My familiar

December 24, 2012January 6, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 14 Comments

I knew one day we'd be together again. Something as intangible as dying couldn't keep us apart. Remember all those nights we'd stay up late watching old movies? You'd lay your head on my chest, and I would stroke your face, and run my fingers through your jet hair. We wouldn't have to say a … Continue reading My familiar

A day in the life

November 19, 2012January 6, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 7 Comments

My day begins before sunrise, when the others are still asleep. I patrol the perimeter, looking for intruders and making sure everyone is in bed where they belong. Mom is always the first awake, she never seems to sleep. I need to check on her, to make sure she is okay. If I snuggle with … Continue reading A day in the life

Week 30: camera dump

August 4, 2012January 8, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 4 Comments

This was a lazy week, I even seriously considered just packing it in and giving up. It's not difficult to take a photo every day, it's just that I exhausted my imagination weeks ago. I try to take different photos each day, but day-um sometimes it's easier to simply snap a shot of the pets … Continue reading Week 30: camera dump

Week 26: halfway point

July 7, 2012January 8, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 2 Comments

Finishing Week 26 of my 365 Project... that's halfway. It's all downhill from here, and hopefully in a good way. That's 189 photos, actually taken on 189 separate days and not just posted on different days. I feel like I've already accomplished a mighty feat. Now, if I can keep it up the second half … Continue reading Week 26: halfway point

Week 14: 365 Project

April 7, 2012January 8, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 9 Comments

I'm only two shy of posting 100 photos for my 365 Project, and am more than a quarter of the way done. Not too shabby... even if the photos are still not very exciting. Our matron cat, Pollo del Fuego, is featured this week. Since the hell-child Scruffy has been in the spot light in … Continue reading Week 14: 365 Project

Spring has sprung

April 3, 2012January 7, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 3 Comments

Spring has come to Florida! Well, it's been here a while, but I finally got to work and took advantage of the frostless days and started my annual attempt at growing things. I have a notorious brown thumb, but it never keeps me from trying. Several years ago my husband built me two raised planters, and … Continue reading Spring has sprung
