Evening

Here's some of the people I spent the evening with.  We were celebrating my sister-in-law's birthday!

 

 

It's going to take more than one photo today because we had a great time.  It started at a local restaurant called The County Kitchen.  We had some good food while we listened to a band called Olds 88.  They played music from the 50's and 60's.  You can even get up and dance if you want, but don't go expecting to just get a table because you must have a reservation! They sang a special happy birthday to Jenny!

Then we all ate cake!  This strawberry cake was created by my baking niece Aimee.  It was just as delicious as it looked.

Fresh

This morning there is a fresh coat of snow!  Winter just refuses to move on!

 Because life got in the way, I missed a few photos of the day, but for the moment I'm back on track!

Partial

First batch of applesauce today yielded two quarts and a partial quart that I was able to fill with the next round! 

It's been a crazy weather day.

Just yesterday if was so warm Parker was able to stick his toes in the lake and we did some picnicking and kite flying!

Fly

I wouldn't mind being on one of these, especially if its headed to somewhere tropical!  On a positive note it was almost tropical here today with temperatures in the 60's!

Chair

We call this chair the throne. It came from an auction and Stephanie used it in her college apartment. It now sits in a bedroom here on the ponderosa. I am trying to get my niece to take it to her college apartment. It's very vintage and it needs a new home or possibly new upholstery!

On my mind

Spring--with sun and warmth and playing in dirt!

My name is . . .

Icy

It's a little chilly on the Ponderosa this morning. 

 It's not a good day to sit on the porch

 or use your windshield wipers

 or to be a duck

 or a cow

 It's not a good day to be under trees because limbs are crashing!

But on the positive side it is a good day to practice your photography skills!
Especially when most of your shots are made from inside a nice warm truck.

Something borrowed

It will always be the Upper Cumberland Regional Library to me!  I did not like that change.

Slice of Life
Today, on Dr. Suess’s 110th birthday day, I am reminded of this memory:
When I was little and had just learned to read, I begged my Dad when he came home for lunch to let me go back to his office and “help him work.”  He usually let me go!  I  “worked” for just a little and then I hightailed it across the street to the courthouse and the room that was the library.  I spent the afternoon sitting on a stool reading from a shelf of books--many written by Dr. Seuss.  My favorite one was Horton Hatches the Egg.

Now when I was six I thought I was getting away with this but looking back I realize that my Dad didn’t have much work for me to do and my stool was aways sitting right in front of the shelf I loved.  Do you think maybe Miss Ruth, the Librarian saw me coming and put it there?

It's time for a month of photos.  Here's what you'll see.

And even though I don't plan to participate in the Slice of Life this year--I'll throw one of those in occasionally.
