2013, Week #17

Here are my photos from April 22-28.  A busy week!

Sometimes my work requires phrases like this one.

April 24 - first breakfast on the porch!

An hour before my exhibit opening!

Morning puppy #1.

Aaand a close-up of morning puppy #2.

Happy birthday to a lovely friend!

An afternoon date with the monkeys. Crowded seating area at Kimball Farm ice cream - good thing there were chairs in the back of my sister's car!

King of the Mountain!

Pushing his brother, at bro's request.

Too much fun in the hammock.

This happened.  Awwww.

2013, Week #16

Here are my photos from April 15-21.  I didn't take many on Monday and Tuesday, as I was in tears a lot from the sorrow & heartache of the Boston Marathon bombings.  Looking at the week of pictures, though, reminds me of all the little good things that make up daily life.  Those quotidian things - family, pets, green things - comforted me and others through this week and will continue to provide comfort to us in the days ahead.

Snuggly puppies in the morning.

My new desk at work.

The kids at my final school vacation workshop built and planted this in less than an hour.  Go them!

Going to miss this.

In other news, panels for traveling exhibit delivered Friday; unpacked Saturday.

Forsythia!

Loving the sun on the porch. She's a hothouse flower.

My late grandmother's Christmas cactus, blooming away in a sunny window. After a week like this, it's the little things.

Love this vignette.

2013, Week #15

And here are my photos for the week of April 8-14:

Atlatl throwing. Long, tiring day today, but still, I get paid to do this!

One of the last times I'll see this million dollar view (at the museum I'm leaving)!

My husband is high-larious.

Dinner on Wednesday with a co-worker - yum!

Work, work, work. So boring.

And then I'm working from home, working from home ...

Almost open for business! George Washington exhibit begins 4/26!

Spring and a young man's fancy turns to patio work.

Twiggy.

Here are my photos from March 25-31!

Springy plants at IKEA.

My lovies at rest.

Sunny window plants.

Posted this one already last week, but gosh, work is such a bore.

Spring is coming, it promises.

Having some work done on the kitchen.  Here's the before - a perfectly functional stainless steel sink and laminate countertops.

Progress.

 More progress, featuring my gorgeous new butcher block countertops.

Getting there . . .

Ta-da!  (Well, minus a soon-to-be-tiled backsplash, a new pendant light, the removal of the window cornice, trim work, etc. etc. etc.

Puppies on the way to the lake for Easter.

Sunny puppy butts!

Pokemon education time.

Egg seeking.
