My Husbands Dream


Driving around one day we seen this truck in a car lot. Of course it being a Ford, we had to stop and look at it. It is a 6 door extremely extended excursion. If you can see the price tag, it is only pocket change of $95,000. We were told that it took $50,000 just to stretch it out like that.

Even the rims are cool! So my husband says.

Could you imagine the gas on this thing. Every 20 miles you'd have to stop and fill up.

So Done With Snow


It is another day of snow. I am so ready for spring. I like the snow at some point, but I am tired of being cold all the time.

My little mushrooms are about buried, their little noses covered in snow.

I did get a couple cool pictures while I was out playing with my camera.

The thickness of the snow on the pine.

Emily's little snowman, actually looks like a snail :)

And just a random picture of one of my wind chimes, which were really singing today.

Tax Time

Oh that favorite time of the year that we all love. The refunds, or lack thereof. As we get older and our children move out, our refunds get smaller and smaller. But hey, we haven't had to pay in for several years.

Then to decide what to do with the money. Do you use it for something frivolous? Maybe a new computer. Or pay bills? I know a few people that use it to pay property taxes. Either way, it is something that has to be done.

Sick Day

Spent most of my time home in bed, seems like I slept forever. I feel a bit better, but not good.
So to make me feel better, I took pictures of flowers that I purchased from Wal-mart. Yes, Wal-mart. Not exactly the best source of flowers, but they were just what I wanted.

I am not a big fan of roses, I would rather have them in my yard than a big bouquet. I prefer to have a mixed bouquet, possibly with a rose or two mixed in.

But I favor carnations more.
They just smell better and I just think that they seem to last longer. I am looking forward to spring this year. Last year I didn't plant anything in my gardens.

Tired of Snow

It has been a quiet Sunday. Was planning on taking a road trip, but decided to stay home due to the snow. This is about the only thing I have to post today.

Someday interesting will come in to play.

Rough Week

So another day missed. I was so tired last night that I just didn't want to do anything. It is rough when you have four weeks off from work. It was such a long work week, and I even had a day off in between. One more reason I need to get off my tukus.

Although I did go out and take a picture of the moon. Didn't turn out so well, but I think I need to do it with a tripod. Which is what I wanted to do tonight, but guess what...no moon.



So here is the result of last nights pictures, the first one is a slow shutter night option, took 5 pictures at once and combined to make one, and the last two are a night option with a fast shutter, but would be best if I had a tripod to keep it still.

I knew it was going to be hard to try and find something interesting to blog about, especially in winter and short days.

Just Give Me Something to Blog About...

Admit it, you sang that didn't you. Maybe in the voice of Bonnie Raitt? In case you are too young..

Which is why the title. I knew that I would have difficulty trying to come up with interesting things at this time. Not that any of my blogs are interesting, but hey, it's something.

So my oldest daughter was here with her boyfriend today. They don't have internet at home so they come suck off of mine. It's ok though. I guess they came over to update a game on XBOX 360, then play it online. Did a little rearranging in my room downstairs, too bad they didn't hook things back up the way they were supposed to. I told them to leave the tv where it was, but they didn't bother to hook anything into it.

One is on the XBOX and the other, a laptop. And they had no light on, that is just the flash from my camera.
