villain
Madison is a really good helper....she's great at distracting me from housework :)
How can you not rub her little belly?!
day.155 - spicy seafood
It's my birthday weekend! We had dinner at Brio with my mom, uncle, aunt, and grandma.
I had spicy shrimp with orzo, asparagus and cherry tomatoes. As my aunt says, delish!
day.154 - coon hunting
After three nights of failed attempts, we finally captured this raccoon
that had been getting into all kinds of stuff in the backyard, and in our trash!
day.152 - tropical sunrise
The Farmers Market has opened for the season in downtown Delaware.
Among other items for sale were these pretty flowers.
day.151 - "Artichokey"
Spotted this plant outside of a store. Not sure what it is,
but it reminded me of an artichoke.
day.148 - heirloom scaffolding
This set of painting scaffolding was built by my great-grandpa.
Still sturdy after many painting jobs!
day.147 - white castle warning
I was getting gas today and saw this sauce tub on top of the pump.
I found it funny that the tub was placed right above the "Warning" symbol... ;)
day.146 - lovely lilac
Now that the weather isn't so rainy, I'm really enjoying the wonderful
plant-life around the property, like our lilac bushes.

day. 145 - hardwork pays off
Work was a bit crazy this week, requiring some long hours and full attention.
One of the ad reps brought in home-grown roses to thank us for our hard work!
day.144 - sign of storms past
A nasty storm rolled in last night. In town, there didn't seem to be too much damage.
But I noticed this sign that got tossed around by the wind and then got stuck.
day.143 - paper fan
Painting doesn't involve just picking a color and rolling it on the wall.
A good prep job, i.e. covering the ceiling fans, is key to great finished product.
day.142 - painter's toolbox
We started our first home improvement project: painting the house.
My uncle has painted many-a-rooms and offered to bring his supplies
and help us with this huge undertaking.
day.141 - just hanging around
This itsy, bitsy spider was hanging in its web, stretched across the kitchen window.
I liked this shot (even though spidey is not in focus) for the delicate fibers of the
spider web that you can see against the green trees in the background.
day.140 - sun setting over roof
I remember shading my eyes for a second, and taking a step to the side.
When I looked back up, the sun was at just the right angle,
shining through the branches, setting over the rooftop.
day.139 - Bear-bottom martini
One of my coworkers got this martini – it comes with a surprise at the bottom!
day.136 - new beginnings
We have asian pear trees in our backyard.
This bud looks promising (fingers crossed!)
