Kim 365

Daisies, take 2. I'm feeling the need to get some frame-worthy shots of these beauties to hang in my house, so bear with me - there may be more to come in the days ahead.

Rain, another rainy day
Comes up from the ocean
Give herself away
She comes down easy
On rich and debt the same
And she gives herself away
-Daisy, Switchfoot

I had this song in my head as I was snapping away happily with the daisies that my wonderful husband brought home for me today. Gerbera daisies - he remembered! I'll take 3 daisies over a dozen roses any day :) It was so nice to have something new and exciting in the house to turn my attention to when the daily photo loomed over my head late in the day.

Today was one of those days where I could give up and not take a photo, or shoot one of myself in my ridiculous Snuggie as I try to figure out a vitamin order. The former isn't an option since I'm only 35 days away from my 365th photo (yay!), so the latter it is.

Winter blew in today. If you were to scroll through my facebook newsfeed you'd see one complaint, after another, after another....you get the point. I really don't understand. Do people forget that winter comes every year? Do they forget that winter gets cold, and brings snow? Seriously. It happens EVERY year. Of course no one knows exactly when the first snowfall will come, so every year it is met with people whining and griping. Whatever. I guess while I'm not complaining about the snow, I am complaining about people, and am no more righteous than the next person. I'm keenly aware of that.

The snow does make me thankful. When autumn drags on with brown and dreary days, I'm thankful for the first snow as it reminds me that Jesus is still in charge, still ushering in the changing of seasons. He more faithful than the rising and setting of the sun. More faithful than the changing of seasons.

Wyatt is still carrying on with his Baby Moosey charade :) He is such a sweet doggie, and I love his snuggles with Mommy Moosey.

You win some, you lose some. For the record, I feel like this photo is a loss. I took way too many, and could not get the exposure right. I'm not happy with how it turned out, but I am happy about eating some of this delicious red fruit tomorrow!

Honeycrisp apples are the best, and pomegranates are growing on me. They're good for me, so I eat them. I just can't get past the seeds. Am I the only one that thinks the seeds are annoying? Do you swallow them? Spit them out? This is an aspect of pomegranate eating that no one treads near. Help me out here, folks!

Here's my big boy, playing Wii with his big cousin. He's growing up so fast, but he doesn't look too big when he's next to a boy more than twice his age :)

Now I need a photo of little brother in the next few days to balance things out :) Stay tuned.

She loves to climb, so she can sit.
"Chair!" she declares, with obvious satisfaction in her voice.

He's waiting so patiently for a turn with the camera. When I've got the 50mm lens on, the thing doesn't weigh a ton like it does with the others. Being the observant boy that he is, he knew it was light enough for him to hold today - after requesting I remove the flash. He's starting to take some great photos himself!

Two days in the kitchen, and two burns to show for it. Yesterday my arm with a hot baking sheet, today my hand on a pan handle that had just come out of the oven. That hand is now wrapped up in ice, as I try to type this one-handed. Hoping my streak doesn't carry on tomorrow!
