Project 365 - Week 18  
It's that time of the week again. Sometimes, when I look back at the week in pictures (182 to choose from this time), my life seems incredibly boring. hikes, dogs, cooking, hikes, dogs...And yet, my Friday post is fun even while I left off my hike, Bennett Gap trail in the Pisgah Nat'l forest - which really, sums up my life here. I WANTED this. I worked for this. I just have to keep getting outside and trying to be more social.

I was guilted/cajoled into shipping cookies southward.
(to be fair, it was owed/overdue and EC was right in calling in the cookie favor)
So I went for an entirely Caker Cookbook menu of Mama Peplinski's Pecan Mini-Muffins (seen below),
Grandma Lois' Brownies, Oato-Choc-Toffee cookies (the big hit)...and rice krispies. mmm.




4.28.08
I had shown this before, with a peeking bird...I opened up the front of
the lantern in the hopes that the bird would nest. And it did...laid eggs
and one or two hatched, and a cat came around, and between the cat and my photos,
i think the bird abandoned the nest. bummer.



4.29.08
Today was really all about debt. House debt. Reorganizing house debt.
So step one was refinancing the 'here house' and the next step is to
refinance the 'there house' and then...maybe...someday...selling the fucker.

weekend project


4.30.08
Woke up to frost...can you see it?
picture doesn't do it justice.



5.1.08
ha-ha.



5.2.08
CIRCUS at Warren Wilson College.
Kind of like an end-of-year talent show with no boundaries.
Creative, costumed, freak-themed...below is a giraffe. And the band rocked.

Additional shots for those that are interested...OGRE! Host/aged circus ringleader, old-time dance routine, and a very hazy shot of the amazing acrobatics. [yes, juniperjupiter clearly should have attended WWC...not only do they have a creative writing degree, but they seem to be gender-neutral, freak-loving, costume-loving, AND there are clubs devoted to acrobatics.

5.3.08
Dog Groomer day - yes, our dogs go to what can technically be called a salon,
for nail trimming. because it IS easier...on us and them. The muzzles have been
deemed necessary. They always enter in panic mode and come out like it was no big deal.

1. what is that blue in the pic referring to frost?
a shadow?
did you manipulate it?

2. what is gender-neutral in reference to?

3. i love when church signs try to be funny.

4. NONE OF YOUR SWEETS HAVE CHOCOLATE IN THEM!!!!?!!!
is this a fact?!

1. no manipulation...the instant the sun hit everything (grass, roof, house, bushes) the frost disappeared - so the only remaining frost patches were in the shadow - in this case the chimney...thought it looked cool.

2. well, WWC is very, very gay-lesbian-bi-open/friendly. you get the idea that it is pretty much people deciding whether or not they are attracted to each other without any gender constraints.

3. no friggin' kidding. my favorite from Easter was:

Mary Had a Little Lamb...
........He was sacrificed.

4. oh, they do...the Brownies are from scratch with lots of added choc chips. can't have baked goods without chocolate.

i'm in love with the idea WWC. (is polygamy legal there? can dan marry me too so i can go to school for free? ;) ) those pictures are awesome.

also, muzzle-face? i will have to take the "mama-shot" comparison, because it's identical (the eyes, mostly).

The laws around here make it difficult for me to approach a bar to buy two beers so I'm guessing polygamy is probably frowned upon, as well (unless there's some sort of "hillfolk" loophole on the books). Adoption is always an option, however.

you could do weeks upon weeks of trail shots and it would never be boring...some of us are rather jealous ya'know...

i am a little worried he's going to bite off his tongue though.
