Day 157

Today Mom's old home health aide came to visit. She quit to move away to Florida almost exactly two years ago. This is her first time back to Pittsburgh since then and she stopped by with Chinese food and thumbprint cookies for mom. It was very nice to hear about what she's been up to the last couple years. So today's pic is one I took when she moved away. I'll include a pic from today, too even though I didn't catch very big smiles from either of them.

Day 156

I was torn between blurry pictures of a full moon I took around 5am this morning and a boring picture of the enchilada casserole I made for dinner. I went with the moon, but I'll post both here. I should've at least taken a picture showing the different colored layers or something but no, just the cheesy top. :p

Day 155

The sunshine after a storm seems extra bright and fresh. I can't smell so I don't know if it's just a fresh smell in the air. Maybe it's the rain knocking everything out of the air leaving it clearer than usual. It was nice to see after a morning of feeling sick enough to miss church. This pic has night scene and vibrant color.

Day 154

I don't know much about plumbing but I'm pretty sure the top of a water heater shouldn't look like this. Thus my brother and dad embark on a 10+ hoir handyman adventure full of rust, shooting water, repeated trips to the hardware store, and yelling.

Day 153

I wanted to get a picture of sunset (because I waited until 8 to actually act on thoughts of how I should have a picture for today) but it was cloudy to the west. I went all the way to the graveyard (clearest view to the west near my house) but no luck. I did however find a little color in the sky to the north so that's what you get. I'll try to find a more spectacular sunset sometime in the future. I usually seem to see them when I'm driving which isn't great for picture taking.

Day 152

A fun fountain/statue/plaque in front of the main branch of the library. I didn't read what it said there thinking I'd be able to in the picture but I can't see here even after lightening the pic. I'll have to look next time I'm there. I think it's something about giving.

Day 151

When they dug up their yard to replace the sewage pipes they pulled out a variety of pipes. I think they are ceramic. I wonder what that curvy one did.
