White was the word of the day

The word today was WHITE. Bob was burning some old stuff that we did not need any more. It was really white. Not the kind of fire to roast marshmallows though. Am glad the little boys were gone to Uncle Tom's by that time because that is what they do when they come to visit their Papa.

The word for tomorrow is CURVES.

This ice is about to get us down. Nikki fell yesterday against her car and probably has a purple hip and Bob fell flat on his back twice today. He is not moving around so well this afternoon. The first time I did not think too much of it but the second time he really hurt his back. He took some ibuprofen so he should feel a little better. Now its supposed to rain all this next week and with the ground frozen the water will have no place to go. We will need a boat to get around.

I worry about the horses trying to walk around on this ice. They all need ice skates. Now with more water I am not sure what we will do. Maybe put them back next door. I don't know. It is supposed to be warmer but not warm enough to thaw the ground.

I found out last Thursday that Bob can not go to Burns in February. I was so upset but decided I would go along, then had this wonderful idea and it seems to be working out. Nikki is going to go with me. I will go to Marysville on Wednesday and we will go to Burns on Thursday. She will help drive. We will have fun I know. She loves horses and dreams of a day when she can have a mustang of her own. Now isn't the time but she will have fun with me. We will go to her place on Sunday and I will come home on Monday. We have wanted to do a trip together and this will do it for now. Probably will eliminate going to Albany is March is I am going to Mississippi in May.
Things work out like they are supposed to.

Have a Sunny Sunday.

On your mark, get set ACTION

You will have to indulge me and my postings today. My ACTION picture today is a Nana snuggling her 4 day old grandson - Nathaniel. Nana is daughter Nikki. I loved this picture.Nathaniel

A wide awake Nathaniel.

This is how I spent most of my day. It is so bloody cold here it was good to be inside. We played and took pictures. That was our day.

The word tomorrow is WHITE. Hope you who are doing the challenge have fun with it.

Tomorrow--------------------

BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE WORD EXERCISE

This is excise photo. You will notice the hay in the wheels and the pedals. That should show you that I have not used it to exercise for a while. But its COLD. I will though, I promise.

The word for tomorrow is ACTION. I will be glad to see what you come up with.

Nikki and little boys are here so will say adieu for today.

l Forgot about this picture. It will be hard to see but there is a white spot on the mound kind of to the left center of picture. This is not far from our house and it is a bald eagle. And I did not have my other camera. Loved watching it watching me.

I forgot again.............darn

The word tomorrow is EXERCISE.

Circles

Today the picture was circles. This old milk can has a table top that fits on it for a side table beside an outdoor chair. I started painting all the outside stuff yellow last fall. I will finish them all in the spring. Have a couple of these cans that we use outside.

A very cold day. I had just put the horses out and went to check on the donkeys. Everything that was wet yesterday is now ice. I was inching along and the next thing I knew I was on the ground. I landed on my hip and my first thought was OMG I have broken my hip. But the good news is all I hurt was my hand. Have 2 fingers a little puffy. I was lucky. My hip isn't even sore. I am a pretty sturdy old dame.

Nikki and her little boys are coming tomorrow so they can see Nathaniel. Nikki can not stand it until she gets to see him and snuggle him. They went home this afternoon. I know Heather will rest better in her own bed. I wonder how Lili is reacting to being a big sister. 2 year olds do not share their parents very well.

Hope your Thursday is blessed.

Tomorrows challenge word is CIRCLES

Thankful Tuesday

Today something wonderful to be thankful for. Our newest great grandson - Nathaniel Ryan Carmen ................... He is darling, came quickly and Mom is fine and Dad was sleeping on the couch in the room when I was there. He has a big sister Lili. Congratulations to their family, Nana and Papa too. Lots to be thankful for huh?

My challenge picture today of MUD. Mostly its water but mud under the water. It is gross. We kind of live on an island. Now its going to get cold and we will be slipping and sliding.

Slept good last night until we got the phone call from Heather. It was good to just be able to go to bed and go to sleep right away. That is a blessing. Don't ever take it for granted.

I think the horses are as sick of this water as I am. Every winter its the same thing though. I am so thankful for my polka dot boots. I have to clean stalls tomorrow. MUST. Must. It is really hard on my back but I can't stand anymore.

Hope you have a wonderful Wednesday.
