This week's Macro Monday theme was Two and it couldn't be any type of flower or insect. I'm finding sewing supplies to be great content for macro pictures. These two spools are in an old sewing box I received many years ago. The old spools have so much more character than the new ones.<br />

Well, I certainly am not keeping up with a photo a day! But I am keeping up with the Macro Monday challenge this year. It has recently changed its rules from two photos a week to one. I'm good with that change! Instead of trying to catch up on a photo a day I am just going to post my missing <br />

Last Wednesday Gertie lost her battle to cancer. Eight months ago we were told to take her home and make her as comfortable as possible. We didn't expect her to last as long as she did. She was a special girl and she is deeply missed.

Lazy shot, holding the books on my lap while taking the picture with my phone. It's what happens when it's late and I still want to get a picture. :)<br />
<br />
Anyway...<a href="http://pernillesripp.com/" target="_blank">Pernille Ripp</a> writes my new favorite blog. It's my first place to turn when I'm looking for a book recommendation. I've used it for finding books for <a href="http://pernillesripp.com/2015/11/15/great-picture-books-to-use-for-notice-and-note-all-signposts/" target="_blank">signposts</a> and this is what I have so far for <a href="http://pernillesripp.com/2015/10/03/great-picture-books-to-teach-theme/" target="_blank">theme</a>, with more on the way. So far my favorite book in this pile is Chopsticks. It make me laugh out loud and I can't wait to share it with my fourth and fifth graders.Nedrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17478804456508636392noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5496904630318302569.post-12244251672345710872016-01-23T11:38:00.001-05:002016-01-23T11:38:17.704-05:00Jan 23 Giving Blood<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrhaHC4AESH7HcO_QbIzkHJmsZhwnZXTBySFZBPV5vD36syhlwlTRyJMwwF2fXNDQYfskaPbQiJNEi8OIrp-CwEH8PbJ-ZY3E8_nLAVGahyphenhyphenUULjJh3meoD9dsVf-PvekmIZN8j6poIl4PH/s640/blogger-image--1801975246.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrhaHC4AESH7HcO_QbIzkHJmsZhwnZXTBySFZBPV5vD36syhlwlTRyJMwwF2fXNDQYfskaPbQiJNEi8OIrp-CwEH8PbJ-ZY3E8_nLAVGahyphenhyphenUULjJh3meoD9dsVf-PvekmIZN8j6poIl4PH/s640/blogger-image--1801975246.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I used to be a regular blood donor and then quit because my iron count was always a bit low.

Today as I went to shut doors around the house, to keep our dog out of them when we're not home, I saw this Cardinal sitting in the lilac tree right outside the window. I love cardinals and have such a hard time getting photos of them, they are so camera shy. I was ready to walk out the door but I set my school bags down and pulled out my phone and took a few shots. Considering they are from a distance and through a window I'm ok with the quality.<br />

Yesterday I think I saw an eagle on my way to work. But it was on a road where there was no was place to pull over and watch. I will keep my eye open for another sighting. </div>

This was yesterday's shots for Macro Monday-Vegetables. I stopped by the grocery store on Sunday and picked up a few things just to photograph. Here's a <a href="https://flic.kr/s/aHsksNQCLm" target="_blank">link</a> to the whole folder.<br />
Here are the two shots I submitted-there were many submissions for garlic, peppers and mushrooms so I used a shot of a tomatillo and eggplant.<br />

Today we headed out to an antique show in Syracuse, followed by lunch and then a stop at 315 Brewery in Warners. I love the beer there and it was great to see it busy although too busy for my taste. A few quick pictures from my phone while trying to stay out of the way of other people.Nedrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17478804456508636392noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5496904630318302569.post-60593889824166372982016-01-16T20:51:00.000-05:002016-01-16T20:59:16.136-05:00January 15-Old Shirts<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnvgvHkSSYelMspLG0Vyojfk1u_LMu0x5z34aIvbGoEgFRXrXERXzxodYscMyA3OvgUDiHb2ctFJmZvXvVIXrvxf1xMkcOP4qPGDs6Nn8Y4sjO2vfQcbcZfyfsskKC2j0elWTFtrVEEdBw/s640/blogger-image-1105976378.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="146" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnvgvHkSSYelMspLG0Vyojfk1u_LMu0x5z34aIvbGoEgFRXrXERXzxodYscMyA3OvgUDiHb2ctFJmZvXvVIXrvxf1xMkcOP4qPGDs6Nn8Y4sjO2vfQcbcZfyfsskKC2j0elWTFtrVEEdBw/s400/blogger-image-1105976378.jpg" width="400" /></a>Way back in the days of teaching first grade I had a 100 Book Club. If my students read 100 books (advanced readers could count each chapter as a book) they could draw a t-shirt design about reading. My husband would be the judge and then clean the design up good enough so he could screen print it for me. Parents would pay for the cheapest shirts I could find, I would help my husband with the screen printing, and students would receive their shirts the last week of school. I usually had about 99% participation rate. If students were close I'd fudge it so they got a shirt but there was usually one student that rarely read. I felt bad but that student didn't get the shirt. Anyway, my copy of the shirts have been sitting in a closet. I decided to hang them on the back of the chairs in in my classroom. I'm not sure how this will work but we'll give it a try. Now I'm contemplating letting my students design a shirt, I have some pretty artistic 3rd-5th graders, having my husband select a winner once again and printing shirts just to communicate a positive message about reading with no competition. I guess I better check with my husband first to see if he's interested in helping out again. :)<br />
<br />
In hindsight I wish I had had the student with the winning design sign my shirt. These kids have all graduated from high school my now.<br />

Well, it was another hyped up storm-10-18 inches of snow forecasted and we ended up with 4 at the most. I know those lake effect storms are hard to predict... I think all the schools in the area were closed. So, while my husband was out snow blowing I used my 50 year old cookbook, yes I'm dating myself, and made some unhealthy but easy and tasty cinnamon rolls. Our aging and sick dog is getting very picky about what she'll eat and she likes these so she's had several. I posted this picture on Facebook and was surprised at how many other people have this cookbook too. It was a good day to be home, I was able to FaceTime with an insurance adjuster and get our tree claim taken care of very efficiently. </div>

Today when we woke up we looked out the window and were greeted with the sight below. I think this is the third tree that has landed on our property but the first one to cause real damage. The neighbor's insurance won't cover it since it's an act of nature. There's only one tree left, I wish they'd take it down because it's the largest and could land on our cars.<br />
<br />
The birds and squirrels are not going to be happy losing a favorite perch plus for the moment some of the feeders are a little hard to reach.<br />

This will be my 8th year involved in The Ride and this one is a special ride because it will mark the 20th anniversary. I rode my first year, got hurt and couldn't ride so became a volunteer the second year and have stayed a volunteer ever since. I'm sure it will come as no surprise that I started out as a volunteer photographer. The next step was joining the family committee and concentrating my photography on family members and events. I've loved it. Last year after The Ride my son was a rider in the Ride of Hope to Washington DC and my husband was his team's sag driver. That event touched my husband and he came home determined to do The Ride this year and wants me to ride with him. So..... that's what I'll be doing this year. I'll still be doing photography, just not on the day of the ride.<br />

I took a few pictures at the meeting. This one is special. Twenty years ago when seven men rode their bikes to Washington DC for the first time they were met by a local teacher and some of his students. They sang a song when the riders got there. Tonight that teacher happened to stop by to say hello to Dick Jordan, one of those seven original riders. It was a touching moment.<br />

I am a keeper of buttons and have started a second jar to store them. Before I toss a piece of clothing I remove and keep the buttons. I have a quite a few from my kids' old clothes that are fun to look at. This face button was on my dress as a little girl. </div>

This week's Macro Monday theme is buttons. I decided to take a few shots of buttons with my iPhone and my macro Olloclip. The buttons are on a Christmas sweatshirt and I took the pictures while sitting under a light on the couch. No special set up and no editing. One thing I need to look into is a adapter to hook my phone up on my little bendable tripod, of course the name of the tripod escapes me at the moment.Nedrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17478804456508636392noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5496904630318302569.post-59041943864600782432016-01-09T00:12:00.001-05:002016-01-09T00:12:10.963-05:00January 8 New Brewery<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPVJ-7LgZVW69c1FjtwN4BqKQSWR1BDaqWdKd26fxHsvm72Qy59fZQqTJ66CEhKfjFQBvpXdngwMNUPDLeEDskYbimnbbcWxb4KAJWZ_w2muCOnV39YJy0CnuT_IBvyGCWuzhYvRxpomU2/s640/blogger-image-686230955.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPVJ-7LgZVW69c1FjtwN4BqKQSWR1BDaqWdKd26fxHsvm72Qy59fZQqTJ66CEhKfjFQBvpXdngwMNUPDLeEDskYbimnbbcWxb4KAJWZ_w2muCOnV39YJy0CnuT_IBvyGCWuzhYvRxpomU2/s640/blogger-image-686230955.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Exciting times for our area, our first farm brewery opened up.

I wasn't ready to bring home a growler of anything yet but I'm sure the day will come.

Proud parent story today: Our daughter has known she has wanted to enter the medical field since beginning undergrad. She went from physical therapist, to physician's assistant to doctor and back to PA. She worked hard and graduated with honors with a degree in biology and minor in chemistry (I think). Then she set her sights on getting into PA school but needed direct patient care hours first. So she lived at home and fulfilled that requirement and applied to her top choice for schools. She was accepted and today on day two she received her white coat. I was surprised she got that so quickly but it was explained today they do that so the students know they are a professional in training. It's going to be a tough 28 months for her, but it will all be worth it in the end.<br />

I couldn't come up with the shot I wanted. Note to self-begin working on these types of shots earlier in the week. But since I really want to submit two photos for the theme I went with this one as my second shot. I have two old thimbles with advertising; this one for a lumber yard and the other is the same colors/texture but advertises coffee. Interesting...</div>

I posted this one the other day. Jan 1st and we had a little snow. Not a great snow for photographs but this one worked. On the last day of school before winter break I talked to most of the 4th graders about Wilson Bentley. I shared my love of photography and some of my snowflake and macro shots. Today my fourth graders enjoyed looking at this shot, I had it on the door of my classroom with a Happy New Year attached.</div>

I did not take a photo with my phone today. After sitting in my car for at least 15 minutes waiting for the frost to melt on the inside of the windows I thought, oh I should have taken some pictures of the frost. Then while driving home someone flashed their lights so I slowed down and sure enough there were close to 10 deer in a yard. I did consider stopping for a picture but I knew my window was frozen shut and I didn't want to take a chance on getting rear ended. Who knows, maybe something will inspire me yet tonight.... </div>
