134. May 15th

Hubs and a friend were trying to recreate a coffee drink at a local shop. They used waaay too much cinnamon, and the thing tasted very bitter and gross.

133. May 14th

The squirt and I watched the shuttle launch today. I'm sad that this was one of the last launches ever.


132. May 13th

Froggy butt

131. May 12th

Our new faucet. I'm so stoked that we can now fill tall containers with water.

130. May 11th

Thyme

129. May 10th

What a brussels sprout plant is supposed to look like.

128. May 9th

Hubs made me dinner for Mother's Day. This isn't the best shot of the steaks - a little blurry and the steak being seasoned is in the shadows. However, I like how the pepper falling from the grinder is visible.

127. May 8th

We saw the hugest jasmine bush today. It was growing up a light pole. Tyler has almost outgrown the bjorn, so he now goes for walks in the backpack carrier.


126. May 7th

I went pottery painting this evening with some friends. Here are some of the supplies that we used.

125. May 6th

Teething with a vengeance. We now feel two on the bottom gum, and one on the top. We've started freezing damp cloths for him to suck on.

124. May 5th

Happy Cinco de Mayo! We didn't do anything festive today. Although, the squirt is up to 3 meals of solid food now.

123. May 4th

We have a tooth.

122. May 3rd

I saw an injured butterfly in our driveway this morning. I hope it got away safely.

121. May 2nd

Yet another kitty picture. I love her soft furry belly. I named her Sienna because of the color of her fur there.

120. May 1st

The jasmine is really in bloom now. Its smell reminds me of spring.

119. April 30th

Extremely shallow d.o.p.

118. April 29th

Here are the cupcakes. Key lime coconut flavor. The icing came out a little too soft for my taste. They didn't quite survive the car ride.

117. April 28th

I'm using these key limes for some cupcakes. I'll post a picture of how they turn out.

116. April 27th

This is one of the only pictures I took today. It was dinner - turkey and tabouli wrap.

115. April 26th

I'm baking a cake that uses Lyle's Golden Syrup. It's a British thing. It has a pretty amber color, and tastes like a cross between honey and molasses.

114. April 25th

Playing with some bowls. We like to put them on his head so that it looks like he's wearing a yarmulke ("yamaka").

113. April 24th

Jasmine is in bloom. It's growing around a lot of mailboxes in our neighborhood.


112. April 23rd

This is our pool thermometer. Because we're wimpy Floridians, we probably won't get in the pool until the temperature reaches 80 degrees.



Almost there.

111. April 22nd

Happy Earth Day!

110. April 21st

The succulent on our back porch is flowering. We inherited this from the previous owners. I have no idea what plant it is.


109. April 20th

The squirt hangs out with me when I teach lessons. He usually pays attention for about half the lesson, and then he starts fussing.

108. April 19th

Sienna lounging on our dining room table. She doesn't usually climb up onto tables and counters.

107. April 18th

Pork lo mein...

106. April 17th

Here are a few more pictures of the stage lighting for the concert tonight. As our conductor said, "This is the closest some of us will ever get to being in a rock concert." Since most of us are classical musicians, I'd say he was right.


105. April 16th

I'm playing a concert with the philharmonic that has an elaborate lighting program. Here is some of the lighting effects, taken with my phone.

104. April 15th

Tax Day! Here is a rare photograph of me. I was scarfing some mac n cheese before heading to an evening rehearsal.

103. April 14th

A Chihuly-inspired work of art, courtesy of the students at a local middle school.

102. April 13th

Some of my duck collection. I got most of them from the schools where I work. There's one for most major holidays.

101. April 12th

A distant view of the Hogwarts castle at Universal. It's not supposed to open until June. I can't wait!

100. April 11th

Another picture from the garden festival.

99. April 10th


Went to a garden festival that was nearby. Lots of foliage, ways to live green, food, and puppies!

98. April 9th

Here are some food purees we've made. We freeze them in an silicone ice cube tray. Each cube is 1 oz., which makes measuring easy. Can you guess the flavors?

97. April 8th

A slight cheat - I took this picture on April 9th. The pollen count has been through the roof lately. This is the hood of my car. The yellow spots are pollen. Rain is in the forecast for today, so maybe some of the pollen will wash away, and I will be able to breathe through my nose again.

96. April 7th

I love watching my cat sun in the window.
