Photo of the Day: The Next Home Project
Last weekend we took on another fairly large home project – staining our deck. The previous homeowners had neglected it – the stain had wore off on the horizontal surfaces, and the wood was peeling horribly. After several hours of cleaning, power washing, and sanding, we were finally ready. It was pushing 100 degrees last weekend, so we got up early and spent both Saturday and Sunday morning staining. The finished product – Redwood Natural semi-transparent – turned out quite nice, if you ask me.

Photo of the Day: A Work of Art
September is a busy time for art fairs in Kansas City, so I thought this would be a good time to share a photo of this beautiful piece of art. It was donated to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network to auction off. How much would you pay for it?
Photo of the Day: So Serious
After Monday’s photo, I didn’t want my other cat, Esme, to feel left out!
Photo of the Day: My Little Peppers
After planting a green pepper plant in May and watering it regularly, it’s finally starting to produce peppers! I’d almost given up. Aren’t they cute? I hope they taste as good as they look.
Photo of the Day: Crazy Cat
After spending way too much money in vet bills, I think we’ve officially adopted the black cat we rescued a couple of months ago. It just occurred to me that I’d only taken one picture of him. After trying for quite a while yesterday, I realize why. He doesn’t sit still for one. single. second. He’s the most affectionate cat you’ll ever meet, but he still doesn’t get along great with our other cat. He chases her in what seems to be an assertion of dominance. Any tips out there?
Photo of the Day: On the Farm
Sometimes I really enjoy looking back at photos I’ve taken, even just a year ago. It’s crazy how you may get a really good photo, but you don’t post it or print it, so it completely slips your mind. I took this one in Southeast Kansas last September.
Photo of the Day: Sláinte
This weekend my husband and I attended one of our favorite annual events with a group of friends – the KC Irish Fest. This Irish band, We Banjo 3, rocked it! We all loved their show – from their musical talent, to their upbeat music, to their energetic stage presence.
(Sláinte = Cheers in Irish)
Photo of the Day: New Ride
I’m excited to say that my husband and I got a new car this weekend! (Notice that symbol in the bottom-left corner of the photo – the best part about it!) Can you figure out what we bought from this photo?
