Last year I started a photo segment on Julie’s Jazz called 52 Weeks of Photos. I ended up with 20 weeks. This year I wanted to try again. I’m two months late so I’m just calling this segment: Julie’s Jazz Random Photos of 2014. I know, my titles are dripping with creativity! Just like last year these post will be random photos with little descriptions. The above photo shows how adept Will has become at dirty looks.
Sam and Charlie at Sam’s last choir concert (I hate indoor pics)!
A family walk and a neighbor dog.
I’ve never tried to pet him. He and our dogs don’t get along.
Will in Ben’s shadow.
Pussy Willows. They’re so soft!
My Spring Christmas Light Expose. It honestly doesn’t bother me. I just find it interesting. Plus, I’m always jealous come November! The outside of my home looks like a crazy family lives there! I’m sure people wonder every year if we’re ever going to rake our leaves.
Brad put Christmas lights up one year when he was in High School. Later that summer I asked him to take them down, not once but several times. It was a fruitless effort. I would come home each day for lunch and stare at them. They had now transformed into rusty barbed wire laced with cockle burs. I backed the pickup up to the house and tied a rope around the trailer hitch and tied the other end to the string of lights on the house. As I drove off the lights UN-strung cleanly off the eves of the house. I stopped the truck and went back and untied the rope from the hitch. The string of lights had settled in the gutter, stretching half a block. The broken colored glass bulbs glistening in the summer sun brought closure to another Christmas past.
I love this story! I look around at the outside of other peoples homes and wonder about their stories (happy or sad).
