Shattered. This a picture our downstairs sliding glass door… after it caught a rock from the lawnmower. We lost a pane of glass on half the door. So sad. Especially given that they are costly to fix or replace. At least a got a photo of the day out of it.

When we bought our house (in March) we started a remodel of the master bedroom. We are still working on it (it sat for quite awhile without any work being done due to availability of his brother in law, who is doing the work). For the last couple days we have been painting the room (carpet goes in next). So, today, here is a picture of a paint roller. The color we are painting is a light gray (called Secret Passage).

Santa brought me a Nook reader this year. The black and white (e-ink) Nook Simple Touch. I love it for reading books. I just decided that I wanted to load some of my own pictures onto it for the screensaver. Loaded some I have taken, and previous featured as a photo of the day, of the pets. Here is what it looks like with the picture of Nutty.

We put a wood stove insert in our basement fireplace. It is so nice having wood heat. We hang out downstairs all the time now. The cats also love the wood stove (the fluffy dog, not so much). One thing about having a wood stove is that you spend a lot of time, splitting, stacking and bringing wood inside. Here is a picture of the bucket we have to keep wood inside. Felt like an appropriate thing to take a picture of today.

The Dude loves to be on this ottoman in front of the wood stove. I love it when he curls up in the middle so that, from above, it looks like a circle in a circle. I have been waiting for him to do it, while my camera was nearby since I began this project this year. He finally did it today. I had to stand on a stool and hold my camera way up in the air and snap photos without looking through the viewfinder. Glad I got some that were in focus. Later I went to my grandparents to celebrate their 61st anniversary (which was on the 5th), by eating lots of Chinese food and delicious deserts. It was a good day.
