Every Day In May - May 31 - Eggs

An egg shortage?  According to the sign at Whataburger, yes.  So I went to Costco and bought a carton of 18 eggs and paid a dollar more than usual.  Last year there was a shortage of peanut butter, also with a corresponding increase in price.  The year before, chocolate.   What will it be next year?

Every Day In May - May 30 - Bird Feeder

This is my hummingbird feeder, which I just refilled and hung above our hummingbird bush.  It is not only non-leaking, but pretty too!

Every Day In May 29 - Faucet

The slightly rusty water faucet in my kitchen garden. . .

Every Day In May - May 28 - Yard Ornament

All things grow with Love

This is in my front garden - it's a little bird perched atop a rock.  I found it at Target several years ago.  I love the truthful sentiment.

Every Day In May - May 27 - Something Fuzzy or Furry

Every Day In May - Something Fuzzy or Furry -- I snapped a picture from my garden of the Milkweed (Asclepias) pod seeds readying to take flight.  That could be more fluffy, but I'm using it for fuzzy.

Every Day In May - May 26 - "What's your sign?"

(actually the prompt was a sign...)

I am a March Aries, but always felt I had a good dollop of Pisces, too.   Since aquamarine is my birthstone, I wanted to give the astrological symbol a watery gemstone look.

Every Day In May - May 25 - an apron or something you use to cover when doing messy things

This is my favorite apron I use for baking (and cooking, too!).  It is an apron styled from a 100 pound  bag of Imperial Sugar.  The City of Sugar Land, Texas outside of Houston, was named because the Imperial Sugar company headquarters and  factory, or vice versa.

Every Day in May - May 23 - Interesting Building Detail

The door knob in Herzstein Hall, Rice University

Every Day In May - May 22 - Something that is attached or hangs from the wall

Our third generation living room clock.  We've been in our house for almost 30 years and this is the third clock we've had in this space.  The first was a schoolhouse clock, a wedding gift from my grandmother which wound with a key, then a pretty verdigris ivy wreath clock and now this, which we found at Tuesday Morning.

At least it has the Roman numeral for 4 as IV.  Have you noticed that lately clocks and watches have IIII instead?

Every Day In May - May 21 - Where I sit to read

...at this funky painted table in Galveston at Mod Coffeeshop, enjoying an Almond Joy latte with almond milk.

Every Day In May - May 20 - Wallet

Marc by Marc Jacobs wallet.  Thank goodness it has a zipper, sometimes it's like trying to zip shut a suitcase full of receipts and loyalty cards.

Every Day In May - May 19 - Cupcake

Every Day In May - May 17 - Something you use to measure

My Dritz Point Turner and Button Gauge.  I've been painting things which have meaning or connection to me.  This could be considered "vintage," as I got it when I learned how to sew at age 10.  It's quite handy and I still use it!

Every Day In May - May 16 - Favorite Recipe Ingredients

I love to bake, and many of my favorite (and trade-secret) recipes use butter and eggs!  The egg is also a wink to my first drawing class wherein we drew an egg.  Now I have watercolored an egg!  The circle and connection is complete.

Every Day In May - May 15 - Something You Throw Away

The tag from a Vera Bradley purchase.  However,  I usually keep the green cord.  I do reuse them!

Birthday flowers for my sweet friend, Regina -- Pink kalanchoe.

Every Day In May - May 12 - Stairs or Steps

I had to be a little creative here, as we don't have a staircase.  These are stepping stones we put in last weekend to navigate the backyard "lake" especially after it rains.  Which we have had a lot lately!
