within walking distance: the landing

haven't walked many places in the last 5 weeks, but this is a constant on my landing... husband's running errands shoes. they're ALWAYS there to greet me.... kinda like that solitary grey hair. you don't really WANT it there, and yet, there it IS, day after day!

wednesdays: climbing "mountains"

maybe recently we watched the sound of music.... and we've been singing the songs. especially "climb every mountain." so look who is telling me he's climbing mountains? I'm looking forward to the summer and hiking and camping.

Wednesdays: the "line 'em up" stage

We've entered no man's land. All cars, trucks, stuffed animals and other childhood paraphenalia must be lined up. Everywhere. W loves it. Even the dinosaur magnets on the fridge take regular lined up parades through the magnet letters.

my window-- myself.

What do you do when you have a spare minute, need to do something creative, but alas, have no model (homo sapien or otherwise)?

apparently I entered the land of the self-portrait as the solution this time. It was fun.

lately

my kitchen makes me undeniably happy... even if that little nook never stays shut.

The window light has been really nice there as spring has been coming around. Yesterday it was photographing my cottage cheese, today it was the chair and more (see other posts to come).

I love these kid friendly yet nice-ish looking place mats (plastic! wipe-able! woopee!) And the calm warm of my table. And the chains hanging from the fan (that is rickety and we never use)... but it looks beautiful to me and is H.O.M.E.

ITROW*: let's talk about cottage cheese

Do MEN eat cottage cheese? Probably only once in the last 10 years have I WANTED cottage cheese, and I can only stomach it with peaches (as photographed above right before I devoured it). And even then, before the bowl is finished, it makes me gag.

What are your thoughts on cottage cheese? Do we just eat it because its "healthy"? Do YOU eat it?

*ITROW stands for: In the realm of women. This is where I photograph the beautiful mundane (and discuss it) that is superfluously minute in women's lives.

ITROW: i'm back

How could I not be with this new friend of E's hanging out at my house?
