Inspired by my dear friend Allison, I took up the challenge to take a photo each day in 2011 to document my life. I embarked on this with some trepidation (I was not sure I would remember to take a picture every day), and with some curiosity: I didn't have a plan for this project and I was excited to see how it would evolve. What would my life look like, day by day, throughout one year?

Well, one year on, I am addicted to this project. I already took a lot of photos of my children but I have loved the way the 365 challenge has disciplined me to think about and appreciate EVERY SINGLE day - and the precious moments in every day that in the past have flown by unnoticed... I am thrilled to continue with this blog in 2012 - although it really should be retitled: Day by Day 366! Looking forward to a new year...

Day 241: Cherries

One of the many wonderful things about living in Oregon is the bountiful local fruit. Having been gone all summer, I had resigned myself to having missed the opportunity for fruit picking, one of our family's annual summer treats. We visited our favorite fruit stand on the slopes of Mt Hood today to pick peaches, and ended up picking amazing cherries and late-but-fabulous blueberries with our friends. Here is Anna and her buddy Ben about to harvest the delicious crop of cherries on that tree.
