Red Brigade

H and I pass by these canoes and kayaks whenever we take one of our favorite river walks. Although they are dormant this time of year, come summer most will be cruising down the river.
Subtle Signs

I find that if I slow down and really pay attention, I can find little signs of spring in even the smallest nooks and crannies.
Fashionable Family Friday: I spy

Group shots were inevitable whenever we visited Grandma. This one of my sisters and our cousins was typical, although it appears that Sister L was a little distracted. I would love to know what she was observing that the rest of us weren’t.
Behind Curtain C



The process of remodeling our two upstairs bathrooms has begun. It’s amazing to see the inner layers of our home, areas that haven’t been exposed to light in almost forty years.
Sliced

Enjoying some fresh veggies and adding a little color to a cold and overcast day.
Fashionable Family Friday: Mix and Match

Well… I believe we each did a fine job of matching our outfits, although I don’t know why Sister S thought she needed such a large pocketbook. As for me, I wish I knew what I had been visualizing that morning when I chose that ensemble.
Early Bloomer

The tulip tree is one of my favorite flowering trees. It is the quintessential sign of spring to me. The blooms don’t last long, which makes me love them even more.
Currents


H and I enjoy taking a walk in one of the local parks on Sunday mornings. Our quiet talks and reflections set the tone for a lovely day.
Fashionable Family Friday: Clearing Brush

From the looks of that pile of lawn debris behind me, there must have been some yard work going on. I was probably supervising.
Spinners

I found these silly little spinning tops, handmade by a local artist, in a Colorado toy store last year while visiting family. When twirled, the designs blend to create new colors. I bought out the entire supply just to keep in my office for those times when I need a playful distraction.
