Focus on Life~Week 36

This week, it's all about TWO...Sally's prompt for this week was:

"There are pairs everywhere in our life! This week, let's focus on things in two's!"

When I first saw the new prompt, my mind immediately went to the Canadian Geese which we now see every day. We are right on a flyway for the geese headed to lands south for the winter, and the pond and stand of trees in the lot behind us has been a popular watering hole/stopover for them. About a month or so ago, the city came and drained the pond, probably in preparation for the development which is starting to occur there.

The geese are PEEVED. I tried and tried to get a picture of some of them overhead for this week (geese mate for life and are always in pairs) but just could not make it happen.

So~this is second choice. This view of our diverse feet, in the mudroom, always makes me laugh and know I am home.

With a little help from PicMonkey here are...pairs!

  10. With 5 children to raise, you can be sure that picture brought back MANY memories, now it is flip flops scattered about when the grandkids come over for a visit. Thank you!

  11. The shoes are a fantastic choice. That was our house rule growing up as well and with six kids in our family there was always a gigantic pile of shoes in the entry way. My hubby didn't have the same house rule and found it amazing each time he visited.

  12. I have a space like that in my foyer with all the shoes, I'm constantly trying to straighten them up! Didn't even think about that for the prompt!
