#Estellagram May - The End

I've really fallen away from #Estellagram over the past week - heat, snow(!), power outages, a long holiday weekend... you get the picture. Here are the three photos I managed to submit. It's been fun, but I'm calling it quits a few days early.

Day 22 | notes

Day 24 | cook... Not tonight!

Day 26 | tree... so windy and cool today

I'm not sure whether there is an #Estellagram June or not.

May #EstellaGram: Days 1 - 7

The first week of #EstellaGram for May is history. Despite going the 2-for-1 route on Days 3 and 4, I have kept up with this month's bookish photo-a-day challenge.

Day 1| close up... Penguin's Clothbound Classics are gorgeous

Day 2| currently reading 

Day 3| good & Day 4| evil... Two days, one photo!

Day 5| So #happy to find this in my mailbox! 

Day 6| sad ...I'd really rather sit by the lake and read, but there is work to be done.

Day 7| a couple #ethnic cookbooks

We'll see if I can keep up for another week.

Our March #EstellaGram has sadly come to an end...

Day 22| library... On the road today, but I can still visit my local branch

Day 24| food... Hubby rules the kitchen tonight -a delicious seafood pasta dish coming soon!

Day 25| cozy

Day 26| reading nook 

Day 27| reading music... I usually prefer quiet, but sometimes choose these.

Day 28| snuggle...The mudroom is a mess, but all my girls are home for Easter. We'll snuggle in for the SU game tonight. 

Day 29| growing... The garden is covered with snow, but I can still plan for summer.

Day 30| yellow ....my favorite book so far this year

Day 31| fluff ...This is the best I can do. Maybe the afghan helps?

It's been fun experimenting with instagram this month and I'd already begun looking around for another photo-a-day challenge, when #Estellagram April was announced. I'm not sure whether April photos will be posted on the blog, but they will be on both twitter (@lakesidemusing) and instagram (lakesidemusing). On we go!
