Spring??

Just at that moment when you think Spring may actually be here, what happens? It snows yet again :( Not to mention it dropping to -25 over the weekend. Needless to say it's been FREEZING here! I am however trying to except the fact (though this is hard for me) that we are *only* in February, and still may get some snow and cold before Spring is really truly here.

There is good news though.  I got a new camera on Friday! I was sooooooo excited that I ran around taking pictures of anything I could. So here are some pictures from the weekend -with my new camera!

Yes, my mother has an indoor greenhouse.

Mine hasn't quite gotten that big yet.

This little lady gets lots of lovin' when the auntie's and Uncle Kenneth are over!

Love this beautiful girl. 

This beautiful young lady turned 10, this past weekend... 

In case you didn't believe me about the snow and cold. 

Messing around with the new camera. 

The newest addition to my apartment: Lou the fish.

Winter Days.

 Beautiful sunsets.

 Enjoying my days off, however few they are. 

 Little sisters and nieces hanging out at my place, always makes me happy!

We are just a little weird...

Til next time! 

Days Fly By

It's been a whole year since I have posted on here. Wow! 

Life has moved on, as always. It seems that as much as sometimes I would like to have time stand still, I don't ever seem to get my wish in that area. However, as time moves, things change, and so do the seasons. The experiences that come and go will always be a part of my life. 

My lack of posting here has been due to two reasons.

1. I think I may just be the worst blogger there is.

 or 2. (and this is the one that I'm choosing to plead guilty to) That there has been a major lack of a working computer in my life, for WAY too many months.

Not to mention that I have been working two jobs this past year, and that keeps me super busy.

Anyways, let's skip the excuses. Not too much has changed in the past year. I do seem to have finally settled down from all my traveling that I've done the past three years, except for an occasional visit out of state to visit friends and family.

Here are some pictures to help catch you up on the year 2015!

Days enjoying my favorite people and the beautiful summer weather. 

Bonfires

Playing games of Risk

The little ladies... 

not quite sure what there doing here. 

Enjoying my cozy apartment.

Christmas party at my place! 

My beautiful niece and buddy <3   

As I always say.., I will try to post more!

~ Castles Of Colors. ~

  Castles of Colors 

"How I love to walk

On dried fallen leaves

The sounds of crunching I hear.

Colors of brown, red and gold

Form a carpet so rich,

The sounds are a tune to my ear.

Rake them in a piles,

like castles of color, 

And then the children appear.

As they tumble and roll,

Through the piles of dried leaves,

Their laughter filling the air.

As the cold approaches

Bringing winds that will sting, 

Say goodbye to these castles so dear.

You'll not see them again till next year."

~ Floria Kelderhouse.
