Day 150 of 365, Tuesday. Today has been quite an eventful day, and I had quite a few pictures to choose from. But, since this is a photo a day, I had to narrow it down to one. However, I can still talk about all the events. First of all, when I was leaving for work this morning, three little kittens were hanging out in the basket on our front porch. Just what we don't need, more abandoned kittens. Luckily, the mother cat returned and still nursed them. By the end of the day they had disappeared.
Then, my aunt called early very upset that one of her cats had died, the one I call Sweetie Pie. After trying all morning to call her back and couldn't get her, I left work early to check on her. After talking it over, we determined that she had not been attacked by anything, but died of natural causes. It happens with farm cats. By the time I left, she had calmed down quite a bit.
And lastly, but possibly most importantly, I have been remembering my grandmother today. When I was about 5 or 6, I distinctly remember asking her about her birthday. I can still hear her responding "The 30th of May." So today, in honor what would be her 104 birthday, I am celebrating with my version of a "cone of cream", a very small milkshake. Happy Birthday, Maw!
This photo is from the farm, near where Aunt Frankie buried Sweetie Pie. I think they are called Fire and Ice, and I just love them.
Day 149 of 365, Monday. We had the perfect end to a long weekend today. Instead of driving straight to Concord after leaving Wilmington, we took a detour through Raleigh. Here is a small snippet of the fun we all had.
Day 148 of 365, Sunday. Yesterday I treated myself to a pedicure. Today, we got our feet (and the rest of ourselves) in the ocean today. The water was cold, but boy, was it refreshing!
Day 147 of 365, Saturday. This has been a truly great day. It feels like every time we are in Wilmington, all our cares are washed away. Even Jolly Mon seems to feel it.
Day 146 of 365, Friday. For as long as I can remember, I have disliked driving over this bridge. Since it is a steel bridge, I always feel like I am going to slip and slide into the next lane. Lately, however, this bridge symbolizes the start of relaxation. I love to look over and see the Cape Fear river with the boats docked in the port. I wish we could spend more time here.
Day 145 of 365, Thursday. One of the things I like most about this photo a day challenge is looking for beauty in everyday life. This cactus is at Aunt Frankie's house and it is full of blossoms.
Day 144 of 365, Wednesday. We have had lots and lots of rain this afternoon, and they are calling for storms through tomorrow. I wanted to capture a photo that shows how much rain we are having, but that's hard to do. So instead you are getting our little house.
