Not only Snow White has work to do today! It's doll cleaning day for me as well, then homework, then housework... Oh my.
I love to cook, so this measuring cup is often dirty.
Got this one in the sink as the sinking sun was shining through the kitchen window. Housework's not all bad!
Gonna be trying to get around to visiting your streams tonight...... in between housework and painting :)
Day 227
Typical Saturday, mostly doing housework and shopping. I took a small break to take my photo for today.
007/365 - January 7th, 2010
Behind me lies the most extended and most relaxing Christmas break I can ever remember.
Alas, after 19 peaceful days at home I had to be back at work today. And, even worse, it was Thursday, which means my weekly housecleaning was due.
Pinkie did her best to help me with the latter (she accompanied me to work as well, but was too shy to come out of my bag). Of course she was thrilled to see my pink floor bucket. She said she can't imagine a better color for a bucket, and it sure makes housecleaning a pleasant task (sorry Pinkie ... I'm afraid I can't quite agree).
Oh, just in case you wonder where Chicken Kid is... he went sledding with Nils and Elisa-Bettina today. They don't make particularly good hot chocolate, but at least they acknowledge his status as the captain and commander of the crew (in other words: he gives the orders, they push).
365 days ago: Today, for a change, no ice - just rice!
My view in winters at our village home gives me such a peaceful feeling. There’s absolutely no sound apart from the birds chirping and little girls speaking gently with their grandmothers, while the doting grandma prepares breakfast for the house. One always gets to see the girls of the house with their mothers or grandmothers in the kitchen or during housework because when it comes to household chores it is given that only the womenfolk needs to learn the skill. I don’t know when this concept is going to change in our countries.
My son went off for the day and night with some friends.
Our hostess, whose house we are in, is off for the day too.
I'm home alone so decided to do some cleaning.
Started with the refrigerator.
Emptied it all out, washed it down and threw away the alien life forms we were cultivating in some of the containers and which probably would have gotten us a Nobel Prize......or Hollywood contract.
Very scary stuff in the way back recesses.

Not very motivated today, so worked bench monday into my real life, not much play time today, must clean up from the long weekend...sigh.. I really just want to play with the kiddos, so we will see how much really gets done.
Seeing as all my men children are passed their tests thought it about time for a new car.... middle son has inherited our old one (2.2 Honda Civic not bad for a first car! Thankfully with a black box fitted!) loving this new one..... first time for a merc and have to say it’s the bees knees! Only thing it doesn’t do is the housework! So today I too am not doing the housework and I’m going to have a catch up on here! Hope you are all well.xx 😊
We had a lovely wet sunday day inside, playing games, watching DVD's.
A nice opportunity to relax & ignore the housework ;-)
Trying to get some last minute housework done before the little lady returned from the workplace and I got distracted by the array of birds at the feeders this day.
The Big Boy seems to appreciate the new dining arrangements.
I received this feeder as a Christmas gift from my wife. Made in U.S.A. The birds and I both like it a lot.

The 14th century St. Mary Magdalene Church in Wroclaw has two towers, connected by a sky bridge about fifty meters high, a feature I've never seen anywhere else.
The sky bridge is called the Witches' Bridge or Penitents' Bridge because of a legend that made Mrs. Orca's eyes roll: a young girl (Tekla), who refused a life of marriage and housework was cursed by her father to a lifetime of plying a broom on the Penitents' Bridge, which she was forced to do until old age, when a kind young witch (Martyna) took pity and freed her.
The skywalk is also associated with an equally dubious but perhaps more widely believed legend: during the witchcraft trials of the late middle ages the accused were supposed to have been made to walk from one tower to the other along the rail of the bridge; those who survived were found guilty and those who fell were exonerated.
The old town of Wroclaw viewed from the Penitents' Bridge, Wroclaw, Poland.
Forget the author, but I think I will remember that quote...
I had a photo of my friend's frosted glass window and wanted to try it on something as an overlay...not sure if it is a bit too busy here but kinda like it (and it helps me avoid the never-ending housework LOL)

"Perhaps too much of everything is as bad as too little." - Edna Ferber
-----
Managed to get the housework done throughout the morning, between running errands and hanging out with Nard, I even managed to shoot today's photo as soon as the sun decided to come out.
I was starting to worry, thinking it would be grey and dreary all day, but by about ten the sun had burned off the greyness and the sky cleared up, warming up the day.
I figured it'd been a while since I really hung out in the grass and shot the dew, which is one of my favourite things to photograph and being that I was off today, it seemed like the perfect time to lay down and get soaked while shooting. You do have to love days like that, when you know there's not much else to do, so you can get dirty while shooting. I find they're rare, but I love when they come about.
Anyway, hope everyone is having a good Monday. It's back to reality for me tomorrow; so I'd best go enjoy the rest of the sunshine while I can.

Listening to music is not necessarily a guilty pleasure... nor is reading a book... unless you should be doing the housework!

The sun is shining, the housework done..... time to get out in the country. Not far from home... but I like this scene. Hope you do too! Hardly any editing done here - just cropped. The long shadow is formed by an oak tree, sadly not yet in its autumn colours.

I am quite tired today, as you can see, I am ironing nothing. Luckily it was a snow day and I slept in, it shows. :)
Joke: What did the chicken do when she was trying to get out of housework?
Answer: Photographed her egg :-))
For me a few hours relaxing with a good jigsaw puzzle is my guilty pleasure. No housework, phones, tv, just me, the quiet and a puzzle.

Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo, make a comment or Fave it.
I just hate it when the fridge develops intelligent life...
Did I mention I loathe housework?
We're Here: Faceless Friday

Strobist: SB-700 on tripod behind subject, camera left; Yongnuo 560II in fridge, reflected off back of fridge; SB-24 with small soft box on cupboard camera right; Yongnuo radio trigger. Never answer a distress call from a strange fridge.
I have a love/hate relationship with ironing: I can't abide the way that it's obligatory--unless you only buy wool or clothes made of artificial fibres--but then sometimes, when chaos is closing in on you, it's an easy, routine way of restoring small pieces of order, smoothing away the entropy, flattening the fractals of disorder. The illusion of control, just from applying metal and steam to linen, turning crumple into crispness.
