April 2026 – Lis's Project 365

I saw a saw

I didn’t know anything about the tools use to cut tile, but I wasn’t picturing something quite this imposing.

birthday cake

Doug took me out for dinner for my birthday, and the restaurant gave us this complimentary slice of cake. Which was very nice, and also really really delicious.

pink snow

Pretty as this is, I wish the blossoms stayed on the tree for longer.

When Doug and I moved to this house, the 2nd floor bath was painted this godawful combination of sponge painted greens with some “antiqued” gold pain. It was hideous. So we painted it yellow, but continued to call it The Green Bathroom. Now, years later, the green bathroom is restored to actually being green.

movies and ice cream cake

Tonight was the season finale for Bad Movie Nights (Sharktopus vs Whalewolf, followed by To Die is Hard). I decided it would also be a good opportunity to celebrate my birthday with some friends. I do love ice cream cake…

on your mark

These signs are posted all over the Marathon route, and and all the streets that connect to it. I have to plan my errands on Marathon Mondays because of this.

Charlotte?

I have spotted this spider in our (remaining) bathroom every day this week. That’s fine with me, as long as it’s taking care of any bugs that might appear.

reconnaissance

I’m planning something very silly for this Saturday, and it required me to check out a local park. Spotted this post at a clearly new set of stairs. Thanks, Paul!
