MK Challenge ~ Black and White ...

Taking a Black and White photo, or converting a photo to Black and White is something I enjoy doing. Sometimes there is success and sometimes the color photo is better. I took this photo of my adorable granddaughter this weekend. I love her little freckles and I love how in the black and white, she looks so much like her momma. She is truly a joy to be around. I enjoy her spunky attitude. I love that she plays with girly stuff and the next minute she is wrestling her brothers. That is my Rylee Bug!

Snow Geese ...

It is Snow Geese time again. They started arriving about two weeks ago. So far about 1200 have arrived. We usually get about 10,000 by the time all the geese have arrived. It is such an amazing sight to see all of these geese. I just love going out to the "Rez" and watching them. They are very loud, honking and calling to each other, I presume. They seem to have leaders and followers, much like the rest of us. They stay in groups, perhaps families. They have a time table. They wake in the fields around 10:00 a.m. They fly and land on the ice and water around 11:00 a.m. Then they bob around, sometimes take a short flight, and land and bob around again. Then around 5:30 p.m. they start leaving the water to go back to the fields. So facinating. Birds of a feather... flock together.











I hope you enjoy this peek at our Snow Geese. Happy February!

Happy Valentine's Day

I love my husband, my family, my friends. And I love Valentine's Day. I don't know why. It's just fun.


Any reason not to love this day of love? We has such a wonderful, romantic Valentine's weekend. I hope your Heart Day is as fun as mine!
