Walk with ME

I thought today I would take you on one of my walks...





I have been walking since our last snow on April 10th. I have really enjoyed taking pictures of all the signs of springs as I walk. I have been working up to my bigger routes. So today I finally felt like I could handle a 3 mile walk. So I went to the lake & of course I took my camera along. I hope you like the pictures. I was fortunate enough to see some wild life. Just as I was leaving a Gray Heron landed. I was thrilled. I will share with you the amazing tranformation this place takes on in late Spring & early Summer. It is so beautiful & so full of life then.
Thanks for coming along!

Signs of Spring

Yesterday I went walking after we got some light snow Wednesday night.
These pictures were the motivation to go walking.
I love taking my camera & capturing the world as I see it that day!
We truely live in a beautiful world...

Hinckley Challenge update....

My Progress so far...

Problem: a PILLOW that is too FLAT

Doug's Solution: make 2 pillows that are really flat into 1 FLUFFY pillow!

Procedure: Tear open 2 pillows & shred them. At first Doug tried scissors but Sierra showed him tearing off chunks was much easier & more efficient





By the time they had shredded 2 pillows....
it looked like they were in the middle of a cloud.





Sierra looked so angelic on her cloud!



Then Doug stuffed about 1/2 of the stuffing back into one of the pillow cases & sewed it shut. and he had a very fluffy pillow indeed!





Can you tell there is not A LOT going on around here to tell you about.. but I wanted to add something new! Wendy

Easter Outfit

Well turns out that I was still suffering from the NASTIEST OF FLU BUGS EVER. SO I have yet to wear my Easter outfit.
But Sierra wore hers & it was lovely!!



Here is a closer look!!!





The best part of this outfit is that the beautiful silk oriental looking skirt was the Bargin of the Century. When Sierra & I went to Loveland for a "ski trip"... We don't ski!... so we went shopping & in Coldie Water Creekie we found this skirt. The tag says $98.00 reduced to $60.00 and the day we found it clearanced at $10.00. Then Yellow is Sierra's favorite color so we decided a lovely pale yellow would be nice color to accessorize with the rest of the outfit!! And you can not clearly see it but she even has yellow & green bands on her teeth for Easter.

Maybe the Sunday after Conference I will get to wear my out fit!

Easter traditions

Well this year for Easter we Doug & I were sick. Some sort of NASTY FLU BUG!! Doug had it for 3 weeks & I for 2 weeks. Regardless we managaed to do a little Easter shopping & at the last minute dye some eggs!


Doug liked dying yellow eggs mostly! We had quite a few by the time we were done!
We love dying eggs but not eating the hard boiled eggs so much. So we boil about a dozen & then just dye the rest of our raw eggs for fun. The boiled eggs get a dot on top so we can identify them later for potatoe salad.


The Easter bunny was quite generous. Sierra & I got an Easter outfit with jewelry accessories & Doug got a huge bath tub duck. He has been into yellow ducks lately!!
and of course far too much candy!!!


It was a nice Easter!! We woke up to snow but it was melted by late afternoon & it was nice to get some moisture for the plants. My tulips are still making their way through the soil. Someday soon they will make their debute


We hope you & your Family had a Happy Easter & celebrated our Savior.
