10 on 10 August 2012

I really love participating in the 10 on 10. To find out more about the project you can go here.

I took 10 pictures over the course of 10 hours one hour apart yesterday the 10th (okay 11). The goal is to find beauty in my everyday life.  The morning started out very unsettling.  My dog Harley has slipped and injured his leg the day before. When he got up yesterday morning he couldn't walk. He seemed to be suffering and he has tons of tumors... and it just didn't seem good

(don't worry he is doing better I know the last picture could throw you off).

It was raining out so it seemed like a good day to stay in a let him rest up. I stepped out and got my hair cut and when I got back it was sunny! But then it got cloudy out again.

Harley follows me around the house the entire day. If I go in the kids room he follows me, every trip to the bathroom he follows me. All day he is like my shadow.  I could see the pain in his eyes as he wanted so bad to be by my side.  Since it was raining out and seemed like a lazy day I let the boys play some games and basically do whatever they wanted as I sat next to Harley and spun yarn.  I haven't spun yarn in a while so I was so happy to have an excuse to just sit and spin.  Harley slept, watched, slept, watched.

First I finished up a skein of blue alpaca.  Brady was so excited I finally finished he yarn. He as been begging me to make him a blue alpaca toy. So hopefully I be knitting in a few days. Then I moved on to some merino roving I picked up at the Maryland Sheep & Wool Festival. I made two bobbins of singles and then plied them together.  Tiny has requested I knit him a sheep toy with this yarn.

By the end of the day Harley seemed much better. He could even go up and down the stairs to go out to the bathroom. Hooray!  He is still a little slow today, but doesn't seem to be in pain so that is a very good thing. I think he is just a little sore.  He always sleeps under his blanket. He puts it on himself. It always makes me laugh. So the last picture is a good sign he his feeling himself under his blanket comfy cozy.

Well that was my day. Boring as it was I am glad we are all healthy.

I am linking up with Rebekah's Ten on Ten.  I have not done this before, but my sister has and I was very excited to try it out.  I really enjoy doing this. Are you ready for our exciting day?! Don't be too excited it was a very dull day. But I'll take dull any day!  Actually I prefer it.  So I took a picture every hour for ten hours starting at 8:00.

8:00

Hey that's my bed!

9:00 

Tiny at summer camp.  Brady likes to walk him in and then give him a hug and tell him to have a fun day.  It is too cute. After we dropped off Tiny we headed to the grocery store and I let Brady pick out a few special treats.

10:00

work, work, work

Brady enjoying his special treat from the grocery store.

12:00 

Pick up Tiny from Summer Camp. He made a crab. He showed it to me and said, "there's a cloud, a crab, two eyes, the ocean and sand."  Too cute. He loves summer camp so much.

1:00

Brady was at school so Tiny was helping himself to Brady's special treat. But Tiny was nice enough to put some in a bowl and put them on the couch so Brady could have some when he got home.

Photo shoot of my flowers from Debbie!!! I needed to get some shots of them for this weeks SHS.  I had a great time hanging out with my blogging friend Debbie the other day. She brought me flowers and this adorable vase.  Brady added a few of his own flowers.  Thanks Debbie.

ps- they looked much nicer when she gave them to me, I slacked in caring for them.

So that was it. That was my ten. But just in case you are wondering what we did the rest of the day....

Mini Golf

It was our first time playing mini golf. Tiny got a hole in one! He has mad skills.

Mini Golf was a huge success.

The sunset was looking so nice.  So we drove over to the airport to see if we could spot some planes and watch the sun finish setting.

Freddy spotted an airplane high in the sky.

I hope it is okay that I added some extra pictures to my ten on ten. I really did enjoy this and I am looking forward to next month.
