Day of Rest: Sunrise

I wanted to make sure I had my camera ready for this morning's sunrise. Yesterday was so spectacular, and I wanted to get some more pix with different angles, etc. Get ready for it, here it is:

Ta da! Points for snow. Otherwise Meh, just a cloudy day.

Let's show today how it's done:

  I sent this to John yesterday to fancy it up with his Photoshopping skills.  Not to diss previous sunrises, but: Best River House sunrise ever.

HAPPY Springy Saturday

Well. John wryly noted that it was still "Flea and Tick Day" on my blog yesterday, so I thought I would post. So here's the deal: I'm really bummed! I left my camera cable at Brother D's, I think, and I can't download any of my fab pix. Hehhhh . . . so I'm less inspired to post.

This week has been SO BEAUTIFUL! Spring is springing and I've had laundry out on the line. Lawnmower Mel has already been here to mow. He was so surprised to see the changes in Maggie & Millie. He met them the first week they were here when I still had them in the art studio/garage. "They could barely walk. What was that word you used?"

"What word? Geezer?"

"No. It was something else." Then he said how well they were walking and how good they look; shiny coats and whatnot. :-) Yay, Wild Alaskan Salmon oil!

So we kept talking--usually weather talk is rather innocuous, but we had Blizzard Comparisons to make! In the meantime, M&M sneaked all the way down to the field in front of my house! I said, "For geriatric dogs, they're pretty fast!"

"That's the word!" Lawnmower Mel exclaims.

Here are a few pix from the archives of my front yard:

Summer time. Looking pretty shaggy. You can sorta see a train going thru the trees in the background.

Winter time. I love this shot because the mountains are all frosty in the background and there's Remi in the foreground & Barkley waaaaay down the field looking like a black speck.

Favourite shot! With a rainbow. :-)

M & M Monday

Day of Rest

View this a.m. off the front porch. All foggy. Woulda been a better pic if it were cloudy. Or so I've heard. Back tomorrow with M&M Monday. :-) H.

Isn't this a spectacular shot of my front yard? I think October has to be one of my favourite months! I love the light in this photo. BEAUTIFUL. Yesterday was gorgeous--even got some laundry out on the line. Today is a soggy day: rain rain rain. Perfect for indoor activities of tea and books!

River House

Last part of road to my driveway.

Down by the river, where I hang out with Fisherman Willie.

Garage/ full basement downstairs.

Moving Day. Barkley & Remi's first nap!

Living room, with furniture!

View of front yard from front porch. HEAVEN. :-)

Leaving wilderness to see U2 tonight. YAY, meeeeeeeee!

Quote-of-the-Day

Lest some of you, and you know who you are, are quick to label this a "Hair Wash Post," read on . . .

This is the field in front of my house:

Last week I heard a noise outside the window and looked to see that it was full of wild turkeys. I counted a flock of 50. 50!!! I snuck out the back door and took a picture . . .


And this is all I got. Apparently you can't sneak up on a flock of wild turkeys.

The only mistakes I regret are those I didn't learn from. ~Richard Branson

If there's a next time, I will endeavor to snap a photo through the window.

I See Hearts Wherever I Go

This is a pear tree I found in the field in front of my house. Dave Dobson says that to get to the fruit, you have to climb the skinny branches. Hmmm....
