It Ain't Over Yet....

Well it seems winter is not quite done with us yet and today a few snowflakes fell and we are expecting more tomorrow and I hope it doesn't destroy the springs bloom to badly as it often does here but Easter has came and gone and soon it will be warm evenings and dining on the terrace....

Can You Feel It Coming?

I'm talking about spring, of course! The animals always seem to know exactly when it's coming and I believe that's because they still count on their intuition far more than we humans do and I don't believe that's a very good thing, we have all of our sense's for a reason and we should trust them to be right but you know the old saying, "use it or lose it!" so use your instincts and have faith in your intuition, it's there just for you....:o)

A Snow Day........

They say we could have a snow day but I think they should have at least looked outside before they made their prediction. Bees are buzzing, birds are singing the sky is a beautiful blue and everything is blooming and it sure looks like spring from here........

Spring Officially Starts This Friday

Yes, it's almost here I can feel it coming and I'm ready although I know we could certainly use more snow and rain I am ready for spring. Maybe we'll be blessed with many of spring showers and that will help build up the water sheds all I know is my favorite season is upon us, bunny season....

Happy Saint Patricks Even If Your Not Irish....

I am half Irish and I love St Patty's Day mostly for the wonderful corn beef and cabbage dinner I make and eat way too much of plus it gives me cause to wear green and red heads look good in green! So have a beautiful St Patricks Day however you choose to celebrate it, luck of the Irish be with you and Goooooooooooooooooooooooooo Fighting Irish of Notre Dame, God love ya!

Springing Forward....

We switched to day light savings time last week which is one of the signs that spring is just around the corner and I don't know about you but I can hardly wait! I am so ready for the color burst spring brings when everything starts to grow and bloom, when the air is light, fresh and scented with the blooms of spring, the time we shed all the cumbersome heavy clothing of winter to enjoy sunny days........

Rain Fall In The High Dessert.......

The rain falling here in the high dessert is a beautiful thing, we haven't had much snow fall and very little rain so still raining on day two of a four day storm it a beautiful thing to see for those of us who live here so I hope it continues all four days, I prefer snow but went it comes to water vs drought I'll take the wetness anyway we can get it.......

More Beauty Of The Season........

There are so many beautiful things to enjoy in the winter months, it's hard to choose just a couple but I thought that this close up photograph of the ice and snow crystals on these branches were not only beautiful but fascinating the way they form and cling to the branches........

And then I found this original painting of winter and I thought the artist captured winter wonderfully, I always love original art and I thought this painting is most definately worth sharing........

And speaking of enjoyment for those of you who don't appreciate winter and all the joys the season brings then maybe you should just stay inside and cozy up to a warm fireplace with someone you love, that's a wonderful way to enjoy the season.......

Don't Forget....

I went looking for something unusual yet beautiful that also reflected the season and I found this beautiful ice sculpture of an elephant family that was done for a carnival in Quebec, Canada and then we added the little guy getting a refreshing drink of cold water and who could resist a baby elephant especially with a "do" like his. And those two in lower left are to remind you Valentines Day is only five days away, don't forget to remember your special love on the special day for love because it's a beautiful thing....

Looking Up.....

Here in the high dessert of Nevada we get some very beautiful and unique cloud formations so I decided to do beautiful clouds then as I went surfing on the Internet I noticed a lot of other beautiful cloud formations. There were so many beautiful one's I couldn't settle for just one so I put a few of my favorites together and I hope you enjoy them. Something beautiful, a little sweet candy for the eyes.......

Happy New Year....

Chinese New Year that is, the year of the Ox! I'm very happy to see the year of the Rat gone, you see, I' m a Horse and Rat years are very nasty for Horses, bad, bad, bad! And it was so I'm glad it's gone and I'm looking forward to 2009, year of the Ox, the projected outlook isn't fantastic or great but it's better than last year and I survived it so I'll thrive this year at least I hope I do. I realize the economy still sucks, the realty market almost doesn't exist, the banks got bailed out again but they're keeping all the money for themselves and I do NOT want to talk about the stock market and you don't want to get me started! This blog is for beautiful things only and there is way too much UGLY involved in the stock market, especially now.

As for being at the bottom of the food chain, well, I got kicked down almost 2 years ago and I'm slowly crawling back up, right now the only difference for me is I have lots of company now....companionship is a beautiful thing;o}
