Day 187

Today was shucking and canning day.  We shucked six dozen of ears of corn to freeze.  We also canned tomatoes but I'm still counting the jars as we didn't finish.  Will finish up tomorrow.

Day 186

I am just over half way through with my Project 365 and I'm finding it a little bit more difficult to find things to photograph.  I guess it would be easier if I was out and about every day but my office is in my home and needless to say, I don't get out much!  I wander through the house on rainy days (like today) for interesting shots. No, I do not have a Zebra living in my house.  Close though....that would be my daughter Hannah.  I think her room looks like a pigs pen but I don't dare sleep in there much less walk in there as I may hurt myself.  I still love ya though baby girl!

Day 185

Yesterday I had issues with my computer and didn't get the opportunity to write about my picture.  If you haven't figured it out yet, it was Hannah's cozy, spotted blanket.  Today, my in-laws came over and gave us a peck of tomatoes.   Tim wants to can juice and sauce again this year.  This won't be near enough but will give us a head start.

Day 184

Day 183

Have you ever head a baby bunny cry?  I have twice.  The first time wasn't a pretty cry and I won't explain what happened as it was very sad, but the second time I heard them cry was today.  Evidentally, they do not like to get wet.  You see, I was watering my garden when I heard crying.  I knew immediately what it was because I heard that sound before.  I'm not sure how many are in this nest but I did see two for sure.  I will wait a couple of days and see if I can't get a better picture as they will have grown a bit more.  I wondered why my squash plants looked trampled upon.  Now I know.

Day 178-182

Last Thursday (Day 178) we left for South Bend, Indiana...home of Notre Dame.  Carey was invited for the second year to attend the Notre Dame Sophomore Challenge.  This will be our last trip there unless of course, he does extremely well with his studies and prays really, really hard for a full ride scholarship to play lacrosse!! (One can dream, can't they?)

Carey has met other players from as far away as Oregon to New York.  Trading lacrosse shorts with other teams has become a tradition.

While on campus, we took advantage of some photo opportunities.

The golden dome has to be one of the most memoriable sites at Notre Dame.

Day 177

We had storms again today.  It left us with a faint rainbow though.  You will most likely need to click the photo to enlarge it to be able to see it though.
