    May 22nd Photo-A-Day V

    This letter was a hard one. I don’t have a volcano to snap a picture of. No vampire here. Haven’t seen a vulture either. The VIOLENT wind we are having today would be super hard to snap a picture of so, I decided that I would just snap a picture of a vine outside the front door.  But when I looked down I found a clump of wild violets.  That’s a way better picture than vine that hasn’t flowered yet. So I give you Violets. In case you want to check out a creepy treehouse be sure to read Photo A Day T

    May 20th Photo-A-Day T

    I am kinda excited about this particular Photo-A-Day T prompt because this old gal climbed up into the tree house!  Yes, I DID!!! I will totally cop to the fact that I was shaking, white knuckling the climb. I kept hearing the contractors’ warnings about the deck. Same people that built the deck built the tree house……. hummmmmm should this chunky 60 year-old gal reallllllllllly be going up here??  With only the DOG as back up?!?!? Yeah, well I promised that voice in my head a full glass of wine if she just quieted down so I could take a bunch of pictures. At ONE time there were even glass…

    May 17th, Photo-A-Day Q

    I bet you thought I would be stumped with the Photo-A-Day Q letter especially after the letter G gave me such a hard time. BUT, you would be wrong!! Q is for quiet. AND NOOOOOOO I am not going to end my post here. Although that does sound like something I would and have done. Nope. Today while Bear and I went on our morning hour and a half hike I stopped and took a video so you could enjoy the surroundings and the quiet around us as we hike. It’s different every. single. day. No matter which way we go we see something different. This is such a beautiful…

    May 14th Photo-A-Day N

    So I am trying my hardest to figure a way to use the Photo-A-Day N with the fact that I finally did it!! I FOUND an ANTLER!! Ya know an aNtler! Bear and I have been going out on a morning hike, which for me is unheard of! I am climbing rocks. I am dinged and dented, scratched and sweaty but having so much FUN!!  There is no noise other than the birds and bear and I traipsing around. Antlers or SHEDS as the locals call ’em. (Aren’t I fancy? Knowin’ all the correct terms and everything!) are hard as heck to spot! Since no one has lived here for…

  • May 13th Photo-A-Day M

    I had a fairly good idea for today’s letter but then Rosie reminded me Photo-A-Day M for MONEY PIT! Yes, I have a million dollar view. I have a craft room that would make Martha Stewart jealous. (okay, not really, I’m sure that hers is equally as nice as mine. HOWEVER, she probably doesn’t have deer that lick the door! HA! I win again!!) So, Rosie thank you so much for today’s prompt. We started to work yesterday on the decks. The contractor truly is amazed that no one has fallen through and down 2 stories. OHHOLYCRAP!! Oh SO very, very bad. Oh SO BAD. I’m on a loop in…

    May 12th Photo-A-Day L

    Ahhhhhhhhhhh today’s Photo-A-Day L letter just happens to coincide with Mother’s Day and our Anniversary! So I will take this opportunity to use the letter L for LOVE. The LOVES of my life!! Hummmm….…. should I be politically correct and add The Husband first? It is our anniversary after all.  Or should I just skip straight to Alice?? (Okay I’m going to start with The Husband; but y’all know the truth right?!?!) Cause really, I am NOT that nice! The Husband; without him the rest of my LOVES wouldn’t fall into place. Thank you for all you do. All the love you give. All your hard work to provide a…

    May 11th Photo-A-Day K

    Today’s is Photo-A-Day K is a fun photo. When we first moved up here I noticed this little sign. It’s placed just under the larger PRIVATE ROAD (the very last house on the road is us!) and under the neighborhood watch signs. There is a yellow, super small sign. Since I always felt like I was in a hurry to go somewhere or do something I never took the time to stop, get out of the car and actually READ the little yellow sign. I honestly didn’t think it would be anything of interest. Except of course why is it so small?!?! After months of driving past, I finally stopped…
