Photo of the Day - On My Plate

Of course I thought I should take a picture of my Loaded Baked Potato Soup with toss salad and baking powder biscuits but then I ate most of it and it didn't look as good or at least presentation worthy. :) So here is what is on my craft plate, of course another project.

This is a Valentine wreath I started last year that started to look like poo so I stopped and it sat in my basement in a bag until last week. I am doing a redo and just finished wrapping the wreath with yarn. So far so good. 

Photo of the Day - Black and White

I've missed several days, but I am dealing with it. I had a sinus infection and I was trying to get things back to normal including myself this week. I am hoping this is it for my sinuses. :) Well here is my black and white pic, not technically black but it is Dark Chocolate hot cocoa.

We were outside for awhile and the boys were playing with some of the neighbor kids. At one point I told the Small One his hands looked cold. He looked at me and then at his hands and kept going. They eventually did get cold and we came in to warm up before making dinner. Good times.

Photo of the Day - a building

This should have been an easy one because there are so many buildings I love and have seen. I could share millions of pictures of ones I love. But as I was driving through the old part of my city I came across this great house. I am guessing early 1900's as to when it was built. I wonder if it is on the historic register and has a date. I'll have to check it out. The design is so intriguing to me, I would love to go in it and know the stories that house could tell. There are some great details in it as well, the stained glass windows, the chimney shape and balcony railing are my favorites. I couldn't do the house justice with just one photo so here are two.

The house sits on a corner which makes the shape and orientation so perfect. The front door is on the right.

Cool brick work for the chimney and interesting balcony railing.

Friday night we had a movie night here at home and the boys made some decorations for the event. As you can see there are some favorite characters around here. 

Photo of the Day - Dark

When I first saw today's description I wasn't sure what to do or if I wanted to take a picture of something dark. Anyway we went to the library this morning and someone must have lost a glove but it looked so cool with the icicles hanging off of each finger. The boys also thought it was pretty great, we love discovering neat things like this together. I put a dark filter on it, that counts right?

Photo of the Day - Delicate

This is the photo that was supposed to be for the 9th but don't worry, today's is not far behind. Guess what is in bloom? Seriously I bet you wish you had this beauty blooming on your counter in January. I love this flower!

Photo of the Day - Looking Up

Yesterday was the first day of school for me and it snowed all day. I did take this picture while on my way to work, I was obviously stopped at a light lest you think I was doing something horribly dangerous. It is one of the many old and pretty buildings downtown. Something draws me to trees with newly fallen snow. Hopefully today's picture will come before the day is done.
