Lis's Project 365

This Sunday at work there is a “Fall Festival” where, among other events, there is going to be a Tricycle Pull.  I’m almost sorry that I don’t work Sundays.  Almost.

Last winter when Doug and I were in a car accident, my friend Ellen (aka “ET”) left a goody bag at our door one day.  It was filled, as is ET’s style, with completely random stuff including cute little tissue packets, a tube of hand cream, and little molds for hard-boiled eggs.  The molds are, of course, Japanese.

The pink color on these leaves and berries was pretty bright, but couldn’t be captured to my satisfaction in a photo, so I used the selective color feature to really make it pop.

Time for CPR recertification.  Happy to say the new “Annie” mannequins are a vast improvement over the ones from years back.

Today in the mail I got a $50 gift card for Whole Foods (prize from a raffle) and a check for FIVE CENTS!!!!   It just doesn’t get any better than this.

I ordered something online recently, and the order form required a title (Mr/Miss/Mrs/ etc) and I decided to give myself an advanced degree, just to see how it would look.

A peacock feather is not what I would expect to find in the bathroom at the train station.

I realize that fall means the end of warmth and summer, and trees and flowers die and all that, but I don’t think having pumpkins that are the color of death is really what people want.  Just a thought, and from me who doesn’t even like fall.

Doug and I went for a short but lovely paddle on the Charles this morning, and I couldn’t resist this very typical fall New England image.

We invited Rachel over for dinner tonight, and since she is completely incapable of showing up empty-handed, we had cake for dessert.
