Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. I am thankful for so much of the First Amendment, and [...]

Curiosity — 30 Days of Gratitude, Day 7

I’m grateful for curiosity (at least most days) Why are the sunflower stems pokey? Why can’t I eat these sunflower seeds? Why are we walking home? (well so you can ask more questions of course!) Occasionally the why’s are replaced by the did you knows. Did you know I promises Mrs. Robb a puppy for her birthday? It’s [...]

Me — 30 Days of Gratitude, Day 6

That’s a different version of the same picture that I posted in the Flickr group. I decided I liked that you couldn’t tell I’d taken it by holding the camera in front of me pushing the shutter button and hoping for the best. I’m grateful for me. Not in a self absorbed way, but more [...]

Sunshine — 30 Days of Gratitude, Day 4

I’m grateful for sunshine, even on the coldest of days being able to walk in the sunshine lifts ones spirit in ways that nothing else is able to do. After this afternoon I’m also grateful for how much easier it is to capture sunbeams on an evening sun rather than midday sun. [...]

Right to Vote — 30 Days of Gratitude, Day 3

heather365 — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 22:07:39 +0000

I am thankful for the right to vote, and to those who exercise that right. Sometimes you it’s a vote for someone you think will do a good job, other times it’s a vote against someone with ideas you disagree with but either way it’s a vote. The right to vote wasn’t over in one [...]

Fall — 30 Days of Gratitude, Day 2

heather365 — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 18:27:17 +0000

I’m grateful for fall. So many things about fall are a sensory seekers perfect season. The crunchy leaves beneath your feet, the crisp air, smell of snow in the near future. The early snowstorm this year stole our leaves in town, and the ones on the ground aren’t as crunchy as normal but they still make [...]

Warmth — 30 Days of Gratitude, day 1

heather365 — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 17:59:15 +0000

We woke up to snow, not quick skiff in the morning that is gone by 10 but a it’s been snowing for 2 days snow. I’ve been huddled up inside with hot cocoa, a book, fire in the fireplace with a pan of cinnamon warming on top. The kids have loved every moment of it, because of [...]

C is for Carrot

B is for Brother

heather365 — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 16:35:52 +0000

The Informer has a sound bag that each day they are bringing a picture that begins with the sound of the day. Except for C day (I do have a few catalogs with pictures of cameras) I don’t have the kind of magazines that have the kind of pictures that would work, so [...]

Back to School

heather365 — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 16:23:45 +0000

They went back last Thursday. The Investigator is in *gulp* middle school. At back to school night there were make-up wearing, cell phone carrying, walking fast so I’m not associated with my parents teenagers. Those teenagers were students. In some kind of reality that has bypassed me until now I didn’t realize that [...]
