It's the Shades For Me

 

This baby right here is a mini to her mama.  

Sassy through and through, cute as a button, hard headed, 

but with the sweetest heart ever.

The fish were biting, but the goldfish were calling her name. 

 

Thankful for my daughter & granddaughter who both share their photographs with me. 

(If you look closely you can see my other great grand girl fighting with her fishing pole)

Impatient Thoughts

 

 

My favorite river bird.  I would love to have just a tad of his patience. 

I hope everyone is doing well.  I have missed catching up with all my blogging buddies, and I hope I can get back to what I love soon. 

I have just about completely stopped taking photos because I am so aggravated with my camera and new zoom lens.  Sounds pretty lame, but it's mostly just being impatient.  Have you ever just thrown your hands up in the air and said enough already?!  LOL...

I'm going to take a new tact and put the lens up until I can figure it out.  

Meanwhile, the long, hot days of summer are here, and I am not for it at all!  I'm already counting the days until fall, but I still give it the old college try and get out and about at least to mow and go buy groceries.  

Everyone have a good week!

Zoom, Zoom, Zoom, Zoom

 

Trying out my new zoom lens and it's looking like I am going to need a few lessons!  :)

First and biggest problem so far is seeing sharp through the lens, but the photo turns out blurry.  

Would be nice to see an eagle, but not today. 

Turtles doing what turtles do.  Look how smooth that piece of wood is.  Looks like this one is a favorite sun spot. 

And then the snow and ice came.  Enough already! 

Mother Nature was playing some wild havoc on people (and animals) this past fall and now winter!  

Little Man is not amused, but pretty happy about the extra grain and hay he's getting.

It's Not Over til the Chubby Lady Cleans

 

Well, the week started with rainy weather and ended with more of the same. It didn't slow anyone down though! I am thankful for that!  This was the scene after Charlie Brown movie night at church.  I love that little movie- but I was amazed to find out it is 55 years old!  I watched it when I was growing up and again when my children were little and now when I am a child at heart.  

The kids seemed to enjoy Cookie Night, and I am very thankful that I found more sprinkles in the freezer because one child decorated one cookie with an entire jar of them.  She was proud of that cookie too. 

Christmas Eve and Christmas Day were both fun filled and loud!  Mark and I both were exhausted after everyone went home.  Well, he'll deny it, but I won't! 

I hope all who celebrate have and had a wonderful holiday season.
