This chair sits in the corner of my living room. It's a feast of textures, from the nubby covering of the chair itself, the soft/shiny throw, the smocked pillow, the hairy furry pillow, and the smooshy fuzzy bear.

Photo A Day July 11--Letter
Many of the photos I've seen posted today are the person's initial. So, here's mine! M for me, M for my Mercury Mariner.
Yes, Mercury is now a part of history. Very sad!

Photo A Day--my favorite color
Always when asked this, I reply "blue." And generally it's true. But when I look around I see an awful lot of this color. My car? Kiwi green. My raincoat? Lime. My umbrella? Lime.
So I guess I'm not as monogamous with my color preferences as I thought I was.

Photo A Day--Big
A picture of my big old house. With all its big old problems! That window up there? It leaks, badly, whenever it rains. Of course, it seldom rains here, but it still needs to be fixed.
The trim is peeling (lousy paint job by incompetent contractor), the roof leaks, and the a/c needs replacement.

Photo A Day July 8--Lunch
Today was a "summer play day" at my daughter's, complete with an inflated water slide and of course a sumptuous lunch! Four of us could share this same picture...

Photo A Day July 7--Garden
Since my "garden" is pretty much overgrown and/or just dead, it was a challenge finding something to take a picture of out there.
In hoping to remediate t he dryness and desiccation, I turned on the sprinkler--and voila, my photo!

Photo A Day, July 6--Chairs
I keep the "extra" chairs lined up next to the wall in the dining room, since the table currently only has one leaf in it. All the chairs are different from each other; the ladderback chair was refinished by Bob, ages ago. It originally had a black Spanish oak finish, to match our wrought iron-based table. The set was bought in 1968, just in time for Thanksgiving!
