A Day in the Life

June 24, 2008 By Carole

Last week I joined a flickr group called A Day in the Life Of . . . it’s a place to post photos of your life on a particular day. Saturday was the most recent day to post and I want to show you the 5 photos I chose but first I need to take care of some housekeeping and show you my Sweet Swap Package from Elizabeth.

Luckily for me Elizabeth went on a trip to Hershey, PA right before she mailed me this package so it was extra sweet! There was candy and yarn and books and roving and lots and lots of wonderful treats. Thank you to Lynne for organizing the swap and thank you to Elizabeth for sending such a terrific and generous package!

The theme for this round of A Day in the Life Of . . . was green. I tried to incorporate green in all my photos as I spent the day . . .

It was fun to carry the camera around and look for ways to document my day of green. I’m already looking forward to the next time.

    Great photos as always! I haven’t yet seen a humming bird this year; hopefully, they’ll be here soon.

    i totally missed the day. in fact, i didn’t even take a picture on the 21st, green or otherwise.

    cool hummingbird.

    Green is pretty easy this time of year, but it’s what you do with it. I like yours, especially the hummingbird. I got buzzed by one in the wild once. For a split second I thought I was being attacked by a mutant fly.

    Great goodies in that package! And your backyard is too perfect. I joined a similar group as well…My Everyday Life. Seems like a good way to keep the camera clicking!

    Anytime you want “fresh” Hershey products, let me know. I live about 30 minutes from Hershey.

    Thanks for the pretty pix! 🙂

True satisfaction comes from looking life right in the eye, doing your best, and finding the joy. #aepiecesofus #thisismyface #faceforward
