I think he is collecting for his next crop of honey. I figure on the way he will pass pollen between flowers which is a big positive I am sure. Ok, not sure but I think that was heavily discussed in my science classes at one point. I wonder if those are veins in his wings. Interesting! Again the picture can be enlarged by clicking on the picture and then choosing the enlarge button above the picture on flickr.
Today was hopefully the last day of my third year of medical school. It went ok but boy do I think I could have flunked either of the tests. Not sure though. I always say that.
The good thing, today was my birthday and boy did I get some good stuff. New porch furniture, new GPS unit, Amazon gift card, money for anything. I think I have figured out 4 books to buy with my amazon gift card. I will save the money to buy fabric and things like that. I like having money I do not have to count to spend on fabric.
Todays color was red. I did not post this morning so this is a bit late. I hope this brick is more red brick than brown brick. I like this picture though.

Today was a miserable rainy day. I had to get ready for my family reunion so there wasn’t much outside time anyways BUT how dreary! Vandy did not get a walk/run. She is now getting into things. I guess that is my punishment. Had I taken her on a walk though she would have tucked her tail and pulled me home at the drops of rain hitting her much less the thunder.
To counter act the horrible weather maybe I should think back to another fun day. I went on another photo trip around town with a friend. Here are some other pictures from Morgantown, WV.
What pretty snapshots of the campus we found. I have not seen my friend’s pictures but I just love seeing the views I found while on our walk that day. I guarantee her views are better than mine!
I love this tree. It is in the front yard. I like the pink against my white house. These blooms literally only last about a week (if that!) Its sad to see them go.
So soon after I took the above pictures it rained. I apparently missed the big downpour due to my normal post test nap (ok, I can find a reason EVERYDAY to take a nap.)
After the above mentioned nap discussion I will continue on to house cleaning. I am not a clean person and probably never will be (sorry to all guests.) I can live in my clutter and I own a dog who creates hair faster than I can clean it, therefore, I do not try to keep up with that (though my mom tries hard when she is here too, even with sweeping every hour, it is impossible to keep up but it is nice to have her here trying!) Now we bought a Dyson vacuum about a year ago. I am still a bit creeped out by my ability to fill the container multiple times while sweeping the same spot on the same day. Could it be sucking out carpet decay. Once again I was amazed by the machine tonight. oh well, floors are still dirty. My dream would be no carpet. I dont even care that its in the bedroom.
The rest of my day was filled with tv and making little lovely packages for my cousins. I have more to make on those and little notes to write them. They are each getting some cute postcards with their names on them, some earings (Amanda gets 2 sets cause I left her out on my last trip) and hopefully they will each get a tissue holder to keep in their bookbags.
I guess I need to get better at keeping up with my posts. This week I started working on the Cardiac Care Unit. It looks like it will be a nice two weeks. Everyone so far has been very kind. It is suppose to be very time consuming but I actually left at 3:30 today. I hear the attending coming on next is very nice. The one on now is also very nice. Lets all hope!!
I have been sewing. Possibly sewing more than I should be. I almost have my second quilt top done. I sewed a few of those squares tonight. I am going to machine quilt this one though. I will have to buy a back for it and considered we just got the new car it may be a while before I can buy that quantity of fabric. I was going to use some of my Christmas money on that and to buy some fabric online that I like but my GPS unit recently started acting up so it looks like my money has to go to that. I love getting to go hiking and even though I do not get to go often I like the option to go when I can.
I made a tablerunner recently and I like it but I stole the pattern from a famous online quilter and am not sure on the rules about that. I guess this one will be only viewed in person. I like it in person but when I look at pictures of it I am not as into it. We will see. Maybe I like it cause I made it. Not sure.
I will leave you with pictures of Morgantown taken this weekend. These were fun to take. My friend Cara invited me out for a picture taking trip. We had a blast and took well over 120 photos in a hour and a half. We both got some we like!
