Day 320- February 10, 2011 - Stop....Mother Nature, Please

Once again, Mother Nature decided to dump a mess of wintery white on us.
I have lost count now just how many snows we have had since December,
and might I add, we don't have this in Tennessee. This has
been a different kind of winter for us.

My road this morning was all ice with a layer of snow.

Driving was out, so I got out and walked up the street with my camera.

On my walk I noticed my neigbbors try to get the truck up in the drive.

The view from my front porch, past the holly tree was very pretty.


This was a total of 3 inches looking out past the birdhouse.
Even though I am about over all the cold (it dropped to 9 degrees at 8:30
this morning) and snow you can't help but find
some beautiful shots in the snow.

And I guess if I get tired of us being dumped on by Mother Nature,
I can take a seat and rest on my neighbors bench.

Thanks for stopping in,

The Rest of Today

Image
After my trip to town today,  visit with the doc, stopping  and picking up breakfast I  headed home.  I had dropped Dakota off at mom's for the day. He was going  to spend the day  playing with Klohe and Cheyenne. While he was hanging at mom's Lily and I chilled all day.  So much to do but I can't seem to get it in gear. Later....I had an apt for a hair cut. But I left out early to stop  at the  Mystic Heart. I picked up some healing stones there.  Entering the store I read this sign... haha Then while in there I saw this sign. From there I headed to see  Kelley, my hair stylist. This is what I was shooting for. Course, it will look different on  me due to hair color and  texture of hair.  I am good with it. I got to Heads Up a bit early  so Kelley still had a young boy she was working on and his dad after h...

Birds in the Yard

Image
 Hello friends. This morning Dakota and I sat out on the deck, it was a nice 71 cool degrees after a night of storms and rain. The birds were singing and flying around and it was so peaceful. In the pic above I am standing on the deck looking into my Crepe Myrtle at the bird house I hung a couple months ago. I had been sitting there listening to this one bird that I was not sure what it was and was not sure where it was coming from. Then I saw her, on the branch next to the bird house and she was loud! She would speak out and another bird, same talk as her would speak up from in the trees on the creek. I then realized where that noise was coming from....her and him. Then I realized why. She flew from branch to branch checking things out before flying onto the bird house. And then I realized I heard babies too. I watched him and her do this for a long time. Such a pleasure. Here is mom. Waiting, looking and c...

True Story Tuesday - The Temper

Image
Once upon a time, a long, long time ago… I had a temper! A bad one. It’s funny to think about now and to tell people since I am so not like I was back then. Now, I pretty much let things roll off my back. I get upset, I get ticked but I don’t blow like I use to. I use to say I was like a volcano, I let things build, and build then I blew… and it was not pretty either. There were doors that were ripped off the hinges because my child locked a door on me, there were holes put in the wall by my fist because I rather patch that then hit someone. I threw knifes (and not in the circus), I picked up kitchen chairs and threw them, phones ….just what ever was there that was handy. I also let other people decide my mood. Someone would pick at me, say something I did not like and I felt I had to have to last word ( I come by the last word thing honestly)…now I just figure its not worth it and I walk away. The question is, how did I change it all. I would like to say I grew up but the change actua...
