The August Break (in September) :: Week 2
Well, here it is the end of September and I don't think that I will be making my goal of posting all of my August Break photos before September ends. I still have one more day though. But, if I still don't make it, there's always August Break (in October).

The August Break (in September) :: Week 1 continued
This year's August Break didn't turn out at all like I had planned.
I have come to the conclusion that I really do need a new computer and the realization that a new fancy camera is needed as well. I have a Canon XT and it is just not working like it used to. The focus is going. It is an old camera though. I bought it back in 2007. It's really frustrating. It's sad that digital cameras don't live forever.
So, here I am. Slowly adding what August Break photos I was able to download to my computer with the goal of having them all posted to the blog before the month of September is over.

She is still getting used to the big bad scary camera.

And so begins my 5th year of participating in the August Break.
The August Break project is simple. The only thing you have to do is to take a photograph every day for the entire month of August. That's it! You can take a photo of anything and everything. There are no rules on what the photos must be. Although, the past few years have included a list of photo prompts just in case you get stuck for ideas.
I don't usually follow the prompts and just photograph what I want.
Except this time. This time I actually did follow the suggested prompt for my first photo.

My "August" break has finally ended
This year's August Break has been more of an August, September and October break.
I have actually been blogging during these past months, but all my posts have been backdated August Break photo posts. This year, I surprised myself and managed to actually take a photo every day during the month of August for the August Break project. It just took me longer than a month to get them all posted to the blog. But now that "August" is out of the way, things can get back to normal around here.

I bought Ziggy some new friends. I think I may have gotten a bit too ambitious.
I hope I haven't bitten off more than I can chew.

I crocheted a few squares. I pretty much think I remember the pattern now. I made so many tiny squares that my arms and hands are in pain. Growing older is not a good thing when your hobby involves using your hands. Especially when the hands, well my hands, seem to be the first thing that is starting to go.

We need a new front door.
Since the day we moved in we knew that we would eventually need to replace it. It is a wooden door and every year during Monsoon Season it swells so much that not only does it not close but once it is closed, it gets stuck.
The door has other issues as well. It hangs crooked and because of that you can see the sky peeking through the gap at the top of the door. The panels on the door are separating from the actual door so square cracks of light have been starting to peek through.
The other day, the door was stuck. When trying to open it, the door jam cracked in half and it tore the trim and some paint off of the wall. It looks just like someone kicked in the door. So, we started on our quest to find the perfect new door. A few days later, the door knob broke off. Which is most definitely a sign telling us that we need a new front door sooner rather than later.

I bought these books a few months ago. June, I think. And I still haven't read them. I guess I will just add them to the pile with all the others.

Oh look! Another photo of Ziggy.
So, I kind of named my plant Ziggy. Ziggy the Zebra plant.
I hope that he doesn't die, especially now that I have named him. It would be very sad if he ended up going the way of Fred the Fiddle Leaf.
The little guys are the same ones that I got back in March. They are just as happy as can be. I believe the time has actually come for me to replant them.

Same view. Different day.
Storms at sunset make for beautiful skies. The clouds were SO blue!
