57. Samstag

On Saturday I had a beautiful day.  We went to the flea market where I found some very interesting Nazi propaganda from 1935, and a cute new scarf.  We then went to a Wine & Cheese festival which was SUPER cool, and VERY tasty.  Then we went to Prater, a huge park here in Vienna.  We wandered around there for a while and played on some fun playground equipment (yeah, we are five).  For dinner we ate at a place called Einstein's.  It is my new favorite restaurant, because when you ask for a menu auf English they give you an iPod touch with pictures of all the food.  Sehr toll!  I had bierbeischnitzel: breaded turkey stuffed with cheese, peppers, and onions.  It was tasty.

Anyway, this entire day I didn't have either of my cameras.  I could have had some awesome pictures of the flea market, Prater, and the wine and cheese festival, but alas.  I was super tired when I got home so I just took pictures of my room.  This whole process took about thirty seconds, as evidenced by these completely ridiculous photographs.

Better luck next time.

If I weren't so lazy, I would make these photos even smaller than they are.

48. Teacups

I have officially broken out of my old comfort zone of food photos.  Unfortunately, I am quickly getting stuck in another: flowers.  But, as I've mentioned before, I just love my mom's daffodils.

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.

22. Technology

I would say my life is exponentially better since we installed a dishwasher that actually works in our house.

21. Homegrown

My mom plants daffodils. That's her thing. I wish I had taken these earlier in the day with better lighting. They really were lovely.

I love spring.

10. Blue

I have a love/hate relationship with the color blue. Hate blue weddings.  Love blue skies.  Hate blue dresses.  Love blue ties.

After taking 17 pictures of my recycling bin, I think blue is a good color choice for it.

The whole rhyming thing above was unintentional.

6. Laundry

The laundry rod.  My favorite feature of my parent's laundry room.  When I was younger clothes would accumulate on that thing until you could hardly fit another wire hanger it.  It was my job to go through and sort the clothes, taking them to whomever they belonged.  Now with less people at home, it doesn't get too crowded.  Whenever I do laundry somewhere without a hanging rod, I miss this one.

However, even with the rod, I don't love doing laundry.

P.S. My second favorite feature of the laundry room: the washer and dryer sing when they are finished.
