Day 310: Socks & Snow

I was up a little late last night, so, got up this morning at 7:00 to sunshine on yesterdays snow. Nineteen degrees. A pretty and pleasant day, at least in regard to the weather.

The month has just begun and I see no freelance work on the immediate horizon. I get nervouse, because I need more work to meet all of my obligations. I get this way in the first few days of every month, and something usually comes my way and life keeps going on. For al of the adversity I have faced in recent years i have managed to chop away quite a bit of debt. I surprise myself when I look at the figures.

A terrific buy at Sam's Club: 10 pair of socks for $11.38

Speaking of money, I love to get a good buy for my dollar. Thus, I shop at Sam's Club fairly regularly. I have never given any attention to the clothing they offer for sale, until last night. I was walking through the store and a display of socks caught my eye. It just so happened that I had been thinking about buying some socks. They had ten pair for $11.38, and, they were MADE in USA!  I was thrilled to think that a piece of clothing was still being made in the USA. Also, 10 pair for that price seemed like a great deal to me. So I bought them. I am wearing a pair now & they feel great on the feet. An excellent buy that I reccomend at Sam's Club.

Day Three: Two Photos

Last night I happened to look out the bathroom window and saw this colorful sky through the trees. I quickly grabbed a camera made this image. This morning I stepped out on the front porch and liked how the sun was shining on the patchy snow in the yard. It's nice to see the sun and the receding snow in March. So far March has been coming in like a lamb. Hopefully it will go out the same way.
I am constantly snapping photos for variety of reasons. The photos posted today were images that just caught my eye around the house in Chaumont, NY. A view of my backyard and a photo of my front yard. Are these great photos? Probably not. But they reveal what catches my eye. I cannot shut my eyes off or how I view the world. Everything I look at I see as if through a camera. Do these photos say anything or have any meaning. Probably. Especially sunsets. They fall into the category of pretty pictures. Usually they are immedieatly appealing. People like the colors. The silouettes.
The snow photo is not exactly a pretty picture, but I believe it conveys a message: the approach of Spring. For those who live in our reagion Spring is something to get excited about.
