Kindle
For my birthday I was given a Kindle…I didn’t think I would like one…I love to hold books in my hand, I like to turn the pages, and if it’s a really good book I like to pass it around for others to read.
BUT!!!!!
I am enjoying my Kindle very much! I have only downloaded three books, and am in the process of reading the first book…Kindle reading is really nice, you can see the pages really well, and you can turn the pages slick as a whistle, best of all I just slip it in my purse so when I have ‘waiting time’. You know—that time while Terry goes into the parts house, or searches through a salvage yard, or is at a farm auction…I can slip far far away in another land provided by my Kindle. (as I am doing in the photo…reading my Kindle while waiting.)
So I have the best of both worlds…books when I want them and Kindle when we are someplace where I am bored.
Pretty Cool this new world of Technology.

Sunday Stills—From the Heart
The Sunday Stills assignment this week is in honor of Valentine’s Day…. something from the heart.
When I was a child my Momma always decorated for Valentine’s Day. And it seemed she was always the room mother in charge of this sweet and romantic holiday. One year she created a castle out of cardboard boxes and poster board, then she decorated it with crepe paper and lace doilies and beautiful pink and read hearts.
This lovely castle sat on it it’s very own table at our tiny country school house (only 8 to 10 children where in my class from First Grade through the Sixth). Into the slot at the top of the castle every child placed their Valentines…some were store bought (if your parents had money) but most were hand-made.
This lovely little castle has sat in my mind ever since. Once in awhile I try to recreate it, but I always come up short. I guess, for it to be correct, it needs her loving touch.
My valentine decorations aren’t as fancy as hers, but they make me feel ‘the spirit’.
Happy Sunday Stills Everyone!

Hidden Pictures–Find the Coyote
” This guy was maybe 25 ft away and if there had been just a bit of greenery it would be invisible. A coyote might be fooled once with something and if it didn’t cost it it’s life that mistake would never be repeated”.—From TB from http://oneflyspictureplace.blogspot.com/
TB sent me over these two photo he took of a coyote. See if you can find the coyote. I looked and looked and looked, when they want to hide, they can very well.
You can see the head in the first photograph pretty well.
Have fun!

Good-Bye January
We are finally at the end of January. It is always the longest drawn out month. I don’t care if I have a birthday in it… it is just not my most favorite month of the year. I can handle February a little better (having the fewest days of any month helps), then in March we start farming!
So good-by January…on to February!

January 30, 2012
Finally! The end of January is approaching. Winter is gradually giving way, although we have at least all of February if not part of March.
The days are getting longer, which always helps with the winter-time blahs.
I’ve decided that I want to take a photo of the trees each month at the same time …there should be an awaking as we move closer and closer to spring.
Here is the cottonwood and the weeping willow on this last day of January!
