Daily pear

Since I clearly need to practice daily adherence to this project, I'm going to try to keep going, even tho R is currently home and I'm not trying to seriously document anything right now.

This morning's walk with Heidi was relaxing. We took a road that has very little traffic on the weekends and I let her little doggie nose pretty much take the lead. I love to watch for the little details of change at the end of summer. Tiny, tell-tale clues that the fullness of summer is drawing to a close.

These pears are a great example. They grow alongside the road in several places near my neighborhood, and they never really get much bigger than this, making it hard to tell when they're ripe. I might try to pick some this year, tho, and see if their tiny package is disguising big flavor.

Easy

So I thought I'd give this idea a trial run. R isn't deployed yet, but he is playing Army at a different base for the better part of a month, so I thought I'd see how I do with the photo-a-day idea.

So far, not that great, since I have one pic for 3 days and this was yesterday. Hmm.

This is the morning of the empty bed. See how neat the pillows and covers are? This comes from me sleeping comfortably, corner to opposite corner, with the blanket tucked in tight. This is how I always sleep - and wake up - the first few mornings alone. Relishing the luxury of all that space to myself.
