More teacher training this afternoon. This time it was on the program Frames, which is a pretty cool program for digital storytelling.

As seen while I was driving between schools today. I'm not sure if they're llamas or alpacas. Does anyone know?

Our latest attempt to deter the squirrels from the feeder. It's official, they are smarter than us.

Dottie had a big day on Saturday! She presented a research paper at the Mint Museum of Art in Charlotte, where she did an absolutely amazing job. Afterward, she wanted to go out to eat at The Penguin. There was a 30 minute wait for a table, so we enjoyed getting to know her friends and professors outdoors.

Gatsby and the giraffe. The giraffe is a sculpture that Dottie saved from the trash bin at school (She doesn't think it looks like a giraffe, but I do.)

"I'm alright. Nobody worry 'bout me."
Sorry, couldn't resist. I know it's not the same animal as Caddy Shack, but it reminded me so much of the gopher, that this had to be my photo of the day!

When I was a little girl, my sisters and I would pick these flowers and hold them under each others' chins. If our skin reflected yellow, that meant we liked butter. I realize they are dandelions, and weeds. But to me, they are little bits of summer sunshine in a field of green.

A female killdeer has decided that the courtyard at school is an excellent place to raise a family. She has a nest of eggs by the sidewalk. The funny thing about these birds is that if they feel their nest is threatened, they scream and pretend to have a broken wing. Apparently I posed a threat.

For a long time, the squirrels have been driving me crazy eating from the bird feeder. I've tried safflower seeds, which are supposed to deter them. I've tried hot pepper powder. I've even created a feeder just for them. But, they still like to eat from the bird feeder. Then I saw this little guy. Go ahead, Buddy. You can eat all you want.

One of my greatest pleasures in life is watching the birds in our back yard. We must have the most well fed birds in the neighborhood.

A scene from this weekend. The bridge at Wrightsville Beach. It opens every hour on the hour. This time, a very tall sailboat went through.

Gotta love spring! Cherry trees are blossoming all over the place. The only thing better than the trees blossoming is when they start to lose their petals and it rains pink.

We grilled out tonight. While I was outside, I looked up and noticed how bare the trees look without their leaves. Very soon, we'll be under the canopy again.

"In the spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love." ~Alfred Lord Tennyson
And this is what love looks like after 62 years of marriage. The hands belong to my in laws, who were married in December of 1947. They remain completely devoted to one another, despite the fact that she is in an assisted living facility and he is still at home.

We had a long drive after work today. I didn't get a chance to take pictures during the work day. If you look closely, you can see how tired I am.

This is what lunch looks like when I don't have leftovers. Yogurt, granola bar, peanut butter crackers and email.

I am continually intrigued by abandoned homes and buildings I see out in the woods. I wonder who lived there? Who built it? What caused them to leave? This particular house was uncovered when they were clearing woods for a new development. I saw it when I was driving between schools today and had to stop.

I was crazy busy at work today. On the way home, I noticed the speedometer, so I snapped it with my phone. I had no intentions of using this as my photo today, but I'm just too tired to take any more.

We're already into March and there hasn't been a shot of my feet. These are my new striped socks!

Say hello to Mr. Squirrel. He was quite content with eating the seeds the birds dropped from the feeder. And yes, he's getting quite obese.

Yesterday you got to see our back door, in all it's grime and glory. Today, here is our front door. It is very rarely used, and presents a more formal entrance to our home. Such a different feel than the back door.

Every day I struggle to come up with an idea for the photo of the day. And every day I'm positive I overlook something that would be an awesome photo. Some of the things I often overlook are parts of our everyday life. Thus, I present the door from our garage into the house. We use this door more often than any other. All our family uses this door, as well as our closest friends. You can even see where the dog scratches the door when he wants to come inside. I guess you could say this door represents the portal into our most private lives.

I have been at a conference all day today. The best part is that I re-connected with a childhood friend! The last time I saw her she was a senior in high school and I was in college, and we hadn't seen each other for a while before that. The crazy thing is that our lives have had a strange parallel, both became teachers and we both now work in instructional technology! It does my soul good!

Donald is such a good sport. I wanted to practice taking some head shots that were similar to the ones that the photographer took at the wedding. He kept posing for me until I got one that I liked.
