Hay rolls

Since I was raised in hay-cube country, I find these haysnails so delightful every year...


...so I pulled the car over and forced a photo op on my good-sport kids.

Road trip!

Ah, summer

In the car again?!

S wanted to make a monkey cake...

for the school cakewalk and contest

A favorite from a couple of months ago...

I'm going to miss this place

Look out world,

this girl has spunk

It's thawing!

...see the drops?

A shout out to the west coast....

Perhaps not such a good idea...

to put my desk so near the comfiest napping couch in the house! This is the view from my nap.

Backdoor view, at dusk

Think green

(outside the window there's a blizzard)

Lovely art deco-ness

I collect heart stones

These I love
