Maple tree buds!
Countdown to Spring: 19 days, 3 hours!

Vicki gave me a plant today for my renovated office space! It's a Hoya- hope this one blooms for me!

February 26, 2014


Hooray! Went out with Phoebe and Angela tonight and Angela and I finally got to exchange Christmas presents. So ridiculous! We will do better this year.

The best part of my day: the can of beets I ate for lunch, how sad is that?

February 24, 2014


My kind of Winter day - 60 degrees!

February 23, 2014


I had fun painting mini paintings today. Just trying to figure out a few ideas. Then I Photoshopped this one larger and put it on the fireplace. Kinda cool!

Ice Festival in Cripple Creek. They obviously had some warm weather because many of the sculptures were melted and some they were completely re-doing. The theme was cartoons. Not my favorite year for this!

 I came home and this little cutie was camped out at the bottom of the stairs. I tried to move carefully but I scared her and she got up. I just love the neighborhood deer.

Reason #1 why Summer is better than Winter.
In the Summer you never have to come out and spend 15 minutes getting sunshine off your car just so you can go somewhere that you don't want to be. I'm so over it.

Also doesn't it always make you feel better when you are criticized and told what a shitty employee you are. Yes, it does.
(not)


Also, a pretty picture of the snow because I'm trying to remain positive.

Spent the day laying on the couch with Minnie. Home sick with a splitting headache that just wouldn't go away. Ugh.

February 18, 2014


Lilacs getting buds! I'm so happy we have lilacs at the new house.

February 17, 2014


Dried roses.

This little sweetie lives in the neighborhood. I'm not sure what's wrong with her little ears but I think she was injured at some point. We are going to name her but we haven't settled on a name yet. Sally or Ginny, maybe. Her name is Ella-May!

Great thrift store find! Avocado enamel fondue pot.

February 14, 2014


Valentine's Day. Also, chocolate from Patsy's Candies. Yumm.

The view from my car when I was laying down at lunch.

February 12, 2014


Minnie protecting her ball and froggin' it out.

February 11, 2014


No windows in my temporary office but at least I have a skylight.

February 10, 2014


My new photo cube. I always wanted one of these.

February 9, 2014


Freezing fog makes pretty trees.

My favorite mailbox in the neighborhood so far is this stone mountain that I think looks like Pikes Peak! Also seems to have a fountain on the back - I really hope they get that going in the Summer.

 This plant used to be really big but due to lack of light in the old house it grew all lopsided and only one way. That branch of the plant recently broke off and it started to re-grow from the middle. I put the little dog in there so I could gauge how much it grows!

My wisdom was taken out today. That's my actual tooth but it was sooooooo gross. Colored for easier viewing!

February 5, 2014


This is just ridiculous. -10 right now. That's just stupid cold.

February 4, 2014


Uh, oh. Coyotes in the 'hood. Carl got one picture before the camera died, so it's a little blurry. Still cool.

February 3, 2014


A Dansk candelabra showed up in the mail for me today. We had one of these when I was a kid and I always loved it- now I need some candles!

February 2, 2014


The Super Bowl was super sad. So here is a picture I took earlier in the day of a minor skirmish in the back yard. I just love my deer friends.

Minnie keeping her eyes on things from inside where it's warm. Ugh, Winter.
