Thank you to everyone who took the time to enter the “Celebrating Spring Shutterfly Giveaway”. Many of you shared how you plan to celebrate spring and I hope that you’ve been doing just that! The weather here in the High Country has been up and down, but overall it’s been wonderful. Well, I know […]
While it has most definitely warmed up here in the High Country, the weather still likes to yo-yo. Some days it’s nice enough to keep the doors open, which the kitties really like, while other days, it’s downright icy. Although not cold enough to warrant our monitor heater being turned back on. It’s been at […]
To kick start my lack of blogging, I have decided to take part in Susannah’s August Break ‘challenge’. Funny that it’s called a break since that’s exactly what I’ve been taking for over two months now. This is just what I need, though, to put less stress on blogging so I can get back into […]

Posted in: My World Tuesday I’m sad that the Bradford Pears have pretty much passed their prime here in the high country. At least this spring I was motivated enough to get out and shoot some photos of the pearly white blossoms before they faded. Right now, I’m seeing more of the Japanese […]
I get a little too happy when the flowers begin to bloom. And I am especially loving the bursts of bright yellow frequently seen while out and about. This forsythia bush (pictured above) was just a street over from the house, I couldn’t resist popping over to steal a few shots. Okay, maybe more than […]
I’m sitting here staring out my dining room windows to see a scene engulfed by white-out conditions. The tree-lined road and our closest neighbor have all seemed to vanish, the wind gusts of up to 70mph are rocking this rickety cottage to its core. But, it’s beautiful. And for once, I can say that I’ve […]

Upon stepping through the front doors of the glass-encased oasis, you don’t quite know whether you are hot or cold. I suppose that it would be most accurate to say that I was on the brink of both, hot and cold, teetering somewhere in between. After the sweltering heat we encountered outdoors, I half expected […]
