A wintery morning

Yet again I woke up this morning to the beautiful ice fog. It makes everything so beautiful. So after I dropped my son off at school I stopped and took a few pictures.

This is that the Birds of Prey center. In the spring this will be full of Canada Geese, Snow Geese, and local ducks!

This is the strings hanging of my moss planters.

A plant that is left over from last summer.

The tree in our front yard again!

bad blogger

Ok so I admit it. I'm a bad blogger. I am totally lazy and lack the discipline to keep a blog going. Yet some how here it is. I haven't taken any pictures in the last few days. We have been busy. Hubby is home for a few days so we have been just chillin' or out buying stuff either for his truck or for our vacation. I'm going to wait until at least valentines day weekend!! I am going to do my best for the next 3 weeks to NOT STRAY away from my eating. Also to do a min of 30 mins on the treadmill everyday. Starting monday of course....

I've lost my creative edge the last few days. AGAIN! I am in desperate need to make my sister a baby blanket. Baby #3 is due in less then 8 weeks. I want to make something special for this one. Like a sweater and hat! and a blanket and maybe a few toys. I not a great Aunt....Love my niece and nephew but I don't even know them.... sucks living 10 hours away.

Ok so here is a few pictures I love that I took in the last few years. Since I've neglected to take anything recently....

A photo a day...Jan 27 2010

Here is my photo for the day. Yes this is my child! Yes he is really this weird. LOL.

A photo a day...Jan 26 2010

Since I claim to be a 'photographer' I thought I would start my Photo-A-Day again. Took a bit of a break. Need something that I can look forward to everyday! So since I've missed "a few" days of photos I'll post a few.

This is my son skating for the first time. I have to get him one of those stands. The rink does not provide them. And he is afraid to go on the ice without them.

This is my wreath on my front door after the 3 days of ice fog that we had last week.

Our WEIRD dog, Zoey. She sits on her butt like that all the time. And she spends alot of time with her chin resting on the window sill looking outside.

Zoey again be WEIRD. Weirdest dog I have ever owned.

AND HERE IS MY PHOTO FOR TODAY! ok so there is two pictures for today

June 30, 2009

So this is the last day of the month. I've made it a whole month so far with a picture a day. I'm very proud of that. I tool approx 150 pictures today. Sometimes I get in the mood and I take TONS of pictures. Here are just a few of the ones I've taken.

The little spider friend that I found. Never seen a spider that looked like this.

A nice farm picture. Love this one!

The crop duster plane that kept making rounds and would tilt just enough for a good picture on the way by. I think he must have seen me taking pictures.

My version of the Bakerella cupcake burgers and fries. http://bakerella.blogspot.com/2009/06/fast-food-fun.html

One of Teresa's little pansies in her planter baskets. I love pansies!

June 29, 2009

Ok so I took alot of pictures this day and just picked the few I liked the best. So here they are! A pinecone. Thought it looked neat in the grass. Not like everyone has walked over them a million times in their life but have you stopped and 'looked' at one....

The little man-made lake that we have our bootcamps at.

A rock. Kinda looks like craters on the moon....

A dragonfly

Our crazy pooch Zoey. She is American Bulldog/Boxer. Great dog! Very smart but acts like a retard most of the time. The half wilted sunflower Austin picked in the empty lot. Thought the picture looked kinda cool.

Austin fooling around. Being a goof ball.

Cool clouds. Kinda like the ying yang symbol....

A good start and a bad ending...

Today was interesting to say the least. This morning was awesome. It was quiet and everyone was happy. As the day progressed it just seemed to get worse. "The Boy"refused to eat lunch. Red flad #1. Then he was in preschool all afternoon. When I went to pick him up the teacher tells me he fell off the swing and scratched his cheek and cut his lip. Red flag #2. So we come home and everything seemed to be fine. He played outside, rode his bike, and everything was good. We had dinner and he complained but that was the norm. Then back outside he went and rode his bike some more but he fell off and hurt his elbow. Now for a 4 year old this is something that just happens. But for mine red flag #3 was that he carried on about it for 45 minutes. So by this time I am getting frustrated and just want him to go to sleep and leave me alone. So we get the elbow all bandaged up and give him a very quick bath. Then I get him to lay down on the couch. He was asleep by 7pm. I put him in his bed and by 9pm he was awake and in the bathroom puking! YUCK! Just what I want to deal with at this point. He made 3 trips in 20 minutes just go pee. A sign of the body flushing out a bug. By 10 I got him back into bed and asleep but have stayed up making sure it doesn't happen again. Over the last year or so I find myself not hearing him in the middle of the night. So its been a rough evening. Somewhere during the day I've found time to take some pictures and I think a few have turned out. Night...

yet again a rushed photo

Yet again today I found no motivation to take pictures but I forced myself to go outside and take some. This is my favorite. I think I am going to try to take it again with the sun shining on it. I think it would look very nice. Especially with the blue sky behind it. It was taken at about 8pm with a rain storm on its way. Nothing to complain about today so I'm off to bed.....Good bye....until tomorrow

Adios mousey....

Today was my brother-in-law's 40th birthday party today and his wife and kids had a party for him. We had a pretty good time. Had steak, scallops wrapped in bacon, roasted potatoes and veggies, and cake. Great day and good food and friends. After everyone else left my BIL had to go out and get some game card for their kids computer game so I went with them. We stopped at the river to see the Pelicans. I didn't believe that you could have Pelicans in the Prairies. Who would have thought. Well it was a perfect time to go for a little walk. We saw deer, birds(lots of robins), rabbits, beaver in the river, and pelicans. It was great. So here are a few pictures that I took. Hope you like...

So after the party we came home. It was quite late. Way past "the boys" bed time. So I got him in bed and then sat down for a little me time. Then I remembered that I should check the mouse traps. The little bastard set the trap off last night and ate all the peanut butter. Well we got 'em today! HAHAHAHA.......This little bugger was so fat and big. I don't think I've ever seen a mouse that big. As I sit here typing this I can hear rustling going on. I'm not sure if its another mouse or if its the kitten playing. So I think I will set another trap tonight and see what happens. Always better to be safe than sorry.....

A mouse in my house

Sitting here last night waiting to go out I see something out of the corner of my eye. And there sitting under the edge of the stove is a mouse. It was quite large. I hate mice(among other creepy crawly things). So I went and bought mouse traps today. I don't want the task of cleaning mouse traps. BUT....since I'm the only adult in the house at this time I suppose its my duty.

Feeling kinda down today. Its finally hit that my hubby won't be home until the 15th. That will make him gone away from home for 22 days. IT SUCKS! I hate having him gone so long. Its not a normal thing for us. But his load just happens to take this long to get loaded :( I don't know how I will manage another 12 days without him. Life as a truckers wife sucks!

Ok so this is my picture of the day. I think its neat.

June 2, 2009

This is a Gazania. The flower closes up at night and opens again the next day when the sun comes up. I really can't wait til my flowers are all in full bloom.

A pic a day....

Its June 2nd, my first post. This is going to be an allover type of blog. But the main reason will be A-PIC-A-DAY. Everyday I will take pictures and post my favorite one. I'm sure I will also vent and whine on here. lol. Who doesn't do that on their blogs ;)

This is my picture from yesterday. It is a plant in one of my planters outside. It is called Chenille. I will post again later this evening with another picture.
