day 6... 5pm & day 7...something you wore

day 6...5pm 

 

 At 5 PM it is time to feed the dogs. Max starts reminding me at 4:30, every few minutes he will poke my leg with his nose until I feed him. His dog food is made from fish and sweet potatoes. Dog food never smells good but his smell particularly bad.

day 7... something you wore

  

Today I wore my new red pants. I wasn't sure about buying red pants but I keep seeing them in magazines, the newspaper and television and they always looked cute. I decided to give them a try. 

day 6... 5pm

opps. Today at 5 pm I was not able to take a photo. I was out to dinner with Patrick and someone from his work. Tomorrow I will post a 5pm picture and my day 6 photo.

day 5... smile

I prefer to not take photos of myself. Try as I may to get a good shot of Max smiling I just could not get the darn dog to cooperate. I was stuck with only myself here to smile for the camera.

day 4 ... bedside

 My bedside table and the surrounding mess. I decided to take this photo as things usually are. I did not tidy the area this morning before I took this photo I only made my bed. We still need to buy new night tables. These small IKEA nightstands were bought for our apartment when we first came to Texas. There is room and need for a larger table with hidden storage. The books I am currently reading or am about to read, my kindle, and tablet live here as well as all of the chargers you need for the gadgets in your life ( laptop, kindle, tablet, cell phone). I would love to find a night table that had a charging station built into the drawer or cabinet so that the messy web of cords would be hidden.

day 3 ... neighborhood

 

I have said it before and I will gladly say it again. I love our neighborhood. It took me six months to find a house, I love it and the neighborhood it is in. It is a planned community in its infancy. Once completed it will have 900 acres of water way and 60 miles of trails among its many amenities. The neighborhood is dotted with these magnificent old growth Live Oaks. This one is on a small peninsula in the middle of one of the lakes that we walk past on our evening walks.

day 2... fruit

 One of the things I have enjoyed about Houston is that you can grow things year round. I planted this tomato plant in October and have been enjoying it's fruit all winter. Apparently someone else has been too.... the bottom tomato has a bite taken out of it. (I think Sophie did it... silly dog.)

day 1... up

Taken at the fair grounds of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo .
