Normal 2018

at our house

****************************************************
I made the live material, Center Piece myself during the first week in December.

But for some reason, I never got around to taking a photo of it. However, when I noticed that the plant material was starting to droop from being around for so long, I finally felt compelled to get a photo before the opportunity was totally gone. But there wasn't enough light on the dining room table, and I didn't want to use flash. My solution was to move the center piece to the floor in front of the kitchen sliding door to capture the natural lighting.

Seeing the bowl on the floor and me with a camera, Bailey must have thought that I was going to do a portrait session with her. So she ran over, sat down, and started to pose pretty. That when Bella decided that she wanted to be part of whatever was going on. Bailey was less than thrilled about the idea of having to share the spotlight. Thus, this candid photo. At that point, my husband also came home from work & saw the center piece on the floor with the dogs trying to push each other out of the way in front of it. Plus the door was open & I was sitting on the floor outside in our Solar Room with the camera in my lap.

Yep, just another normal day at our house.
