46. Blooming

Have I mentioned that I LOVE living at home.  Looking at these out my window every day is pure bliss.  I remember when we moved here the plum tree was such a tiny thing, but now every spring it's a monster explosion of little pink flowers, filling our kitchen window with color and excitement.

28. Still

Life.

Usually the fruit bowls are saved for painting and stuff like that.  But we all know I'm obsessed with photographing food, and I'm trying to figure out how to rock my macro setting.

19. Doodle

I was SOOO excited when these arrived.  I have a slight obsession with writing utensils, especially colored ones.

Thank you jetpens.com.

17. Gifting

Thank you!! You know me well.

9. Studies

This is why I was not out taking photos on a Thursday afternoon/evening:

Yeah, that Machine Design textbook is also mine (unfortunately).

3. Dinner

Remember learning to make this in 7th grade Home-Ec class?  Yeah, that was 10 years ago, but my cooking skills haven't really improved since then.

 

  

  

I wonder how I'm going to handle preparing dinner in my host family's home.  Considering my German is terrible, it might be an interesting experience.

1. Mail

I nearly wet my pants when this arrived:

Don't ask me how many pictures I took of that stack of mail.
