Just a minute of my time...

Team up Thursday

Spring....

Okay what an irony that today is a Spring themed team up and the calendar says spring yet it is snowing outside?

The first sure sign of spring in our yard is the crocuses that come up faithfully year after year and the tulips that were planted last fall begin to shoot up through the ground. I actually get excited when I see them, they verify that it really is spring! Even with the snow on the ground!

Jill can't wait to get outdoors and enjoy the beautiful weather that spring has to offer and I think her picture clearly shows one of the advantages of the warmer temperatures!

Music...

This weeks theme was Music and I couldn't wait to capture Zach in his"element" with music as he played his guitar. He took lessons years ago and now he just teaches himself. Pretty amazing hearing some of the songs coming out of his bedroom as he plays.  

Poor Jill was running without an ipod after hers was stolen! Running without an ipod sometimes is a crime in itself! Thank goodness her daughter Alyssa got her a new one! Too sweet!

Everyday Beauty

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and that's why I just love this weeks team up!

While I've had my fair share of snow this year I love the look of it as it covers the trees and ground, it is one of the beauties of winter and of course with Jill's team up it sure is another beauty-Blue skies. Sunshine. Running outside. New running shoes. Life doesn't get much better.

 The opportunity to run and run outdoors again is a beauty to behold for us runners!

Team up Thursday

We are back!  Jill and I took some time off, but here we are and I'm excited with our start!

This week we followed Mental Inventories prompt of BLUE and I love what we came up with!

I love the detail that Jill captured with her blue jeans and oh my was the sun and blue sky a refreshing change to the forecast we've been having.

Jill and I are at it again with Team Up Thursday.  

This weeks photo theme was FUN and I love how Jill captured the fun with her son!  My picture is of my girlfriends daughter during homecoming pictures, it makes me smile every time I look at it and see how much fun she was having!

Team up Thursday

With all our running Jill and I have missed a few weeks doing our team up Thursday.  This week we decided to get back into it and what a perfect week to do so when the theme from Mental Inventory is Fall and again we both think of fall the same way, our favorite time of the year!

 

 

Team up Thursday

This week the theme for Team up Thursday is small...

When thinking of this weeks theme I was wanted to do something of a comparison and then I remembered the bracelet I just got from Etsy that has all my favorite books of 2010 attached to it and thought it would be a great way to emphasize the theme of small next to the actual books they represent.  Jill chose to represent small in a different way... a small, totally sweet act of kindness from her son Alec who made the chocolate chip cookies!  Yum!

 

 Be sure to check out Jill's blog and more team up photos at the Mental Inventory blog.

With only 8 days until the marathon I'm off to get my run in!

Team up Thursday

Jill and I are back at it again for team up thursday.  As we follow along with the prompts from Mental Inventory.  

This weeks prompt was WORK

I chose to go to the place I occasionally work.  The business that my husband owns and runs and the equipment that fills the lot.  Jill chose what represents the work she has done all her life, caring for children.  I love how the same theme can be so opposite!

 

 

Team up Thursday

Well finally I got my camera back and Jill and I are back at it!  We decided we are going to follow along with the Mental Inventory prompts, and this weeks was selective focus.  Jill took this adorable picture of her daughter while I went over to the farm up the hill and took some pictures at the end of the day.  I'm so thrilled to be back to being creative with my camera again!

 

When I got my camera back I couldn't wait to take some pictures.  I decided to go to the farm up the road.  It was part of my Learn something new everyday class with Shimelle that prompted me to go there.... I learned about patience yesterday, and who doesn't have more patience than a farmer.

He was the cutest, sweetest man and when I asked to take pictures he smiled and said of course you can, as long as you don't take any of me.  I told him I would love to take some pictures of him also and wished I would have just snapped a few, but he waved his hand and went back to work. I think I'm going back there again in the next few days and going to take pictures of him, if he will let me...

Team up Thursday

So we took a few weeks off with vacations and all, but Jill and I are back with our team up thursday. This week we did "me time"  I love how this week our pictures are total opposites.  One of kicking back and enjoying some wine and the other of getting out and running, both of which I enjoy doing.
