It has been a few weeks since I've been able to participate in Black and White Wednesday and I've missed posting and checking in on my fellow B&W buds. However, it has been kind of a crazy time and I've been feeling pretty overwhelmed and behind in many areas of my life. As a result, I have major blogger backlog and will try to catch up on some posts soon.
Spring has come with a vengeance here and I've been sniffing, coughing, and hacking to prove it. I suppose it doesn't help that we've had the windows open (which I typically love) AND Don has been doing some dust-generating projects around the house.
While Lindy and I were in Kansas visiting my parents, I came home to an absolute MESS in my house because Don had been working so hard. I don't know, perhaps this is why I've been sneezing and sniffing:
I know this is such a weird thing to photograph and subsequently post and the quality isn't really very good to boot (I was experimenting with macro and no flash but still got glare). At this point, you may be wondering if that Lisa Osborn has ANY pride or dignity, whatsoever. Believe me, I am too. However, it was one of those things that happened really quickly and my first reaction was, "Lindy DON'T run your fingers through the dust, you'll scratch the furniture." But as I looked at it, besides the fact that I know I have more dusting to do than time, it made me smile thinking about this little girl who places a heart on top of her "L" and loves to make things fancy and pretty.
Go over to Lisa's blog if you'd like to see some much better B&W work! I have to get back to d, du, dusting!

LOVE it! It doesn't matter if I just dusted yesterday, I could dust again the next day. The pollen her is AWFUL!!! EK is sneezing up a storm! Hope you have fun cleaning! :)
The dust will always be there, but our children will be grown before we know it. I like this photo, as it is a tender reminder of that very thing...how truly precious these years really are. The dust can wait!! ;)
I just haveta say - I love these! real life and that heart - too cute! I was just wondering today (seriously!) If it was wrong to be teaching Tia to dot her i with a heart :)
We are all soooooooooo wheezing around here (but it is Fall in Australia) I hope you feel better - but I'd have those windows open too!
I just LOVE these photos!! They certainly capture real life.
Just precious!!
Too Funny!!!! It makes me want to sneeze too!
Happy Spring too. When are the gorgeous Blue Bonnet pictures coming?
How is your Daddy, and how are you??
Love,
Di
Love this very much Lisa...yes, it's real life and adorable!!!
Dust and laundry, the things that never end, and I love how you captured this sweet moment!
And it's great to see you back, friend.

I feel very much at home with these shots. (In the middle of a re-no so 1 inch thick dust is my middle name these days.)
I love it!
I love it! It was absolutely the last thing I was expecting and its whimsical and real moment too!!
I enjoyed your commentary too :)
Been thinking about you all....welcome home and please know I'm still covering your folks/family in prayers.
Allergy season is a killer...I love Spring but hate the dust and pollen. I do love her message in dust and it look s cool B&W!
I absolutely LOVE that you posted this. I think it's great. I would totally take a picture of that! I think it turned out great too. I do hate pollen though! Glad I found your blog through Black and White. I'm a new follower.
Absolutely adore thisAnd I know for sure that Lisa Osborn is a pretty dignified, pretty amazing woman~!
Love you!

Love it! We've had the windows open for the last few days and my house is covered in pollen. I dusted this morning and it wasn't nearly as pretty or artistic as this!
We have the same dust issue around our house. Although we just live on a gravel road. The open windows are worth te extra dusting. I bet seeing that sweet name made all your sniffling worth it :) LOVE the heart at the top. My 6 yr old can't write her name without decorating it either :)
Hope your Dad is doing better!!
My house has so much dust too. This year we are all covered in yellow around here. I would have taken a picture of this too when Sephy was little and wrote her name.
This is great!!!! Great job on her letters too!! ha
Glad to hear your Dad is doing better!!
That is sooo cute! I love the heart!
Lisa you are so cute!!! I just adore you!!! I love what you photographed...you have imagination and your fun!!! Keep working that lens girl : ) smoochie smoochie to you!!
Funny and sweet! I really need to take a lesson from you and work to capture some more "ordinary" moments in our life.

What a cool shot! I hate renovations!
Lol! There will always be dusting to get to,trust me! My apartment never seems to be without the stuff. But I think it's great that instead you focused on the beauty in it :)
Too funny! Glad you grabbed the camera for these two. Right now, she could probably do that on my car. :)
How is your dad doing?
Hugs,
Michelle
This made me laugh out loud!!! You are so cute:) It is hard to keep up with the dust these days.....I made the mistake of opening my windows the other day to let in the fresh air......along with the pollen....UGH!! The hand held swiffer got lots of use this week:)
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend ahead. Thank you for yesterday.....You are one special lady and a wonderful friend to many......just wanted you to know that!!
xoxo,
Lisa
I love her handy work!!! The heart over the "i" is just too sweet!! I have missed reading and seeing what your precious family is up to. I can't wait to see what Lindy will put her mark on next.
