APurple month make up

I didn't make my goal of April. But I did still take a lot of photos of purple things....

Hop into Easter

Easter weekend was a crazy one! I took lots of photos, but the need to focus on purple, wasn't the priority. I did still manage to capture the April 3 image above at a Disney on Ice performance.

This photo was to show off the cutest part of our Easter table. The bunny-fold napkins! A little purple egg peeking out.

explore, purple

I have been spinning in circles. I make sure to take some down time, but life has been flying by. I want to enjoy it more. 2010-4 months in... The days are getting warmer, I am waking up with the sun and little dog. Exploring the joys of the focusing my observations...
For April, I am trying a little "exploration" through another round of photos a day. For this month, I am going to take a photo of a day, theme "Purple". Just to see what I see when I am having my mind aware of purple around me.

This is April 1. I was busy getting ready for guests, so I didn't get it posted yesterday. It is my tissue box at work, I don't think I noticed the purple on it before.

In bloom.
On campus. I noticed the yellow ones last week, over looked there were purple tulips growing there too.


Turns out my calendar believe April is purple too...

Mad

Just got caught up on this week's episode of Mad Men. I can't believe there is only 2 episodes until the end of the season! Sad! I redid this little 60 style of myself. Dig the trans fats in the doughnut.
PS I know this is a bit cheating for my photo-of-the-day.

cleaning

Trying a new mixture of all purpose cleaning spray... maybe if it works good i will share how!

Monday hit me

Before my midterm... A zen moment

After... a release...

travel like light

After paying way too much for parking yesterday, I spent the extra 30 minutes and rode the lightrail.

I didn't see anyone with one crutch and shorts on one leg, pants on the other.

I am easily distracted. I HAD A MILLION QUESTIONS about this shirt.. or really the man wearing it. I could not focus, really.. look at it!

Downtown..everything's great..

and then you get cuddles when you are tired at night!

Krispy Toys

Pumpkin Spice Krispy Kreme

Why I have trouble focusing on studying for my midterm.

There is an eye looking at me.

Look at the eye in the trunk! Please tell me what you see in the trunk of the tree.
Just in time for a spoky time of year...

My view of ASU

Feel like my view of things is a bit spotty

2 hours north

Oven going in 96 degrees

It has bee heating up here again. But we already had red potatoes and turnips from CSA, we wanted to make a roasted chicken with veggies. That we did.

Since I had the oven going, I figured I might as well do some baking with the apples from the apple picking trip.

The recipe for this apple cake here.

iPhone from my car

Planting the seeds

Today Jesse planted seed for our backyard grass. As seen on TV! We will see if it works, please notice the clearance tag from Target.

These are my pumpkins, protected by a fence, but planted in the ground.. I might have pumpkins by Christmas!

Wooden Bench

Just sitting outside on this wooden bench...

It makes me feel like it is fall... Except that I am sitting outside on this bench...

Maybe going to class will make me think it is fall... since school means fall.
