Just a hint of pink. Nothing to to see in the west except grey, so we’ll make do with what we get.

Winter Is Here
Rain for days, and then this. O gross.
That Look
This is the look you’re given when you ask Frances if she wants you to throw the ball.
Good Morning, Mister Sunshine
I was a little late for work this morning, but I have no regrets, because I got to see this while I was scraping my car. What a gorgeous winter morning.
More Spoons
“Nothing to see here. Move along, ma’am.”
Feeling Virtuous
Supper is a big salad with romaine, carrots, baby cucumbers, yellow pepper, and celery. I thought I had tomatoes, but I didn’t. Hmf.
Also shredded brussels sprouts sauteed in butter and olive oil, then drizzled with fresh lime juice.
Hohenberger Photo of the Day
This was one of the photos I worked on today. I wasn’t able to pin down who Lynn Logsdon was, but wanted to share the image anyway. The horse is fabulous. Doesn’t he look like a statue?

Spoons
Every night, Piglet gets in bed and spoons with Frances. After about 10-15 minutes, he gets up and goes to his own bed.
Things! In! Bags!
The Friday of finals week, a coworker took it upon herself to clean out the department fridge, without warning anyone. Usually the departmental secretary would send out an email on Monday, warning everyone to mark their food, then send another warning email the day before. This time there was no warning.
That would have been annoying enough. However my container of hummus was thrown out. I didn’t take a lunch the next Monday, thinking I had something to eat at work. Nope. I also had no money, not that it mattered, because the cafeteria was closed for the semester break.
Annoying, right? But that wasn’t the worst part. The coworker who cleaned out the fridge dumped food down the disposal. The disposal in our kitchen can’t deal with actual food. The sink has now been completely blocked for almost two weeks, along with the two water fountains that share the same drain.
So not only did she throw out people’s food, but now we’re having to hike to find water for the tea kettle and coffee pots.
Someone needs to tell her to stay the hell out of the kitchen, because she’s a damn menace.
Lee Brown Family
Brown / Marion Lee 1862-1930 / Lourena 1864-1930 / Paul 1901-1930
I took this photo at Lanam Ridge Cemetery in 2010. I wondered then how and why all three of them had died at the same time. Surely there was a story there?
Fast forward a few years, and by strange coincidence a coworker and I were drafted to work on a photo cataloging project, researching and adding subject metadata to a collection of historic photos taken by Frank Hohenberger, a local photographer. Within the collection was a group of photos of the investigation into the murders of the Lee Brown family of Brown County, Indiana.
Now, I wasn’t the one who was researching that particular set of photos. My coworker was. She messaged me and asked me to come over to her cubicle to look at something. While trying to figure out the story behind Chester Bunge and the Lee family murders, she found my photo of the Lee headstone at Findagrave.
So now I know (sort of) what happened to the Lee family and why they all died at the same time. They were murdered. (And part two, covering the coroner’s inquest.)
