The “Eyes” of March :: 11/52 + Book Giveaway! (CLOSED)

The “eyes” of March. That’s the topic for this week’s photo challenge over at My 3 Boybarians.

I didn’t want to take a picture of eyes. Because that’s obvious. And I like to be creative, and sorta…un-obvious. Only sometimes this backfires and I’m so “creative” that I don’t make sense.

Things have been so warm here in NC lately. Yesterday it was 80 degrees when I went running. That was my first time running in that kind of heat pushing 2 kids and lemme tell ya – it was h.a.r.d. But I’m trying to accomplish this challenge as well as train for my 1/2 marathon, so…I did it. But not without pain, I might add.

Anyway, while I was outside the other day, I happened to notice a flower about to bud.

To me, this is the “eyes” of March. Things are warming up and flowers are beginning to bloom. Love this weather!

    Just liked your FB page:). If I used twitter, I’d tweet about it, too. I think this book would help me a ton. This topic has been on my mind a lot lately… Just simplifying life a little more. I think this book could really be beneficial! Even if I don’t win, I think I’ll buy it:). Thanks for the review on it!

    Hey Christa! Thanks for the heads-up about the book offer. I’m too much of a detail person sometimes. I sure could use a lesson in simplicity. This sounds like a “must-read” for me! Thanks for sharing.

    Love daffodils. I sure could use Organized Simplicity. It is a great book. I borrowed it from the library once. It is one of those books that you just need to own so that you can refer to it. Great giveaway.
