The 366 Project: April

 

The past four weeks have been busy and it doesn't look like the next two weeks will be any different. I honestly don't know why the end of the school year always has to be so chaotic and this year seems to be worse than all the other years. Two more weeks and then this school year will be over and I will also have some news for you then.

For now, here are the 30 pictures for April, one for each day:


My favorite photo of this month was the one of the red poppies. They are growing in abundance in my garden and some of them have been growing through the fence. Due to some pretty strong winds a few of them toppled over, and in order for them not to be trampled down by people and dogs on the sidewalk I brought them in and put them in a vase. I did not the "put in boiling water for 10 seconds" or scorch them, fully aware that their vaselife is extremely short (just one day). I still prefer them out there, but I wanted to give these doomed poppies one more brief shot on life.

In our local independent bookstore I found this beautiful journal. It has lined and very smooth paper, I'm sure it will be lovely to write in it. Journals are something I can hardly pass by.

I will try and come around visiting you, but it may take a while. As soon as the chaos will have subsided, I will have more time. At least that is what I hope.
