On our evening walk we see....

The perfect rope swing tree.

This is 'onion grass'. The neighbors were mowing and the smell was really wonderful!

 I worked hard to capture a shot of one of these little guys...they were running from one side of the road to the other all along the way.

We look forward to our evening walk..well 'any time' walk around this neighborhood. Quite beautiful.

October....



On our way home from Mountian View we stopped by the Lake. Using the timer is such a nice
perk to have when there is no one to take the picture but making to your spot
in time evidently detracted from my smile ha ha! We really were having a GREAT day!




Brothers and Sisters come together to visit Papaw during his illness.



October....

Summer Fun

Well this has taken me far too long to post - had one problem after another, so I quit. Not all the pictures I selected would download, then one doubled and I can't delete it so....it is what it is. I'm done :) sheesh
Can you say - CUTE?

Bug catcher..... (there are more where that one came from, Alanna)

Caleb and Alanna in our back yard Drats....gathering before loading and leaving CO

These days don't we all have to gather round the computer for something interesting

Happy Birthday Jenna - time spent in the gorgeous mountains of CO

Hold still just ONE more minute :) yeah right ha ha

LOOK a new picture - for our blog post (cindy, are you surprised?)

It worked! I was able to put this adorable picture of our sweet boy after an enjoyable ride nibbling on a fruit treat. LOVE that face! I'll try to do better - me and the camera haven't been hangin out much together. Time for a change and I really need to add a new picture for our 32nd Anniversary! One will have to do for tonight though. This was a big deal sheesh ha ha ha (actually thought I may have forgotten how this whole blog thing works lol)

Hint of snow on Christmas morning...

Just a tiny dusting of snow was on the ground this morning - very pretty.

Rainfall records in just under 2 days -

This creek was even higher a few hours prior to the picture but it was still overflowing it's banks as we passed on our way to town. Earlier we couldn't even pass by on this road as the water was covering it just enough to cause concern.

From the deck you can see the heavy run-off in one of the 2 streams that run through the yard - we wound up with several other streams due to the abundance of water that ran off the ridge. It sure sounded great!

Wow!! Access to the internet....finally!

Crisp Fall morning from pictures taken a while back I haven't been able to post.
This is what we see most every morning from the deck when I had to heat the water on the camp chef, it's simply gorgeous. Looking to the right...the west side of the yard. The large rocks are intended for the retainer wall so we can hopefully get the driveway soon.

Back to the left a bit

A carpet of acorns out front

Love these - now a days the seeds are sprouting. Just what we need, more trees!

Hope it doesn't take that long before I get back to the internet...have missed this!

Merry Christmas Everyone!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JENNA~~

Happy Birthday to our sweet girl! You are still our dark haired beauty who continues to be reflective, thoughtful and full of unconditional LOVE for everyone! You are a darling wife, mother and daughter, the one we can turn to for just the right word or phrase for any occasion and it's always perfect. A ray of sunshine and I can't wait to see you and Treyson next weekend as we celebrate with Ellie! Yippie.... Yummy!!!! We had to sample your peach pie. It was a GREAT idea by the way. Love you

Have a Wonderful Day as we ALL celebrate the day you were born. May I say, that was a LABOR day weekend I'll never forget hee hee.....

You get the picture.....Happy Birthday!

Brace yourself...we have sheetrock!

Looking from the fireplace back through the kitchen. The hall to your right goes to our bedroom and downstairs to the basement. Coming in from the garage. Pantry just ahead.

Kitchen which opens to the deck.

Starting to look familiar??? Family room from the kitchen.

Going in the front door.

Upstairs loft looking from the front bedroom doorway through the bonus room that simply separates the two bedrooms at the top of the stairs. You can see a doorway for a hall closet to the left and the doorway to the bathroom to the right with the second bedroom to the back. New to the front room is the view of the dormer at the top of the room just above the porch window.

This is the upstairs bonus room looking out to the west over the driveway. Bathroom is to the left with the front bedroom to the right.

Outside view of west dormer...I am so pleased with how it looks! Notice the wonderful trees and how tall they are.

Yesterday Joe and Bo worked to start the front porch and were able to get as high as they could reach before getting out ladders.
