Day Twenty-six: Night.

Have you ever gone
for a walk at night,
when the world gives
a gentle sigh of relief,
when familiar, dingy streets
seem much more mystical
than they ever actually could be?
It's moments like this
that make me wish
we lived in town
so that my sweetheart and I
could clasp hands
and pretend, just for a moment,
that time stands still.

Day Twenty-seven: Something I ate.

There's no greater breakfast
than fried egg and toast.
Sometimes I like to make
a tasty little sandwich,
sometimes I reserve
one piece of toast for jam,
and sometimes I leave the eggs
to stand up by themselves
and let the toast take the show.
Whatever I may fancy at the moment,
it's ALL delicious.

Day Twenty-eight: Money

I've got a nickel,
I've got a nickel!
I've got a nickel,
hey hey hey hey!
...
That being said,
I think the nickel
is a very under-valued
coin.

Day Twenty-Nine: Something I'm listening to.

Have you ever heard of Shane & Shane?
No?
Well.
They are arguably the most talented
musicians I have ever heard.
I don't make that claim lightly.
When I was listening to them
just a moment ago,
shivers ran down my spine
and my eyes teared up.
Nothing but God-given talent
and God-honouring music
has that power over me.







And with that we come to the end of the February Photo-a-Day challenge! It was a BLAST. I am planning on doing the March challenge, but I do not think I will be posting it here. If you want to keep up on my photos and you use Instagram, then find me there - my name is arsawat. 

mirror baby!

Green.

Day Twenty-five: Green.

It's vacay time!
And I got a new iPod!
Well... new to me.
So!
I took many grainy
driving pictures today.
Yay.
The only green in sight
was found on these
numerous signs.
There you have it.

this might be a little boring...

Day Twenty-Four: Bathroom Cabinet.

Sadly, we do not have a bathroom cabinet.
We don't even have bathroom drawers.
It's something that makes me question
the judgement of this house's designer.
Anyhoo.
What you get today
is a sample of the vast array
of toiletries that are always
cluttering up my bathroom counter.

...enjoy?

my feet are happy

Day Twenty Three: My shoes.

I spend most of my life
wearing slippers.
It's a fact.
I used to be partial
to fur-rimmed moccasins,
but I've since fallen in love
with their less hairy,
bead-less cousins.
Then again,
I have myself a pair
of extremely fury,
daintily-beaded mukluks
from the 80's,
and don't you even try
taking them away from me!

where I live

Day Twenty Two: Where I Work.

The work that I do
involves many different things,
like changing diapers,
wiping noses,
enforcing nap time,
sweeping floors,
doing laundry,
planning meals,
occasionally making those meals,
and entertaining two small boys.
Even with so many tasks in a day,
it still seems like most of my time
is spent on the floor
with these two little beans.
This is where I work, this is where I live.

the most precious memories

Day Twenty One: A Favourite Photo of Myself.

It was hard to sort through
a whole bunch of different happy times
in my life and pick a favourite
picture to share today.
I think this picture takes the cake, though.
This was moments after Ben was born.
He was handed right to up to me
and we cuddled
for what felt like forever.
I will never forget the feeling
of my newborn babies
being laid on my chest.
Never!
