Slices of Life

 Another fun week of prompts and another week where I didn't take many intentional photos but just filled in the prompts with photos I had already taken during the week.  I keep hoping our weather will warm up and stay consistently nice so I have ambition to leave the house and take "real" photos but it's been pretty blustery and cold here.  – On Your Plate  – (quarterly)   My bowl of fruit/ yogurt/ granola  – Outside -- We got outside and went hiking at Leadmine again this week – Starts with T -- Thank you cards; I made up a dozen for all of Alec's teachers this week.  – Where You Are Now?
