Here are the prompts for January's photos. I'm going to try to catch up on posting the December ones. Honest, I am!

Photo A Day Nov. 27--Tree
The Italian cypress at the corner of the lot. It's somewhat the worse for wear after last year's windstorm and a few earthquakes--but I find it rather endearingly scruffy, rather than perfect!
Photo A Day Nov. 30--on the wall
One of the "feather tree" quilts that I put up every year. Antique buttons courtesy of my mom's button box.

A nice assortment of fat quarters, providing lots and lots of inspiration...

The day I decided to bake myself some cinnamon rolls, calories be damned!

These "sorta work" but not really. Well, the old one might still work for playing VHS tapes...but there's a tape stuck in its drawer!
Photo A Day Nov. 7--Reflection
My voter badge, in the mirror! I got a little twisted around on the prompts this month, but I think it's straightened out now. I hope!

Photo A Day Oct. 7--Light
The wall fixture in my dining room--copper and stained glass crafted by James Mattson. The trees carry the theme from a Bachelder tile set into the fireplace. At one time, this house had a magnificent 150-year-old oak tree in the back--sadly, it came down in a storm in 2005.

Photo A Day Oct. 6--I'm Thankful for...
My roses! Even with minimal attention, they continue to bloom, and remind me that I don't have to micromanage everything to get it to turn out okay!

"I have a little shadow who goes in and out with me,
And what can be the use of him is more than I can see."

Photo A Day Sept. 28--A Good Thing
Salad for lunch. Nice to be back in the land of recognizable lettuce and chunky blue cheese dressing!
Not that I didn't enjoy the salads in France, but after a while it became a tossup whether the greenery was going to eat me before I could eat it.
