My Day, 15/31: Time for a New Doily

I felt like starting a new thread crochet project, and so I did!  It's a pattern called "Summer Splendor".  I am temporarily in love with this green thread.  It's booful, as they say.  It feels vintage-y, too (to me, at least), which I like.

My Day 14/31: Trixie Was Bored.

On this day in history, I... took a photo of a bored Trixie-dog.  (Sorry, it's the best I can do.  I can't remember what I was thinking when I took this photo.   Probably I was just too tired to bother thinking of something really reflective of the day...)

My Day 13/31: Lone Pine Breaks

The lone, dead pine tree out in the Hurricane Ivan clearing has finally broken.  For a long time after lightning killed it, it stood and provided a roost for the birds, but the wind in this day's storms was too much for it.  The end of an era. ;o)

My Day 12/31: Dog Bones

I refilled the dogs' bone treat jar.

These bones are huge. I don't like them, because they're really too big to give whole to my medium-small-sized dogs, yet they're not that easy to break in half. Fortunately, we've almost used them up...

My Day 11/31: Painting a Shelf

I painted a shelf that's destined to hang somewhere in the kitchen. It was originally cream-colored, which I thought would just blend in with the yellow-painted walls. This aqua paint should make the decorative details of the shelf more visible, I hope.

My Day 10/31: WearEver

I washed pots and pans. (g)
(It happens pretty often.)

My Day 9/31: Clothesline

I tried out my new clothesline for the first time with "regular" laundry (because the sheets I did a day or two before didn't count).  It took longer for them to dry than I had expected. 

My Day 8/31: Haircut for Molly

We gave Molly the first half (?) of her haircut today. It's not an easy job to cut her hair (mainly because she doesn't enjoy the process), so for all our sakes, we left the rest for another time.

My Day 7/31: Relaxing with a "Book"

I spent part of the afternoon curled up on the couch with the new e-reader. (I've written about some of the things I like most about it in this blog entry.)

My Day 6/31: Kindle!

For a long time, I wasn't sure how I'd feel about an e-reader.  Certainly not sure enough to put (what I consider to be) a lot of money into buying one.  But then the prices went down some... and I had a small gift card to use... so I gave in...

And I think it's love at first sight. 

Seriously, I can already tell that I'm going to do a lot more reading because of this gadget.  It's pretty neat.
