I know this picture sucks


Can you find the G?

I wanted to take a picture of "my mountain" on the first day of each of the four seasons to show how it changes. Well life got in the way in December and then there was so much snow that I never got around to it. Today I was driving home from the library and happened to have my camera. I was talking on the phone and hanging out my car window when I took this. There was no time to think about composition, settings or how awful the light was. I might try again on the first day of spring so I can get all four months in one calendar year.

What's that saying?


She who dies with the most fabric wins.

I decided I would go through my closets to organize my fabrics before I start to pack. It was exciting to see everything I had acquired all in one spot. I have plenty to keep me busy but it wasn't nearly as much as I thought it was LOL! This is a small portion of what I dug out. Isn't it pretty?

Got Popcorn?


Today I went "to work." My friends run a home business making caramel popcorn balls and I am their go to girl when they need an extra hand. It's nice to have some cash in my pocket at the end of the afternoon but I sure get tired being on my feet and it makes my back hurt. If you ever see one of these try it, there's a chance I helped make it!

11/365

Okay this is hard for me to post, but it is my reality. This is what I contend with, messes messes everywhere. Kids throwing things on the floor, towels down so that mud isn't tracked in on the new carpet, ickies in corners. Things like this will have to be no more if we are going to try and sell our house. What have I gotten myself into?

I thought this was pretty


Dang it's really cold outside. There is a corner of our roof that the snow melts off of and it drips onto an evergreen shrub. The shrub doesn't get direct sun so it freezes and creates very beautiful ice cycles and ice sculptures. The ice has completely coated the branches and needles. I got a lot of interesting shots but this is my favorite because of the way the setting sun was reflecting through the ice.

They’re Lucky I’m Nice

Today was my day to try a new meal for dinner. Our local grocery store makes dishes and gives samples ala Costco. I had tried this there one afternoon and like it. It’s called Island Teriyaki. It is slow cooked pork served with crushed pineapple served over coconut rice. What can I say; the three of them went thru Wendy’s drive through. I’m a good cook and it tasted like it should, they just don’t have a refined enough palette. Yes, that must be it! I admit that looking at this picture makes me pretty horrified. I can't totally blame them.

Lunch Out


This afternoon Paul and I went out to lunch at Las Tarascas. It is our favorite place to get Mexican food. We can't get enough of the tomatillo and avocado salsa. This is my favorite dish, enchiladas verdes. Yum, yum, yum, Delisioso! Oh and no, that isn't my soda, I wouldn't do such a thing. No way!
