We have a lovely blanket of snow right now. It started coming down yesterday after church and stopped a little later in the afternoon. It feels so calm and peaceful when it flutters down, I love to watch it. I also love Christmas lights in the snow, they seem more magical to me.
A few nature pictures from the day after Thanksgiving. Lots of tree pictures for some reason, I couldn’t choose just one.
Here is my new nephew! He is a cutie! Congratulations Matt & Cherise for being such great troopers though it all!
He was 8lb 2 oz, 19.5” long.
I hope to have more pictures from my brother in a couple days.
After almost two days of tough labor my little nephew Holden Matthew Friesen is finally here! I am so excited I had to post the news. As soon as I get pictures and more info I will share!
Time to catch up, if it’s not too late. Todd & I spent five days over the holiday weekend with his family. It was a lot of fun this year because Todd’s brother Keith & his girlfriend Samantha flew up from Arizona as well as Todd’s Grandma from Michigan. His sister Kali lives in the area and stayed for a night too, it was a full house!
We had two turkeys this year, one barbequed (pictured) and the other oven roasted. The BBQ turkey was done about an hour before the oven one so we had that as the appetizer. I didn’t get one big picture from our Thanksgiving dinner because we all couldn’t fit at the table :)
I have few more pictures to post tomorrow.
Yesterday afternoon I took a lovely stroll through Everson with my camera. The sun was shining, the clouds were billowy, and the birds were chirping (maybe only in my head)…a beautiful day the Lord had made. I knew I wanted to get the flags lining Main Street for Veterans Day, but it turns out there are other cool things in Everson to photograph.
Oh, the tractor picture. I had to take it because it has my current last name and my maiden initials…only if you know me :)
I got up this morning somewhat early for me. I have been sick (the flu & colds) a lot in the last couple months and because of it my sleep patterns have been disrupted and I have been sleeping in late. Todd would probably disagree that I even have a sleep pattern, but I think I do or did :)
Anyways, this morning there was a light layer of fog and with the sun shining through it was just beautiful. I didn’t quite capture the depth and colors (so you get sepia) with my camera but the idea is there. I was also very surprised to see my white delphiniums in full bloom, one full stock and a second with buds.
This picture is about as spooky as I’ll get. I did make myself into a zombie on Picnik, but thought it was a little too freaky to post. Halloween is probably my least favorite holiday, other than silly costumes and candy, I’m not really into ghouls, goblins and witches.
Tonight we are helping out at our church with games for the community, should be fun. Afterwards we are watching a scary movie with our small group at our house. A little nervous about that one, horror films don’t exactly fall into my favorite movie category.
Hope you all have a fun & safe night!
The last little bit of color in the yard, soon to disappear until next year. The red leaves of the burning bush are always spectacular, I look forward to seeing them change every year.
It’s been awhile since I have posted anything, a little unmotivated I suppose. I did have some fun with Picnik after playing with Cheesecake & Mosey the other day.
