It was a week of transition. I am back in the US for a family emergency for a while. I kept up with the project just so that I could have a bit of routine to my day. March 6: Biscuits. I may do the majority of the baking in our house, but Douglas bakes... Continue Reading →
Another week of transition as I flew to Chicago on Friday, but this is only for a short trip to see my college-age kids. I continue to thoroughly enjoy Arizona. It is so amazing in its beauty. I’ve said this before, but America is so beautiful. March 13, 2020 - Hibiscus I have loved Hibiscus... Continue Reading →
The heaviness of the week has caused much reflection. My grandfather was born in Ukraine.

I'm pretty proud of myself. I've stuck with this project for almost a month. I'm not good with consistency so this is a very good thing. But that being said, this week was hard. I think the grey and gloomy weather is finally taking its toll. I knew coming back to Germany that it would... Continue Reading →
My life is pretty boring. The weather here can be pretty wet. It is getting harder to find things to take pictures of. There are all sorts of arguments running around in my brain regarding this project. When I find multiple objects in a day, can I save them to use for another day? Can... Continue Reading →
The snow melted. We had appointments. We got out of the house. Back to homeschooling and all the other things this week. Ella and I started going to the gym. It was a week of trying to get a new routine, but not necessarily doing well at it because it was also a long weekend.... Continue Reading →
