A is for Afternoon Snack

Making fruit salad is one of my favorite things about summer. I never think to do it in the winter, even though it's definitely still possible (albeit with a smaller selection of fruits). I used a piece of foam core as my backdrop, so I feel all fancy now.

X is for (Railroad) X-ing

On our last visit to Fuquay, I had seen a train car stopped on these tracks and thought it would be a nice photo. But alas, when I went back the train was gone and only the empty tracks were left (how dumb of me to think it would still be there?). It's a bit of a stretch for the letter X, but at least I got it out of the way (Q and Z are still plaguing me).

R is for Rain

Sunday was such a washout, I knew it would be hard to get a pic. But I was fairly happy with how this turned out. By the time we got back to Raleigh the rain had turned to sleet and finally snow. Pretty for looking at, but not so fun for driving in. But we finally made it home safely!

G is for Green

We were in La Grange this weekend, so of course I had to get a farm shot. I was surprised that there was so much green already in February.

I is for "It's Bo Time!"

That melty cheese. That crunchy bacon. That buttery biscuit. A heavenly Friday-morning treat.

U is for Up

A different perspective of the Lucky Strike tower.

V is for Valentine's Dessert

Lee and I decided to keep Valentine's low key and do dinner at home. I came home to homemade spinach & artichoke dip and shrimp & grits, plus a sweet card and beautiful orchid plant. It was perfect.

My contribution? This teeny cheesecake from a local cafe. I was too full to eat it after dinner, but Lee said it was delish. I can't wait to eat my portion tonight.

This photo? It could definitely be better. I took it at my desk at work because I knew it would be dark by the time I got home. The windows provide some awesome light (not to mention the view), but I could probably have spent some more time getting it just so -- but I was in a hurry to get home to my Valentine!
