Joining Barbara and friends for "52 weeks of daily life in pictures: trials and celebrations, the extraordinary and mundane -- whatever is unique to the week. Join me if you like."
Playing catch-up here with my 52 Weeks pictures.
January 22 - A jolly Murphy mopping dude on Saturday duty.
January 23 - A happy little laundry-folding girl.
January 24 - The little girls share a colorful meal.
January 25 - No words really; we just knew this one had to be the picture of the day.
January 26 - This one gets an explanation. I was reading the Silmarillion out loud and we had gotten to the ending part about the Rings of Power, so Jonathan started telling us about Siegfried and the ring cycle. Then we talked some more about the music and the jotuns and Brunnhilde and all that, and then of course we thought of dear Rush (Melendy). Jonathan went and got the book (one of our most favoritest kids' books of all time) and read chapter three to us, using his best Willy-under-the bathroom-basin voice. "I ain't no authority on German opry," Willy said. "The language don't appeal to me. What's this Seegfreed about?" "Well, it's about a guy in a forest who lives in a cave with another guy who's a gnome." "A what?" said Willy. "A gnome. Kind of a dwarf like Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Kind of a little magic guy. You know." "Okay. Skip it," said Willy. "So what happens? Or wait a minute, Rush. You might just take a look around and see if there's any cookies first."...
January 27 - Kateri draws a king and a princess and a little princess in their castle.
January 28 - Having a jolly time making pretzels together.
January 29 - This one's for M & M. A Carolina wren makes a visit to the suet but gets chased away by a hairy woodpecker. We don't usually see wrens in winter, so this was a delightful sighting.
Wonderful photos...I am really looking forward to these each week.
The one with no comment: I am having trouble making it out. With my poor eyes and the dim lighting, it looks to me like a dragon wearing a cloak...

Oh yes, I also wanted to thank you for making me aware of the fact that there is a series of Melendy books! I knew of The Four Story Mistake and Then There Were Five, but not of any others. I am so glad to know this!

I have to say the feet hanging over the breakfast bar is most interesting, but I love, love Kateri's princesses!

Glad you are catching up - I missed your daily photos.
Love you son in the Fairfield U sweatshirt. My son is a senior there and graduates in May. Talk about an event that makes you feel like you are no longer 21!!!

M & M were delighted to see your Carolina wren. Great picture! Thanks so much for sharing all your pictures.

Okay, now I can see the pair of feet! When I first saw the photo, I had the laptop on my lap in the livingroom and the picture was dim (Power-Saving function!)...
