While our cousins in Vegas are swimming in their pool, 

we are cross-country skiing around our pool 

a.k.a. horse trough. 

Have you ever heard the song-Springtime in Alaska?

If you haven't, here's the link:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVK-PlfvGR0&feature=related  

I couldn't help but sing that song while I was looking at these pictures...not the whole song, mind you.  There is just one line that comes to mind..."when it's springtime in Alaska it's 40 below."  I know, I know, we don't live in Alaska, but sometimes I wonder.

This is our spring.

People in other parts of the nation are excited to see crocuses sprouting...

...we're excited to see the road!

Happy Spring Everyone!

It was nice growing up with someone like you - someone to lean on, someone to count on... someone to tell on!

my latest creation

On a recent trip to my favorite store (D.I.), I found a shirt that I loved.

I transformed it into a cute dress for E, with the leftover fabric for hairbows.

I love repurposing.

Our poor cat Gingey is M.I.A.  

Darn coyotes...little animals don't last long out here in the country.

It's a good thing there are a plethora of country cats to be had.

Some people even give cats in lieu of candy for Halloween.

I'm not a big cat-lover, but Gingey was my favorite.

He's 10

I love C.
