I have lots of things to post from work today! Above is a project that has been taking for-ev-er and we are all ready to see it complete. We have had difficulties with everything including placement of walls directly over a power line, brick selection & matching, and column replacement (yes, the mean architects had them take out the first one). It will be really cool if it ever gets done and its my very first everything project - I designed and convinced my boss that it was ok to put all that steel in a tiny entry, so he said, "ok - its yours!"

Next on the list of work things: redlines.

The top photo is what I volunteered to stay late a work to help with - there is something satisfying about finishing up a page of red with a stroke of orange highlighter. The other one...that is what my poor co-worker is sorting through - not satisfying to look at a see of colors and figure out what actually got fixed!

Its a day to be lonely in the city - downright glum. Sometimes you just want to go home to the familiar places that are a part of you. I haven't seen Grand Marais in a few months and its time to get back...its a bit like therapy, when you see that lake over the hill, whatever color it may be, its just a breath of fresh air.

If you plant sticks in pots for the winter, they grow buds in the spring! I am not very good at the blogging daily thing...I think my life is a bit boring, but I have to remember that this is just to record the year and not to impress anyone.

I walk through this intersection and always notice people are so mad. Today the traffic wasn't even that bad (maybe earthday had some effect on people driving to work), but people were still so angry. Please don't be so angry - maybe pack snacks.

We were in SD again this weekend. It was a trip to celebrate our niece's one year birthday, so there was cake and such festivities. There was also a sidecar ride for yours truly - Tim built one for his motorcycle thats pretty sporty.

No - I didn't take this today, but I am trying to remember what my flowers looked like last year. My grandma always draws up a map/plan and now I know why...its hard to remember. These were existing lilies that I inherited with the house, which was nice, but I still don't know what will come up. The association is deciding if they will approve my proposed garden proposal...keep fingers crossed!
