I was a proud Girl Scout when I was little, and so were pretty much all my friends. We had great leaders and lots of fun.
This is a picture from a field trip to the local TV station. I remember this trip being a lot more fun than the one we took for school some years later, but the best part about this picture is that Jenni and I are still friends, even after all these years. 🙂

I love how moisture brings out the color in an otherwise dreary landscape:
I took this a couple of weeks ago, back before our newest round of snow made this beautiful apple tree even more beautiful. Sadly, I never managed to get a picture of it dusted with snow. 😦

Once upon a time, I was quite adept at climbing trees. This tree was at my grandparents’ house and did a fantastic job of shading their driveway. I remember, quite vividly, perching in one of its many crotches and writing my first poem (a copy of which I still have somewhere in my office).
When Bubbles was born, I was disappointed that we didn’t have any good climbing trees in our yard. Then I moved to town, and each new place also lacked good climbing trees. At last we have a place with lots of trees for the kids to climb, and they’ve taken to it like ducks to water (the older ones, anyway). To me, there’s nothing quite like climbing a tree for fun and adventure.

Did you climb trees when you were a kid? Do you let your kids climb them?

There was another gorgeous sunset last night, and it made for a lovely silhouette:
I just love sunset silhouettes, don’t you?

It’s another plain gray day out there. Plain gray days are not helping my ability to wake up and stay focused.
This is another shot from my trip out of the house over the weekend. This is the sort of thing that might help me stay awake and focused and all those other grown-up, responsible-type things.

I’m still feeling a bit zombified today, so here’s another picture of that gorgeous sunset from a couple nights ago:
Hope you’re having a grand weekend! 🙂

In desperate need of some decongestant, I made a trip to town this morning, and this was the sight that greeted me:
The sun on the snow was so bright that my head throbbed all the way there and back, but it was worth it to get it on film (so to speak). What a beautiful day!

Hard to believe this little tractor-lovin’ dude is so grown up.
Also? I can’t believe this picture is ten years old.

There was another absolutely gorgeous sunset last night, and I was lucky enough to get a few pictures of it:
Almost made getting stuck in the driveway worth it. (Okay, not really, but I’m trying to find a bright side to getting stuck in a barely-drifted driveway.)
Happy Friday, everybody! 🙂

Last night we had our first major snow storm in a while.
We were supposed to get five to nine inches, but from the looks of things, we got less than half that. Still, the wind has been wicked. I hate to think what the drifts are like out there.
But it’s okay – this has been the perfect weekend for snuggling up under a blanket with a good book and a cup of tea. 🙂

Suddenly they all died. The end.
