New foods.

Since the girls and I are leaning into veganism, I pick out a few new foods each time I go to Whole Foods.  Today we had our first passion fruit.  I thought it was delicious while Jordan thought it was a little too tart.  Maddie didn't even try it after seeing the snotty-fish-egg-looking fruit.   Maybe I didn't let it ripen enough - we'll certainly buy more of these!

Early morning shopping.

This is what the peppers look like at 8:15 on Sunday morning.

Maddie wanted to take some photos so I gave her my DSLR (after setting white balance and ISO) and sent her off.  Here is one of several great pictures she came back to show me.  She has a great eye at the ripe old age of 12. 

No Loud Music.

This sign is in an older neighborhood near where we do some of our thrift shopping.

Just need a Coke

and breakfast is ready. 

There is a lot of beauty on campus.

Handmade.

Burning our handmade candles from the festival last Saturday.

Dandelion.

I took lots of photos for my week in the life project, but didn't like any of them enough to use here.  Maddie decided to try her hand and this is one of two great shots she took.

Love this place, too. 46/365

Stopped at Whole Foods tonight to get bagels for the teachers' breakfast in the morning. The kids are off school tomorrow, but the teachers have to work. I love the floral department at Whole Foods! And the produce department! And the bakery! This is another of Maddie's photos. I think she was trying to get creative with the angle. I do like the pink hue of these hydrangeas. I also like the pussy willow in the background.

Play Rehearsal. 43/365

Maddie and I went to Jordan's school play rehearsal today so I could help with costume alterations. This proved to be better than expected because we got a sneak peek of the play and were able to photograph some backstage antics. This photo was taken by Maddie of Jordan peeking through the curtain after rehearsal ended.

We're trying to get so much done before Valentine parties that I didn't take any pictures today, but Maddie grabbed the camera out of my purse when we were at the post office. She's only four feet tall so she has a different prospective than I have. Here I am mailing Valentine and Ebay goodies. Because I didn't send much for Christmas, I'm trying to make up for it at Valentine's Day. I love the kiosk at the post office!!
