so I finally got my very own Frenchie.

287/366 :: Thursday 15 October 2020
wishing I would've taken more time this fall to go out and take photos. it seems like October went by so quickly.

288/366 :: Friday 16 October 2020
​oops, I bought some more poetry books.

289/366 :: Saturday 17 October 2020
I love that this dog on my socks is wearing socks. also I didn't realize until my second batch of edits that it's a mirror image instead of being perfectly symmetrical.

290/366 :: Sunday 18 October 2020
I am always spilling everything on my shoes at work. depending on the job, it's been paint, bleach, coffee... pretty sure I spilled (part of) a caramel macchiato on these after taking this photo. I have a really cute pair of vintage floral Converse, but I'm too scared to wear them to work because I know that I'll spill something on them as soon as I do.

291/366 :: Monday 19 October 2020
​RGB.

292/366 :: Tuesday 20 October 2020
cold sunrise mornings.

279/366 :: Wednesday 7 October 2020
I am still surprised that I was able to keep this beautiful jade plant alive for almost a year now!

280/366 :: Thursday 8 October 2020
I know that a lot of people get annoyed about bunnies in their yards and gardens, but they make me so happy.

281/366 :: Friday 9 October 2020
hey, little fox.

282/366 :: Saturday 10 October 2020
​a year before at the Milwaukee County Zoo. I'm so happy that I turned my thirteen months in Milwaukee into a photo book to look through, as I do with all of the vacations I take. it was truly such a special time in my life and I really miss it.

283/366 :: Sunday 11 October 2020
​I thought that these might be daisies, but I'm thinking now that they're probably actually just weeds.

284/366 :: Monday 12 October 2020
rainy days and steadily changing leaves.

285/366 :: Tuesday 13 October 2020
​sunrise clouds.

272/366 :: Wednesday 30 September 2020
​a lovely postcard from Asia.

273/366 :: Thursday 1 October 2020
I thought this would be the last rose of the year, but it wasn't!

274/366 :: Friday 2 October 2020
so it turns out that these are probably weeds, but I think they're pretty.

275/366 :: Saturday 3 October 2020
​I love some good skeleton decor.

276/366 :: Sunday 4 October 2020
I still can't believe (every day) that I've kept this plant alive for a year.

277/366 :: Monday 5 October 2020
trying to read through as many books on my to-read list as I can. Nicola Killen's picture books are absolutely gorgeous, and Fredrik Backman's newest novel was great too!

278/366 :: Tuesday 6 October 2020
​oh, how I love the waves of Lake Michigan.

265/366 :: Wednesday 23 September 2020
I love seeing stamps from other countries.

266/366 :: Thursday 24 September 2020
​everything else that I ordered was leopard print.

267/366 :: Friday 25 September 2020
a very political-themed mail day.

268/366 :: Saturday 26 September 2020
George is my best friend.

269/366 :: Sunday 27 September 2020
easy reading.

270/366 :: Monday 28 September 2020
there aren't a lot of leaves in my yard to change colors, but we all know I'm not raking them anyway.

271/366 :: Tuesday 29 September 2020
new shoes! I don't want to wear them to work still because I know I will spill coffee on them.

258/366 :: Wednesday 16 September 2020
​I couldn't help myself when I saw this at my favorite antique mall in Door County. I later found out that it's actually not vintage, just retro, but I couldn't pass up that almost-dalahäst. plus I did kind of want another casserole in that size anyway.

259/366 :: Thursday 17 September 2020
it is so great to be working my way through my extra-long to-read list on Goodreads, even though I'm not currently teaching any preschool classes.

260/366 :: Friday 18 September 2020
​a crystal from Kirsten.

261/366 :: Saturday 19 September 2020
I'm a sucker for free things, most times. but most especially free books. I had yet to read Stargirl, and after I did, I reshelved both of these at a free little library in my dad's neighborhood.

262/366 :: Sunday 20 September 2020
​one last hibiscus.

263/366 :: Monday 21 September 2020
​tiny little skull.

264/366 :: Tuesday 22 September 2020
my most local state park is the one I've spent the least amount of time at, at least of all the ones I've been to. I'm sure it's a nice place, but the weather just hasn't been the greatest for exploring or I just haven't been in the right mindset whenever I've been there. maybe next time.

251/366 :: Wednesday 9 September 2020
still working my way through a chapter a week with Harry Potter and the Sacred Text. Vanessa and Casper and their guests and contributors have such wonderful insight.

252/366 :: Thursday 10 September 2020
​World Suicide Prevention Day 2020.

253/366 :: Friday 11 September 2020
my stepmom came back from Target with a couple boxes of these and gave one to me, and I have to say, they were deliciously addictive.

254/366 :: Saturday 12 September 2020
another book suggestion from my grandpa. last time was the very different In Cold Blood.

255/366 :: Sunday 13 September 2020
technically not my apple tree, but also technically not anyone's. the apples look better than they did last year.

256/366 :: Monday 14 September 2020
​the leaves start to change and the sky stays grey.

257/366 :: Tuesday 15 September 2020
​it's been years since I was last at Peninsula State Park, and yet it's still beautiful.

244/366 :: Wednesday 2 September 2020
well, I finally bought a bike, but I still haven't ridden it because it's a tiny bit too tall for me and I haven't ridden a bike in ten years so I'm a bit scared.

245/366 :: Thursday 3 September 2020
the best part of waking up early is getting to see a sunrise most mornings.

246/366 :: Friday 4 September 2020
​coffeehouse perks: end of the day scones.

247/366 :: Saturday 5 September 2020
on the day I bought my bike, I also finally got a state park sticker for this year!

248/366 :: Sunday 6 September 2020
let's just take a moment to appreciate the fact that these binders are filled with the handwriting of many people and I love lightly analyzing people's handwriting.

249/366 :: Monday 7 September 2020
I don't know what kind of flower this is, but I love that it has tiny flowers on its flower.

250/366 :: Tuesday 8 September 2020
​rainy days.

239/366 :: Wednesday 26 August 2020
I went to the library for the first time in five months on August 10th. this was the first new release that I got to read since this spring, and it was wonderful! I love the Green brothers.

240/366 :: Thursday 27 August 2020
yes, I know there is a way to turn this giant plant into more plants, but I'm just too lazy and don't really feel like dealing with soil.

241/366 :: Friday 28 August 2020
​I really miss them when they're gone.

242/366 :: Saturday 29 August 2020
does anyone else have a stack of masks in their house or is it just me?

243/366 :: Sunday 30 August 2020
​it's my color-coded life.

242/366 :: Monday 31 August 2020
this one is still my favorite, and I am still amazed with myself for keeping it alive.

243/366 :: Tuesday 1 September 2020
​and still we rise.

232/366 :: Wednesday 19 August 2020
I've been trying to only go grocery shopping every other week since March. it's frustrating because I end up running out of fresh produce, but I've found some other ways to get myself through the weeks.

233/366 :: Thursday 20 August 2020
​I am still amazed that this plant is still alive.

234/366 :: Friday 21 August 2020
​favorite.

235/366 :: Saturday 22 August 2020
this succulent always makes me smile, but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to keep one of these alive myself.

236/366 :: Sunday 23 August 2020
for a while, I was making smoothies for dinner nearly every night. but I got bored with that, and decided to make a salad with my second avocado in months and some other great vegetables (plus some strawberry slivers).

237/366 :: Monday 24 August 2020
​whoever decided to send tissue paper stars with Taylor Swift's new album is my hero.

238/366 :: Tuesday 25 August 2020
another early morning wake-up.

225/366 :: Wednesday 12 August 2020
​the first of the hibiscus flowers by my front door! I love these flowers so much.

226/366 :: Thursday 13 August 2020
this is actually the only fake plant I've ever owned, aside from some tissue paper flowers that I still have in my kitchen from a lifetime ago.

227/366 :: Friday 14 August 2020
​I take so many photos of these flowers because I know I'll miss them when they're gone.

228/366 :: Saturday 15 August 2020
sometimes I get to pretend she's my dog for a few hours.

229/366 :: Sunday 16 August 2020
and then a red one finally bloomed! these ones are definitely my favorite. it's a shame they only last a day.

230/366 :: Monday 17 August 2020
​I'm guessing that this was a sunrise.

231/366 :: Tuesday 18 August 2020
call me a child, but Annie's makes the best snacks.
