day sixtythree 3.4.2010

the sun has finally returned! this is my kitchen window with the morning sun streaming through.

day sixtytwo 3.3.2010

don't know why this photo is uploading sideways! maybe it knows i am cheating today- i forgot to take a photo, so this is actually from a few days ago. carrie was sweet enough to send me a package with some assorted surprises from Austin TX. she says you've got to send mail to get mail. i am glad there are people out there that still believe in the USPS.

day sixtyone 3.2.2010

i love how footprints leave the lines we walk in the snow long after the event has happened. this photo was taken at night on my way to the faculty parking lot at dutchess community college, heading home after teaching my night 2-d design class.

day sisxty 3.1.2010

i've been teaching one point perspective in my intro to drawing and design class this week and having the students draw the hallway in our building. i wouldn't be surprised if i start dreaming of this hallway-

day fiftynine 2.28.2010

2 days after the big storm, and a lot of people still don't have power. Beacon was hit pretty hard- some people aren't expected to get power back for 3 weeks. lots of trees are down all over the place. here's part of one that i think looks like an upside down tree.

day fiftyeight 2.27.2010

Zoe has been a member of my family since Jan 3, 2004, whereas Murphy recently joined the clan on June 13, 2010. It was not easy at all when he first moved in. We even lived with a baby gate dividing our home in half with stepstools on either side so the cat could roam freely but the dog was contained in a couple rooms for the first two weeks. We weren't sure if they would ever be able to be in the same room as each other, but this is how it looks now. Still not BFFs, but I'll take it.

day fiftyseven 2.26.2010

two points of interest, both of which are fairly obvious-

1) there was a huge blizzard on the east coast. we all got snow days, nate and i wound up eating breakfast at our favorite place in cold spring, and as we sat at the window our friends walked by, saw us, and joined the breakfast festivities. it was a coffee-fueled gathering of friends not going to work on a work day and it was a good time. we spent the afternoon playing in the snow with Murphy W. Presley who loves snow more than he loves cheese dropped on the floor (which is a lot).

b: i have been remiss on posting photos, but i have been keeping them in files with the dates on them, so it's not as bad as it may appear. as a mea culpa, i offer up 4 (yes four!) photos for today. hopefully you will find it in your heart to forgive!
