My neighbor Miss Julia – is a lovely barrel racing gal.  She has always been beautiful – she was born that way.  Her skills with the horses were learned from her Mom.  She is growing fast so I had to jump at the chance to get a few snaps of her in her cowboy hat and boots.  It is so nice to have them next door.  Our kitty Rosie – loves them so.

Have you ever thought about shoes as a way to prevent disease?  Have you ever had to walk miles without wearing shoes? I know that in my day I do take many things for granted.  I know I will have food, clothing, shelter and safety each day.  My family and I are blessed while so many are not.

“One Day Without Shoes is the day we spread awareness about the impact a simple pair of shoes can have on a child’s life. On April 8th, we ask people to go the day, part of the day or even just a few minutes, barefoot, to experience a life without shoes first-hand, and inspire others at the same time.” quote taken from http://www.onedaywithoutshoes.com/learn.php

Check it out and maybe you or someone you know will have a day without shoes on April 8th.  http://www.onedaywithoutshoes.com/learn.php

I love Colorado! It is such a wonderful place to visit for family fun. We love to visit my sister in law and her family each Spring Break. And of course we take in the slopes and sites! The day we arrived was horrible. A blizzard almost kept us on the mountain. We could not see a thing and the drive down was treacherous. We made it down and said a prayer of relief. We stayed at Mount Princeton resort with wonderful hot springs pools. Which is a perfect way to end the day after skiing! We also loved to see all the wildlife in the surrounding area – we saw deer, elk, coyotes, big horn sheep, a bald eagle and various birds and small mammals. I need to get a super zoom lens to capture some of these creatures with my camera next time. We had a wonderful trip. Here are a few shots from our adventure.

Spring is in the air….

March 9, 2010

I am so ready for spring to arrive. There are a few hints – here and there – that it is on its way. I found these blooming in my friend’s backyard. She says they are called “paper whites”. I like them. Spring is a time for renewal and rebirth. These clean white flowers remind me of the blooms to come.
