Today's Picture was a challenge in itself.

Jan 31st.

It's hard to believe it's been a whole month of picture taking already. I decided I would end the month with a picture of myself. Now let me tell you it is not easy taking a picture of oneself in the snow. First I put the tripod up and then added the camera. Oh dear, back to the house to read the manual on setting the timer. Well by the time I got back out several men from the garage were standing around trying to figure out what I was up to. Yes, entertainment does come cheap around here, lol. Anyhow, after setting everything, I positioned my self where I was sure the camera would catch my best side. There I am in position with a frozen smile on my face when all of a sudden the camera flops right over. "Yikes" I yell, and to the glee of my audience I flew over to make sure my precious Nikon was OK. So I cleaned it off, shoved the tripod deeper into the snow, threw my audience an annoyed look and tried again. Well to make a long story short (yes, I know it's already long) various shots of my legs, top of head, half head etc ensued. Not to mention one more camera nose dive. After 72 pictures I finally got one I could use. My audience had become bored and left long before that. So here I am standing in the snow and by this time I just thought the whole process was so funny so the smile is actually genuine.

Content or Lonely?

Jan 30th

(Here is the original post. Doesn't he look lonely and cold. Snow was blowing off the barn on him but he just didn't care. He didn't even turn to look at me. I just wanted to hug him.)

It was pointed out to me that he looked content. That's certainly possible. I don't know which but I still want to hug him.

Aww, precious!

I took this with my web cam so not to disturb the dog.
Jackie just loves this ball. Here she fell asleep while David was holding it. If he twitches she wakes right up.

Gotta have my Kit.

Jan 28th

Today's picture is of my "basic supplies" scrapbooking kit. It is loaded with everything I use on every project. You know scissors, glues, pens and the list goes on and on.It also spins to make it easier for finding things. Whenever I go to a crop or class this is what I grab. Weighs a ton but hey, you never know what I'm going to need.

Another Nostalgic Item

Jan 27th.

I was on the Cricut MB this morning talking about the old phone that is still used in the garage. I know it's dirty but after all it is in the garage.

Something New Today

My arm is still having problems so Dr. has told me to quit "USING" it. I get to type left handed only so forgive the short post. Today's picture is my first workout with the Wii My Fitness Coach.
I only did a 15 minute workout and only used one arm (weird, I know, lol) but had fun doing it. I'm going to like this.

Snowmobiles

Jan 25th

It's another freeze your butt off day! The guys got out the old snowmobiles and had them running in no time. The newer ones are fast and all but these old ones are so cool. Next weekend they are going to get even more of them going.

Jan 23-25th

Jan 24th

Yet another winter picture. I was amazed how much ice built up "beyond" the roof line. I was tempted to try and break it off but I think it's way too thick.


Jan 23rd

Friday night a few of us ladies got together and had a hilarious game of Dominos. We laughed so hard. I lost the game so that makes me the "Hostess with the Mostest" LOL!

Remember Popeye?

Jan 22nd

These Popeye characters always make me smile. It brings back childhood memories.

Bitter, Bitter, Bitter!!

Bitter cold today. I mean I found today the coldest day yet. For some reason the cold went right through me. Enough already; I want spring!

Jan 21st

On Jan 9th I posted a picture of a tractor being fixed up. Today's picture is the finished product.
What a difference.
