Welcome to week 2 of my series of mostly ordinary daily photos of my week. Since Covid, time has slowed down for many of us and our new norm is lasting much longer than I ever though. Regardless, there is much to have gratitude for and make our everyday lives more meaningful.
The following are my photos for the week ending Sept 12th. We had an extraordinary event this week but otherwise just taking one day at a time!
My son became engaged and I am so excited for him and his lovely bride to be! Couldn’t be happier to welcome her into the family!
We went for a hike along Lake Red Rock here in Iowa. Saw these daisies beneath the bridge where we were hiking. Butterflies and bumble bees! All ordinary but never really paid much attention to these before!!
Nothing but rain over the next several days! Woke up to raindrops on my window Tuesday.
More rain on Wednesday. I love the view from my deck of this tree, love watching it change with the seasons. Even stately in the rain.
I lit candles around the house on Thursday to brighten up the place as the weather was still rainy and dreary because candles give a nice warm glow. Plus beautiful fall scents!
Still raining on Friday. I made some protein/energy balls for our upcoming hiking adventure in a couple of weeks. These freeze easy and are great on the trails! Recipes will be in my Thursday post!
Despite the cooler temps and dreary weather my Day Lillies were a welcome site and still looked good when the rain stopped on Saturday.
Thanks for following along with my week 2 of ordinary photos! Hopefully next week’s ordinary will have more sunshine!!

Ordinary photos can be significant in their own way, and I like the rain on the window and view from the deack ones in particular.
And congratulations to your son and future daughter-in-law!
Thank you! you are so right. Some of the things we walk by and don’t even notice can become significant when we think about it or pay attention!
Gorgeous shots and congrats on engagement!
Thanks!! My kids are keeping me busy this month!!!

Congrats on your son’s engagement. Nothing ordinary about a big announcement like that!!!
Thank you! That is true!! Not an ordinary event!!
Love these photos of your life Lori, it’s nice to know that others have a normal life, it’s not only travel and adventure, and yet in the ordinary there is lots of beauty.
Thanks!! Exactly my thoughts. Trying to appreciate what I do have!!
the protein/energy balls look great, and perfect for a some hiking.
We like them a lot!! But usually eat more than we should!
I would do the same thing…
