115/365: Baby Bubbles

 Jesse likes to blow spit bubbles now. Wow - that's probably gross to most of you guys... Wait until I post a picture of my foot wound (I probably won't)!

I guess if he was an adult it would be different. LOL

114/365: Rubber

 Random rubber bands in my Mom's sewing room. I should upload a picture of that soon. Crazy fun place!

113/365: Frank's Buttons

 Frank was a friend of my parents. My Mom used to sew for him - she would make him the hideously eccentric button-up shirts. That's not a judgment - just who he was. He was a really fun character. He passed away this week.

112/365: Creepy

 ...that's what I think of this old baby shoe. *shudder*

I think it was my Mom's or something...really, I have no idea, I just thought it would make a cool, creepy picture.

111/365: Gonna' Arrest You!

 Jesse is going to arrest you - you better behave!

ROFL

110/365: Attack of the Crows

 This is my neighbor's yard - by the time I got the camera and got outside, the crows were migrating away.

They were so loud that it sounded like a steam boat or something (their cawing and flapping together). There had to be HUNDREDS, if not thousands, of them all together, but what you see (if you can, indeed, see in this picture at this size) is just the tail end of the flock flying away. They don't stay long - literally seconds. This is the third bunch in as many days.

109/365: Butt Bath

 Love it - it SMELLS SO GOOD! Jeremy and Jesse both needed soap so when we went for groceries yesterday we got them some. I hope it gets them really clean! Jeremy's (not pictured) cost us 6 bucks and this one for Jesse was all of 8, but hey - it was worth it just for the bottle! LOL I DO love the way this smells and it really does wonders for his dry skin. =)

The Boudreaux's butt cream (diaper rash ointment) is awesome, too. We had to use it ONCE and he's never had another rash since. Yay!

108/365: Sunday Flood

 We've had a bit of rainy weather today. OK - a BIT is an understatement. This was a couple of hours ago - at the time that I am posting this, my neighbors driveway is completely under water because their pond has flooded way up into the yard. The horses are splashing and going insane. It's craziness.

I hope the highways aren't too bad - we are supposed to venture out to my parents' house this afternoon to make copies of some things with my mom's copy machine and, of course, let them visit with Jesse...

107/365: Hard Day's Work

 Everyone was tired after a long Saturday...Jeremy had to work, the dogs worked very hard playing with their toys, and Jesse worked very hard eating, napping, and growing. I worked very hard doing laundry and taking care of Jesse, and would have been laid out with the rest of the clan, but somebody had to take the picture. =)
.

106/365: Beautiful Blues

 I think I actually took this yesterday morning or the morning before, but when I was downloading the shots from my camera (including what was to be today's picture) I saw this and HAD TO SHARE IT!

LOL Proud Mama syndrome is in full force today. Sorry... =)

I hope his eyes don't change colors as he gets older (unless they get bluer!) - he's only 12 weeks old (as of yesterday). I think they are the most beautiful blue I've ever seen in a person's eyes - I hope he takes after me and keeps them (I've got blue eyes and his Dad has green).

OK now I realize that it is hard to see the color in his eyes due to the size of the picture here. Oh well - it's there. LOL

105/365: Sunbathing

 Took this with my cell phone this morning - Scrappy was sunbathing on the couch while I fed Jesse. She LOVES laying in the sun but she'd rather do it from INSIDE the house. LOL Thought it was pretty neat the way the rays of the sun were being filtered by the windows.

I just LOVE my Scrappy!

104/365: Sad Fairy

 I think she looks sad - probably because it's dreary out, and cold; AND, her bed (flower bed) is CRAP. I MUST clean up my beds in spring and make them beautiful again. Funny how pregnancy forces you to fall behind on things that you used to find incredibly important.

103/365: Basket o Rocks

 This is a basket of rocks that has been sitting on the roof of the well pump that is built on to our house. The well has been filled in; I wish it wasn't because well water would be free and awesome.

Anyway - we collected these from the woods and places around our house. We were going to use them for decoration or something but we never got around to it after I got pregnant. Our yard was totally neglected (aside from being mowed) last year. This year I am going to make it pretty again (time permitting!).

102/365: Skull

 This is our skull. We found it whilst hiking at the wildlife reserve near our house. Jeremy says it's a deer skull but geez - it seems really small to me, when you compare it to the deer head he got mounted when he was a teenager... Whatever - it's still wicked cool to have a skull of anything that you just happened upon. LOL

101/365: Fishy

 This fishy lives in our laundry room. I forget exactly where he came from - we had one that came from somewhere, and at some point along came a friend for him (which was this fishy)... Who knows...

100/365: Auric Blends

 I love incense. This was one of my favorites - all gone now...

99/365: Petzels

 Didn't do any real shooting today - lazy day, mostly spent lounging with Jesse while Jer was at work. I did manage to have my cell phone handy when I took the dogs outside so I shot their treat bucket - the handy dandy Petzels! They loved the petzels, but they were so expensive and we got them from a pet store in the city (about an hour from here) so now we've just gone back to getting their (more healthy and better for their tummies) milkbones when we grocery shop at the local store. LOL WE love the T-bucket (treat bucket), tho!!

98/365: Bedroom Window through ET Eyes

 Just playing with the new extension tubes - first picture with any light in it (playing with getting the aperture to work)... Kind of a cool bokehish-ness I think...

97/365: Extension Tubes

 The new extension tubes arrived a few days ago - I've yet to figure them out but, then, I haven't had time to really sit down and try working with them (plus it's been so COLD to get outside with them)...

96/365: Belly Shots

  LOL@my title...

Just printing out some small pics of my belly for scrapbooking purposes. I can't find the videos/pics for the last 8 or so weeks! Got a couple from the last week though...
.

Alas, a child is born...

...THREE MONTHS AGO.

That's right, people - THREE months ago. OK, eleven weeks ago - but that's almost three months.

I apologize for the lack of enthusiasm I've had when it comes to posting my 365 images here (or anything else, for that matter). I HAVE been keeping up with the project at the 365 project website, but that in itself is a chore when you have a new baby at home.

Here's a quick update:

I'm going to be posting all the images from the past three or so months and back-dating them, so even though we all know that they weren't posted on their original or proper dates, they WILL be posted on their original or proper dates. That's just so we are saved that agony of having 100 posts split between a week. Can you imagine the horror of how bad that would look/seem?!

Not that I have any readers - well, except, perhaps, for a couple of stray friends from real life - but hey - I still like to imagine that there are hundreds of you out there reading me and enjoying my sometimes wonderful/sometimes crap-filled images (hey, let's face it - with 365 we're just trying to get an image a day...it's about content, not necessarily quality!), and I love you all - imaginary or not.

*sigh*

So, now I am off to smoke a cigarette (I know, I said I wasn't going to start that again after the baby came, but what can I say? IT'S A STRESSFUL LIFE.), and then finish my chores while the little bundle of poo and whines is napping, while I pray that the second half of the day is pulled off as pleasantly as the first half has been.

95/365: Frosty Spikes

 I decided to be adventurous this morning and try to get a picture (macro, of course) of the frosty spikes on the tailgate of the truck. I haven't seen them stand up like this - even THEY must have been crazy freezing! LOL

94/365: Tail Light Frost

 This is a macro shot (using stacked macro filters) of frost on the tail light of the truck. Every morning has been an adventure in frost for the past several days - I'm always excited to take the dogs out and see what designs were left for me during the night.

93/365: What's in my diaper bag...

 What's in my diaper bag - this is something that is the topic of videos amongst mothers at YouTube. I once did a video but it changes so often (what's in my diaper bag) that I just took a freeze frame (picture). LOL

92/365: The toothcicle is melting!

 LOL The toothcicle is melting, and while I got a couple of pretty shots of it I really liked this one that focuses more on one of the little icicles and has the sparkle in it. I think it's so pretty! The sun being out and reflecting in it is so strange...I don't know why but it is... LOL

=)

91/365: Toothcicle

 LOL Icicle hanging from our house - looks like a tooth when you get close up on it... ROFL

We had some wintry weather tonight and I took this with flash as the clouds were moving out. I couldn't believe it took! I will take one in the morning after daylight.
