70/365 1st day of spring break
First day of spring break and the video games hold Alex and Liam captive! Alex's character is pretty life-like except for that mark across his nose. Amazing.

69/365 Bill cooks
Bill made chili tonight so that I could go capture some sunburst shots! I didn't like any of the photos I snapped except this one of the cook!

68/365 Ash Wednesday
This year, I am entering Lent more mindful than in previous years. I attribute this, in part, to this 365 blog, and the blogs and websites of others, such as A Holy Experience, (in)courage, A Minute Captured, and many more. My heart is full of thanksgiving for everything these days, down to the smallest detail. Thank you, Jesus.
Photo: Hmmm...should've closed my aperture a bit so that Alex would be in focus too. Not too bad though for a night shot without a tripod. f/1.8, 1/40s, ISO 3200

67/365 Spring planting
So many plants, so little space. Sigh... The most difficult part of our community garden plot is deciding what to plant! I made a plan, and we have planted radish and lettuce seeds so far. Today I went to the nursey to buy onions and saw so many other plants that I want to try in my 100 square feet of garden! Patience.

66/365 Redbud
Every spring, when the redbud trees bloom, I'm reminded of my grandmother, Tillie (Mamama, to me), who enjoyed these trees so much. Some wonderful, fuzzy, warm feelings!

64/365 Community Garden
Today many people from the community around our church, along with many of our parishioners, constructed a community garden on an unused portion of the church campus! We had 75-80 folk, including some who traveled 5 + hours to work with us, working tirelessly from 8 am until after 2 pm. Plus, there were so many who provided lunch and childcare for all of us. So much hard work and planning preceded the actual building of the 20 beds! 10 of the plots have been contracted to folk in the neighborhood and 10 are contracted to parishioners. Our family has one of the beds! As part of the agreement, each plot owner has agreed to give 10% of their yield to a local food bank. In this same area there are 8 dedicated beds specifically for the food bank, and there has already been a couple of harvests! This is such an exciting project! There are already plans for 20 more beds and there is a waiting list!
Photo: You might ask why they are carrying a wheelbarrow; I certainly did! The tire was flat, and would not stay inflated. Alex, however, took the opportunity to work on his physique!

63/365 Irish Brews
Today Bill and I went to an authentic Irish pub for lunch (except we weren't in Ireland :0), where he had a pint of Guinness and I had a pint of Harp. We also shared a bowl of Pub Curry with chicken. Yummmm...
Photo: f/6.3, 1/40s, ISO 6400 I really like the way this shot turned out except I wish I had thought to remove the coasters. Black Butte Porter is a great ale from Oregon though.

61/365 Good Books
My bedside table is a lot less cluttered since Kindle came into my life about a year ago. Are you reading any good books? Currently, I am reading 1000 Gifts by Ann Voskamp and Sink Reflections by Marla Cilley. Usually, I'm reading some fiction too, but blogging seems to be taking more of my time! lol :0)

60/365 Thinkin' Green
March is here and I'm thinkin' green! When we made our trip to Ireland in 2002, we brought back just a few momentos in addition to scads of photos: a miniature High Cross made from peat, Waterford crystal, and Royal Tara bone china.
