My son put up Christmas lights on the outside of the house this year. He did a wonderful job. Unfortunately, we have a huge sycamore tree in the front yard and this night one of the trucks was in the driveway so it makes it difficult to get a photo of the whole front of the house. I'll keep tyring.

353/365 - Snowmen

Monday, December 19, 2011

Yeah, we are working on covering our house with Christmas decorations. Usually, because we are so "cozy" (CRAMMED!) in our house, I don't want to decorate much. I like it simple but this year I need this - it's the only Christmas spirit I can muster.

352/365 - Tread lightly

Sunday, December 18, 2011

This was just so beautiful. Kinda scary. I stepped up on the first few steps just to see what it felt like. Pretty sturdy. I thinik I want one in my dream home. Just for fun.

Oh how I love the power poles and lines. The contrail is a bonus!

Here we were on our way to Hubs company Holiday party.

349/365 - Happy bokeh

Thursday, December 15, 2011

I wish I had time to just sit here and admire the tree. At least I had a few minutes to capture this. Now I must get to my shopping.

348/365 - I see you

Wednesday, December 14, 2011

I think, no, I know I have taken more photos of my face than...ever this year. Interesting. Maybe next year I'll include more of the rest of me in the frame. Maybe.

347/365 - Custom stripes

Tuesday, December 12, 2011

The boys had to move this baby Saturday so they could get to the Chrismas ornaments so while it was out, Son cleaned the dust off and took it for a spin. Of course it was dark so I couldn't get any photos. Now it's back it it's spot, surrounded by stuff and I can't get good, clean, whole shot. Maybe when they have to put the ornament boxes back on the shelves I can set up a photo shoot.

Another wine label that caught my eye. Is it because I am a middle child? Hmmm.

344/365 - Walk with me

Saturday, December 10, 2011

We actually went and got our Christmas tree early this year. Well sometimes we get it early but bring it home and put in a bucket in the back yard so we can wait until after Hubs birthday. Not this year. We loaded up the WHOLE family and went to our friends tree farm Saturday afternoon. The kids picked out a pre-cut one (I know! It's our tradition) within minutes. Then we walked over to the ranch to see the baby goats born two nights before. This is where my grandson is headed in this photo. After, we went home and decorated the tree with EVERY ornament we own in honor of my Husbands mother, who loved decorating for Christmas. Of course I will have to post a photo of it at some point. It's going to be there for TWO WEEKS.

This is the most comfortable place in my house and it's mine. And my husband's too, of course. Yes, I'm sensing a theme here.

I need a nap.

339/365 - Christmas at the mall

Monday, December 5, 2011

Santa's 'Winter Wonderland' has been at the mall for about a month. Not sure when he got there.

I'm still trying to get into the Christmas spirit but just haven't had time. Soon, I hope.

338/365 - Nap time

Sunday, December 4, 2011

Another thing we like to do while up at Sweetwater. Nap. In front of the fire place, in the sun that is shining in through the tall wall of windows that overlooks the deck, the backyard and the hills...

337/365 - To the orchard and beyond

Saturday, December 3, 2011

What we call Sweetwater; a little place up in Sonoma County that we have the privilege of staying almost any time we want. Of course we don’t get up there as often as we would like. Life gets so busy and we just don’t even think about it or can’t clear our schedule. When we do get up there it’s like heaven. Quiet, no TV, no traffic…just hills as far as the eye can see. I always bring plenty to read yet never get to it because there are usually others up there to visit with, hikes to go on, food to cook and eat or cabins to build. Yes, I’m hoping we can go up there more often in the future.

Thursday, December 1, 2011

We started December off right by enjoying our downtown tree lighting celebration. I'm trying to get into the Christmas spirit during this crazy, busy time of year.

The star up on the right was a bonus. I saw it but didn't think it would even show up on my phone. I love stars.

November 2011 Mosaic

What a month. I can't even write about it without the tears flowing. Just too much...

One more month of this project to go.

334/365 - Yes, THAT kind of day

Wednesday, November 30, 2011

That kind of week too. I don't want to talk, or rather write about it. I'm tired of hearing myself bitch and piss and moan. Something just has to give, soon.

333/365 - "And it was all yellow..."

Tuesday, November 29, 2011

So many tress, not enough time these days to capture all the color. These will be gone in another week probably with the winds and then the street will be all yellow.
