Beautiful Fall

I took these pictures this fall and forgot about
them. I went around my yard and got some
of the colors of our fall. I wasn't going to take
pictures of my purple cornflower, but I liked
the way you could still see just a touch of purple
with the brown.

Winter's Here

I haven't been able to take very many
pictures since it has gotten cold and so
snowy. I put this bagel out the first part
of November. I was a little discouraged
because no birds came to eat from it. Then
I was looking out the window and saw this
sparrow. I was so happy finally a bird came.

As I kept watching I saw the red finch in

the tree. It was so pretty.

This little chickadee came a little later. It was

so cute.

Then as the time went by I was able to get

this picture with the finches and the little

chickadee together. They were so

beautiful and interesting to watch.

While I was watching the little birds there

was a commotion over in my neighbors trees.

I couldn't see them very good so I got out

the binoculars and couldn't believe it when

it was robins. There they were in the tree

during one of our biggest snow storm. Does

this mean spring is here or are they just

lost and crazy. I looked up in my bird book

to see more about them and they actually

can winter here. And I thought they only

came here in the spring. Silly me.

Fun with the grandkids

Being a grandma is such a fun stage in life. The
little grandkids are great. Sometimes they are
a challenge, but always sweet. The house and
my nerves take a hit, but the rewards way out
measure the setbacks.

What a mess! My bamboo pot is Isaac's favorite

place to play. He just loves dirt. Playing in it

and eating it. Silly boy.

Cole came early for Christmas and the kids

thought helping clean the kitchen looked like

tons of fun.

Just before Thanksgiving I rode over to Boise

with one of my friends. Cole was coming home

for the holiday so I had a ride home. I love this

picture. Little Abe is right there doing every

thing Brayden and Carly are doing. He is so

cute and doesn't let anything get by him.

Here Carly and Brayden were play fighting and

Abe was right there to get into the action. The

kids are so fun to watch.
