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.

Forgot

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.

Girls. On Monday


These are my girls. We still get an egg every day. Some of the other girls are banty size so their eggs are little. Just takes 2 per normal size egg. They dug up the hay string. Don't know how it got there. So this is my girl picture. Tomorrows word is MUD. That will be a challenge because we have a lot of snow on top of the mud. Who knows what it will be by tomorrow.
I got my medication for sleeping so tonight I will sleep. Bob is taking my car to work tomorrow so I will be sleeping in. It sounds very good at this point.
Hope your Tuesday is peaceful.

I don't know what I was thinking - technology. My brain went in slo mo. This is all I could think of beside the technology of my new lens on my camera and eagle pictures below here. They were awesome to watch and to look at. Not too many swooping over the lake but got a couple. They were spectacular and we had a wonderful time watching. We found the best viewing on Hi 97 on the east side of Lake Couer d'Alene at Beauty Bay. I had to walk up the highway a bit to get most of the pictures. Lots of people there doing the same thing. I should have dressed warmer. I did not know I would have to walk outside.






There are 2 in this picture. There is an immature eagle - no white head yet - in the tree beside the one in the top of the tree.



























Tomorrow the picture of the day will be GIRLS. Another to make my mind go loopty loop. What was I thinking?
A fun Sunday. Hope yours was as good.

Brought by the letter M for Mountain

MOUNT SPOKANE is my letter M. It was shot from over on Brooks Rd. near the end of the runway from Fairchild with my new lens. If the house next door to the north wasn't there, I could see it from my kitchen windows. BUT, it is there and I can't see it.

The word for tomorrow is TECHNOLOGY. How my mind came up with that word is puzzling me this evening. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm. I don't even have a clue at this point. Good luck to Andrea at Mustang Saga, Anita at Snips and Snails and Puppy Dog Tails, and Nikki at Life with Boys. They are the ones I know. If you read my blog and are doing it let us know so we can look at your pictures.

Pet some noses this morning. I thought about mud but it is so depressing to me. Its horrid. Katie and Cameron came out today and pet the horses. Liberty let Cameron pet her nose and rub her neck. I told him he was elected to work with her then. She is particular who lays a hand on her. She tolerates Katie too so she has a project. Abby was glad to see her person. I must clean stalls but tomorrow is church and then we are going to go over to Lake Couer D'Alene to see the eagles. I want to use my new lens so we can see them better. All that is contingent upon Heather not having the baby tonight.

Have a great Sunday. Whatever, I intend to.
