Eggs and chocolate, Day 333

Numbers are so strange...I am on day # 333 and I only have 33 days left. Happy Easter!

Leftovers, Day 300

Only 66 days left over.

Prep, Day 289

Dreaded mess, Day 259

I was dreading the mess that was waiting for me when I came home tonight...it will still be there waiting for me in the morning as well. How I long for a dishwasher!

Kitchen treasure, Day 191

Gerald made zucchini muffins this morning and Nicolai claimed one immediately.

This old house, Day 145

Part of living in an old house is the mouse problem- they just seem to get in- especially this time of year when the weather is cold at night and they are seeking a warm place. We used to catch them in live traps, then drive them a mile away and set them free. One October evening while I was pregnant with my son (close to 5 years ago) we came home from dinner at a friend's house to find a mouse in the live trap. It also happened that I started having contractions in the car on the way home. Knowing it was going to be a long night, which ended up turning into a long few days, we set the little mouse free. I think that was the last live trap that we used. I was done with being nice to mice.

The fridge, Day 139

The outside of our fridge seems to be constantly accumulating crap. We look at the outside everyday, but we never really see it. It's like a big magnet for scraps of paper, odd photos, kid magnets, found objects, postcards, and shopping lists.

Warming up, Day 128

Today was the first day where it felt like fall. It was cold and rainy and I didn't go out much. I did the dishes just to warm up a bit. I am not looking forward to the cold weather.

By Hand, Day 4

I have begun photographing everything...including the kitchen sink. This project is already teaching me to be much more present in the moment.
