I love spring!

Love the green hues spring brings...even if they are dandelions. The azaleas and rhododendrons are just not blooming anywhere like they should this spring...I'm thinking the lack of a winter has something to do with it, sadly. The iris' are doing just fine though.

Sunny Weenie

Our miniature dachshund, Rocky, enjoying the warm breezes and eighty degree temps of this last week.

Bloomin' Spring

The trees are blooming and opening overnight here in north central Missouri. I sure doesn't feel like any March I've experienced since moving back north.

Spring is in the air here in Missouri

When I stepped outside today, I noticed how dark the sky was looking toward the east. The colors where really nice so I snapped a pic. It's when I went to edit that I noticed that our trees are showing buds...spring is right around the corner although, like so many around the country, we didn't really see a winter this year.

March 1st Self Portraits...

The sun was setting and all this glorious light was coming in my family room so of course I took advantage of it and snapped a few new self portraits as it had been a while since I'd done any. 

So here ya go~

January Recap

During the month of January, we had a seventy degree day and my grandson got his first haircut...given by me. So here is my recap plus one (love baby tushy) of my pic favs for Jan, 2012.

Traveling Monday

Caught this one on my iPad while traveling back home to Missouri yesterday morning.

Beautiful Black & White

Love this pic of my grandson, Jonah, taken on the 28th. His newest thing is to play under the kitchen table which explains the bars at the sides of this photo. I enjoy catching kids doing the things they do. He has such gorgeous brown eyes. =)

Gorgeous Southern Indiana

All of these pics were taken looking out the window and some through a windshield of our truck today. The sky was this spectacular shade of blue...I just had to take some pics while we traveled around today. I hope you enjoy these pics as much as I do!

Insect Photography

I came across this insect photographer, Nadav Bagim, today and he is amazing!!

Seventy degree day in January

Here in north central Missouri, we were fortunate to have a very nice warm day of 70°. My family and I went for a walk and enjoyed some of the outdoors. Here are a few pics taken along the way.

Some of my fav Christmas Pics

We went to Indiana to visit my daughter and her family for Christmas last month as there is nothing for us here in Missouri anymore. Here are a few of my fav pics. =)

Crazy Squirrels

Well, I had a bird feeder for birds...but the squirrels figured out how to get a snack too! They chewed the line holding my feeder up on a chain so I had to put the feeder on the patio table till the feeder gets fixed. Darn squirrels!!

Beautiful Sky

Took this on my phone today as the sky was this gorgeous shade of blue.

Wow, this is funny!

I had Taco Bell for lunch yesterday on the way back from visiting my father-in-law in the hospital and I had to take a pic of this box of my food. A picture complete with lifting and handling instructions. ;)

December 7th project...

I am still working on these jeans (the pics are how they came to me) for a friend of my son. Daniel has really gotten some use out of these britches I'd say! I am almost done with them and I'll post a pic of the finished product. I have already added denim patches underneath for stability. BTW, they are Daniel's fav jeans!

The back is really rough!!

Christmas Cake Pops!

Last month I made these Christmas cake pops from bakerella. They were colorful and very yummy!

Cedar Tree

I am so behind on posting pics so I'll post some from last month now. On December 3, 2011, my husband and I stopped at a state park in Independence, KS. While there I found these gorgeous blue berries on a cedar tree! Love the colors here!

Okay, so it has been a while...

...since I've posted, but our life has been a bit turned upside down lately. Here are some pics taken the week of Thanksgiving and on the day of. Thanksgiving day here in Missouri was gorgeous and sixty degrees!! The first two are of my family and the last two are some photos of a friend's family shoot done on a not so warm day! The wind was blowing and it was around 38 degrees with wind chill, but it was a last minute kinda shoot so you go with what you have in the weather department.

Juicy Red

Found these beautiful little red berries along a walking path today.
