Snowing and snowing. We really get the snow here at this house- 5 miles away from our old house but we moved into a different "snow district". At the old house they would say 1-3 inches and we would get a 1/2 and inch - here we get 4 or 5! I don't mind as long as I don't have to go anywhere. I do feel sorry for the animals though.

My office at work mostly dismantled. Next week, I move up into the storage room in preparation for the remodel that will leave me with a smaller, crappier office with no walls.. I've had a hard and trying week

Decorating the blue bathroom with a vintage souvenir rug featuring Pikes Peak. Great eBay buy.

Fabulous thrift store find! Partially done latch hook rug- I didn't even know what the design was when I bought it because it was all sealed up. I love it! I bought a totally undone owl rug last Friday at a different Arc. I don't know why I all of a sudden wanted these but I do. I did one as a kid but gave it away to my Grandma when I was done- this one I will keep.

I bought this painting at an estate sale today. I love it! No frame and the edges of the canvas were all messed up so I secured the edges and then painted the sides black. I will frame it when I get a chance. Painting is signed by Yoō y.

Phoebe and I had a girls night at Phantom Canyon tonight, lots of fun! Sometimes I forget how fun it is to go out and about with friends! Silly me.

Green Chile for lunch thanks to Phoebe! So delicious, I could eat this every day.

So this is our street when it snows. Snow and ice days after the storm. It is my least favorite part about our new house. This and my longer commute! Pretty sunrise though.

4 inches of snow on the railing-- glad it's nice and sunny out today!

January 4, 2014


I love the windows in this house! A ton of snow out there, it just snows and snows! Looks pretty from inside. The tree is un-decorated, I just had to make my new storage bag before I took it down. The holidays are over- sigh.

January 3, 2014


Every year when I put away all the Christmas stuff I play Christmas music and un-decorate, that is what I did today. These candles were some of my favorite new vintage holiday purchases this year.
I hate to put it all away- it's so bright and sparkly. As I say, once the festiveness goes and Christmas is over, it's just Winter.. and Winter sucks. Sigh.

My lunch spot at Shooks Run Park.

Starting the year off with a picture of Minnie that reminds me of the one I took of Maxx last Christmas day- he was bathed in sunlight.


Also, this cute little deer who was peeking at me.
