Day 274 - Monarchs

The first butterfly I learned to identify was the monarch. I still love watching them! We were surprised to see several flying around a field this time of year. But it was a welcome surprise! They are so beautiful.

Day 273 - Aperture

I love learning more about photography and how to use my camera to take better shots. Even though we don't have a DSLR (yet!), what we do have still works fairly nicely! I am learning about how to change the aperture to get effects like this picture with the flowers blurry in the background. Fun stuff!!

Day 272 - Punch Cards

I like punch cards to get free stuff! One more on the Fazoli's, and we get a free meal! Gotta love it :)

Day 271 - New Shoes

We spent some time shopping tonight with some gift cards we've had for awhile! Roy got a nice new pair of pj pants, and I got these adorable shoes! LOVE!!!

Day 270 - Open-faced Cheese

One of my absolutely favorite snacks is open-faced cheese or cheese toast. I like it best with what Roy refers to as "waxy" cheese - American singles! But we're all out. So white American had to suffice for tonight :)

Day 269 - Shades of Fall

I am so ready to see all the leaves in their shades of reds, oranges, and yellows! They are starting to change, but I'm ready for brilliant colors! The weather has sure realized that fall is here, and I'm loving that!

Day 268 - White Collar

Tonight we spent time with my mom catching up on this season's episodes of White Collar that she had DVRed for us. We watched up to the summer finale! We enjoy getting to spend time with her as we watch, and we all love the characters on this show!
