This week's theme is lazy. In our house, the shoes come off as soon as we walk in the door. Sometimes, we let them pile up quite high before we put them away. My original plan was to shoot the pile of shoes inside the door but I liked the texture of my husband's work boots. The wear and tear on them actually shows me he is anything but lazy when it comes to his job. I love my hard working man.

I had a hard time thinking of something to do this week and then i saw the pinwheel on the table. It's a good thing I've been lazy this week and not cleared off the dining room table. haha

Taken on the steps of Bedford City Hall on Sunday evening as the sun was starting to go down. I was having trouble getting myself in focus and finally had to break out the flash when it got just a tad too dark in the shade.

This week I read John Grisham's The Confession. It is a very thought provoking novel concerning the death penalty.

This week's theme is slow down, look back. I have photo albums dating back to the first year of our marriage in 1977. I love it when the kids and the grandkids pull them out, curl up on the couch and go through them.

We have had weeks of record breaking heat. I wanted sunset pictures but it has been staying over 100 degrees even after dark.
