22/365 :: Tuesday 22 January 2019 reading my way through the year already (and watching Late Night with Seth Meyers, of course). 23/365 :: Wednesday 23 January 2019 as the sun sets. 24/365 :: Thursday 24 January 2019 this week's library stack. 25/365 :: Friday 25 January 2019 I have left many a note in library books, sometimes accidentally whatever I'm using as a bookmark, but this was the first time that I found a bookcover and a few pages tucked into the dustjacket of a book. seeing this cover brings me back to seventh grade. 26/365 :: Saturday 26 January 2019 frozen sunrise. 27/365 :: Sunday 27 January 2019 this is called the wreath fell off my door (Command strips don't usually fail me) and I don't own nails and haven't remembered to get them because I've only been to Target once this month. maybe someday I'll remember and it'll not be hanging in my kitchen anymore. 28/365 :: Monday 28 January 2019
when I used to live in a house, my bedroom window would get these beautiful crystals on it in the cold. I've missed that, but I got just a few this morning durning our cold and snow and wind, and that made me smile.

15/365 :: Tuesday 15 January 2019 I hung my dreamcatcher up after nearly five years of living in a box. it won a blue ribbon at the fair one summer... but will it work? that I don't know. 16/365 :: Wednesday 16 January 2019 outgoing mail. happy colors and loving words. 17/365 :: Thursday 17 January 2019 the carrots in the sugar skull Pyrex might look like Halloween, but there's winter outside. 18/365 :: Friday 18 January 2019 the snow is falling again. 19/365 :: Saturday 19 January 2019 because I can't remember how small it was when I brought it home. 20/365 :: Sunday 20 January 2019 a day shy of a two-year streak (it's still continuing) means that it was a day shy of two years since I returned from a trip to Ecuador. 21/365 :: Monday 21 January 2019
the sun will always rise. 8/365 :: Tuesday 8 January 2019 another week, another stack of books from the library. 9/365 :: Wednesday 9 January 2019 it turns out that you really do need to do the toothpick check even if they look cooked on the outside. (also, I managed to leave my cupcake potholders in a box at my grandparents' house on Christmas.) 10/365 :: Thursday 10 January 2019 they truly don't make them the way they used to. I've had these for six and a half years, but some of the ones I've had since then have already fallen more apart. 11/365 :: Friday 11 January 2019 maybe I'll return your quarters. maybe not. (but probably.) 12/365 :: Saturday 12 January 2019 if the library doesn't securely attach the dust jacket, I will take it off when I'm reading it. 13/365 :: Sunday 13 January 2019 sunrise reflection. 14/365 :: Monday 14 January 2019
I put the dust jacket back on to take this book with me to a coffeehouse in Green Bay because I try to not have strangers talking to me in public. does it work? not always. I never made it out of Wisconsin, but I saw some new places anyway

1/365 :: Tuesday 1 January 2019 starting the year off right with two new books. 2/365 :: Wednesday 2 January 2019 maybe we should just call this series of daily photos "the view from Teresa's windows." (I don't even remember why I took this one.) 3/365 :: Thursday 3 January 2019 I fixed it. but friendly reminder to not touch things that don't belong to you. 4/365 :: Friday 4 January 2019 I have been wearing these for more than three years now. I treat my car and my shoes the same - just keep using them until they literally fall apart. 5/365 :: Saturday 5 January 2019 feather clouds. because the sky is blue and the sun was out for a few days in a row! 6/365 :: Sunday 6 January 2019 one of my favorite places. 7/365 :: Monday 7 January 2019
winter in Door County. snow and rain because who cares about seasons anymore? 358/365 :: Monday 24 December 2018 Christmas Eve sunrise and a dusting of snow. 359/365 :: Tuesday 25 December 2018 Christmas on Sand Bay. 360/365 :: Wednesday 26 December 2018 I just love watching the sky, and I love that I have this nice viewpoint. 361/365 :: Thursday 27 December 2018 collaged Swedish matches. so adorable. 362/365 :: Friday 28 December 2018 the weather has been weird, and I liked these extra sparkle raindrops on the trees, but apparently my lens didn't want to focus on anything that day. 363/365 :: Saturday 29 December 2018 the twenty-ninth is for dressing up and dressing up usually includes Frye boots. 364/365 :: Sunday 30 December 2018 three years in my happy home. 365/365 :: Monday 31 December 2018
