These things. I just don’t even.
Things That Are Orange
Sunrise Over Wright Quad
Clementine
Clementines exist to remind us that winter cannot last forever.
Esther’s Senior Yearbook Photo
Artubus, Indiana University, 1923
I’ve got a couple of photos of Esther, but not many. This is actually quite lovely in an unfussy kind of way. She was, I think, an unfussy kind of woman.
Beautiful Day
It’s supposed to be 50F today. And I don’t want to jinx anything, but when I got to work this morning, it was 74F on my floor. HUZZAH! It was warm at work yesterday, too, and I’ll be damned if people weren’t complaining about it.

Rainy Day
Gimme!
Wherever the green beans are, there’s Franny, hoping one will jump into her mouth.
Raindrop
This. This is what we have been looking at for days and days and weeks and weeks. It finally cleared up, and it looks like it will stay mostly dry for the next few days.
I wouldn’t mind winter so much if we could just see the sun once occasionally.
Cardinal
This little guy stopped by a couple of weeks ago. I love that we have cardinals year round. They’re like bright and cheerful little strawberries in the midst of the winter greys.
A Visitor
We had a yearling deer visit. Franny was absolutely beside herself, because I was a giant meanypants and wouldn’t let her bark at it.
