it wasn’t so far away! I’ve had the privilage of wandering through this store admiring all the eye candy and creative pieces of art work. I’ve not had the privilage of

taking any of the classes but vowed to do just that someday. I hope in the not TOO distant future. If  you have the chance to be in their area you should check them out.

Jim made a small rock border garden (to plant all the stuff for salsa) near our other small garden bed. What was originally a flower garden is now

a salad garden, spinach, buttercrisp, red leaf, and romaine. Together, we finished planting and securing it from the rabbits that live in the row of trees at the back of our yard today.

Just in time before it started raining again.  Here are a few photos to share… One from the day a few weekends ago when he made the garden and today. Ty loves it

when we are in the yard working. He wanted a shot of him too.

I just had to share… This morning, while I was at a traffic light on the ramp off the Interstate, after I took Calvin to school,

I casually look over at the car to my left at the occupant sitting in the passenger seat and thought is that a dog? Looked away and

quickly looked back with more intent. It was a dog. Dressed in a SUIT with a TIE! I kid you not! And he was very serious too,  dignified really.

Never moved a mucle, just sat there looking straight ahead. No gawking out the window, fidgeting around for this dog… A real no nonsence pooch…

Once I got my head around the reality that it truly had a nice suit and tie on I had myself a good laugh. But the real laughing started once I shared with my sister, who I

quickly called. We came to the conclusion he was probably on his way to a job interview!

It’s things like this that makes life so interesting… Isn’t it?!

Everyday has it suprises and joy!

CHEERS!

Photos from Calvin’s Archery Tournament… This was his first tournament. Over 1000 shooters and it went extremely smooth and quick. Fun event to watch him participate in.

So I went out with my camera and tripod to snap a few shots of our Christmas lights, last night, in the DARK, and COLD. I had fun jumping in a few and making some blurred exposures. Play, everyday!

I was able to get some photos of a few of the homes on the tour before it got dark. Some of the color is off due to the low light.

Look what a great sport Santa is!
