Day 215 – Water gently falling is a lovely sound.
Falling Water
White Tulips
Day 213- White tulips are supposed to mean “forgiveness”. I wonder where all these flower “meanings” came from originally? I just think they’re lovely, especially in my favorite McCoy vase.
Bearing Fruit
Day 207 – The pear tree is bearing fruit. I just hope we get to the pears before the bees do. Last year we lost the entire crop to some very hungry wasps.
Peter Rabbit
Day 206 – When our son was very young we read to him every night. Some of his favorite stories came from a collection of Beatrix Potter stories – Peter Rabbit, Jemima Puddle-Duck, Benjamin Bunny, Ginger and Pickles.
At the Zoo
Day 200 – We just watched “We Bought A Zoo” so I thought I would post a photo that I recently took during our trip to Lincoln Park Zoo.
What Do You Do With This?
Day 197 – What do you do when you get a weird, gross, but strangely cool picture? I don’t know if I like this shot, but I do find it interesting.
Sailing
Day 195 – “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. – Mark Twain
John G. Shedd Aquarium
Day 194 – We made our annual trip to the Shedd Aquarium today. It was a beautiful day in Chicago.
Working the Fields
Day 193 – “The essential joy of being with horses is that it brings us in contact with the rare elements of grace, beauty, spirit and fire.” – Sharon Ralls Lemon
Always Look on the Bright Side of Life
Day 192 – For all you Monty Python fans…
