The not-so-merry month of May

May

May was a difficult month for me in this Project 365. Some days I didn’t want to touch my camera, and one day I got so caught up doing other things that I forgot about a photo until 10 minutes before midnight. But here’s something: I think that many of my recent throwaway, shot-just-for-365 photos are better than some of my intentional shots from earlier in the year. Not all, but some. Perhaps I’m getting better at this.

I just hope June is more fun. 151 down; 214 to go.

April, come she will

April

April has come, and will be gone in less than an hour. I’ve started writing about the newest additions to our household, and the springtime farmers markets, but haven’t managed to finish anything. All I have to offer you right now is 30 photos, one taken each day of April. I hope you enjoy them.

And that was March

April 1, 2009

Hello! Another month has passed without any new words here at Music and Cats. I really planned to write in March, but you can see how I did with that. However, I am still taking at least one photo (and usually a lot more) every day. Clicking on the photo montage above will take you [...]

Every day of February

February 28, 2009

I’ve been thinking recently about words, and how I might sometime soon want to string a few of them together and put them where someone could read them. Perhaps here, or maybe somewhere else. No promises; just sharing these thoughts for now.
I do, however, promise to keep taking one photo a day, every day [...]

I’ve been busy…

January 31, 2009

… somewhere else.

I made it through the first month of my Project 365 (one photo each day for the entire year)! Click on the photo mosaic to see the individual shots for the month of January. In the set are some shots that are throwaways, but all I had for the day, and some that [...]

small joys: 6

January 6, 2009

1. New windows installed in our bedroom today! The old windows — 101 years old — were crooked, and therefore drafty. When the wind blew, we could see our curtains move… and yes, that was with the windows closed. The new windows are double-paned, with argon between the panes and low-E coating on the exterior. [...]

Chili/chilly night

January 6, 2009

Although I live in Seattle, I am a Texan. I was born there, and lived three quarters two thirds of my life there. And, though I’ve lived here almost a decade, I just don’t feel like I’m a Washingtonian. (I do occasionally feel like a Seattleite. Go figure.) However, I’m not a very good Texan. [...]

small joys: 5

January 5, 2009

1. Sliding on the snow only a little while backing our car down the driveway this morning, and clear, navigable streets the rest of the way to work.
2. Leftover chili for dinner tonight. And still enough for another couple of lunches or dinners.
3. Five days into my 365 photo project (one photo a day for [...]

small joys: 4

January 4, 2009

1. Singing along with and dancing to favorite songs on my iPod while cooking dinner.
2. Discovering that our treadmill still works, and walking the first mile of 2009 on it.
3. Watching the snow fall, and the world turn white. I don’t think I’ll ever tire of the watching, though I hope tonight’s snow is gone [...]

small joys: 3

January 3, 2009

1. First farmers market of the year, and the first time I’ve been in two weeks (a long time between markets for me). Despite December’s record-breaking cold and snow, farmers had vegetables!
2. Phone call from a dear friend who lives on the east coast, whom we don’t see or talk with nearly often enough.
3. GoldRush [...]
