365 Project: Week 44 & 45

The year, the weeks, the days of 2013 continue to shoot by!
Oh... I accidentally posted Sunday the 27th on the last post so I am starting with Monday, October 28.

October 28
What better way to start of Halloween week than with our porch pumpkins?!?!?!
Wed didn't carve pumpkins this year so these cuties with stay out through whole fall season.

 October 29
Stormy skies and dark mornings. Since the time change it isn't quite as moody on my walks to work, although it is getting dark on my way home.
 
 October 30
Creepy, back lit, night time alley.
 
 October 31
HAPPY HALLOWEEN, friends!
 
 November 1
I went to Tulsa's 1st Friday Art Walk and Day of the Dead Festival with my lovely friend Megan. We had a great time.
 
 November 2
Sweet Keith loves to cuddle. Good thing I like it too.
 
 November 3
For the last few years I have volunteered with and an organization (Pambe Ghana) that hosts a fair trade pop up shop during November and December. I spent the day setting up the shop and was taken with the variety of nativities we have this year.
 
 November 4
There are officially lots of leaves on the ground. They are still in the pretty/charming/crisp phase.
I am enjoying fall this year.
 
 November 5
Sweet Keith was sentenced to life in prison!
 
 November 6
Beautiful prairie sunset and crescent moon.... I wish this picture turned out better.
 
 November 7
Good Morning, all! I hope your day was lovely.
 
 November 8
Behind the scenes at Mohawk Market.
 
November 9
It was chilly in the house and both cats thought it would be a good idea to watch a little TV and snuggle ... who am I to argue with my cats?

365 Project: Week 42 & 43

Realistically, I will just be posting every other week for the rest of the year I will still cover all of the days. But I seem to have gotten on a two week schedule. . . these things just happen sometimes.
I have been looking forward to the fall this year which is odd for me, I am usually more of a spring/ summer person but this year fall has been calling to me, so far it has been pretty and more overcast than usual (although it is supposed to be up in the high 70's low 80's this week so summer is hanging on as long as it can). I will say these dark mornings and early sunsets are making me sleepy! I need to work on getting my energy level back up, pronto!

 October 14
We WAY over planted on sweet potatoes this year and ended up with about 100 lbs!!!! Here are the two biggest we decided those are really edible. Needless to say a bunch of our friends are getting a surprise gift of sweet potatoes.
 
 October 15
Little man loves to roll around and beg for attention. I can't help but give it to him.
 
 October 15
Soup weather! I really like soup (and biscuits).
 
 October 16
Full Moon with clouds. My pictures of the moon never do it justice. It seems like this year has been a beautiful moon year.
 
 October 17
I couldn't sleep and ended up watching Law & Order re-runs. They finally got me to sleep.
 
October 18
That was the high that day!!!!! A huge change from the very warm falls we have had the last two years. I hear the Farmer's Almanac is predicting a very cold winter.
 October 19
Jerod and I could not stop laugh about this pose!!! Don't worry she wasn't stuck just hanging out.
 October 20
Moon set.
 October 21
Cool shadows on the side walk outside of work.
 
 October 22
It's been chilly enough that the cats are cuddling closer and closer to each other but not quite cold enough for them to do a lot of cuddling together. I think it is only a matter of time though.
 
 October 23
I have been teaching a teen knitting class. It is a small but fun group.
 
 October 24
Working on things.
 
 October 25
(Happy Birthday, Mom!!!!)
Waiting for the train to pass so I could finish my walk.
 October 26
The best "float" in the OKC Halloween Parade... It was the car from Ghostbusters.
I have loved this parade in years past. Sadly, this was not it's best year nor did it seem well attended. I am going to hope that it gets itself back on track.
 October 27
As cool as this fall has been the leaves have just started to change in Norman. I think it will be beautiful in all of the old, tree-lined neighborhoods in the next week or two.

365 Project: Week 40 & 41

First, there are less than 12 weeks left in this year!!!! CRAZY!
Second, I am playing catch up as I have been this whole year. 2013: The year of being behind schedule.
Third, I feel like the pictures for the last two weeks are really random. Maybe that's just me?

 September 29
Sweet Keith peeking out of his pillow fort.
 
 September 30
Sunset through a dirty windshield.
 
 October 1
I really noticed the sunsetting earlier during this week making for a dramatic, dusk lit Crispin while I cooked dinner.
 
 October 2
The fancy bathroom light.
 
 October 3
I don't even remember why I took this picture and it was the ONLY picture I took that day. I got home from work late and went for a run and then (I guess) I thought I would take a picture of myself getting ready for bed. I have no clue.
 
 October 4
Happy Birthday Jerod!
Mountain Lion and I both love you.
 
 October 5
Isn't it pretty at Jerod's parent's? It's so bucolic in the Cushing country side.
 October 6
Kittens taking it easy and being a tiny bit creepy.
 
 October 7
I have to take advantage of pretty flowers as soon it will be winter.
 October 8
 5 o'clock traffic. . .I haven't driven in it in ages and don't really miss it.
 October 9
This picture says a lot about our house. Jerod ask me to take the photo and I never even ask why and Crispin has to be in the middle of anything that is happening.
 October 10
I guess Crispin wanted to go to my craft fair with me?!?!?!?
 October 10
Paper lanterns at my booth. Did they help with crafty sales? I don't know but they looked pretty.
October 11
Oh, bike basket you are a handy thing (thanks Bree). And don't think I'm a lush the liquor store was having some good deals and now I don't have to buy wine for a while.

365 Project: Week 38 & 39

We went on vacation. . .it was magical! And other things happened too.
 September 15
Bagel and Bacon Sandwiches. . .even if they aren't cool anymore bagel sandwiches are tasty.
 September 16
Using up food before we head out on vacation. I got a little creative with my tomato sauce.
 September 17
I was trying to take an adorable picture of Sweet Keith hiding under my suitcase lid and the flash accidentally went off. .  .so I ended up taking a picture of his spirit.
September 18
 A lady needs freshly painted nails for vacation, especially if you are me.

 September 19
This picture does not do this scene justice.
Flying to Portland we had to take a propeller plane from Seattle into Portland, it happened to be just as a full moon was rising. It is not hyperbole when I say it is one of the most beautiful sights of my whole life.
September 20
A fun trip to the Japanese Gardens in Portland, OR. Everything was so green.
 September 21
Multnomah Falls in Oregon is amazing. Driving into the forest to see it I expected to see all of my favorite forest dwelling fairytale favorites. I guess there is a bigfoot in the area, too!
 September 22
One of our main excitements in Seattle was the EMP Museum.
It was cool.
 September 23
Space alien sea life at the Seattle Aquarium.
 
September 24
Although they don't seem it (especially Crispin) I think they were glad we came home.

 September 25
Healthing it up after vacation. Quinoa and roasted kale.
 September 26
INVENTORY makes me tired!
 
September 27
Farm fresh eggs!!!!!! A nice surprise from one of the women at the School of Art.
Now I just need to eat a few before Jerod gets to them all.

September 28
Plaza District Festival. Once it quit raining it turned into a great day.
