Today

  I realize that posting again so soon is rather shocking but today I awoke to a white world!  It was beautiful and my sweet husband delayed leaving for a few minutes so I could go out with my camera. I think we got a good 2 inches! So rare here….

I think I am getting rusty with my camera though :oP I need to get it out more but I did manage to get a few that I thought I would share

The view out the backdoor: 

The view from the front:

I found the contrast in color between the weeping willow and the incredibly blue sky to be fascinatingly beautiful

Another tree and my attempt at sun flare

  

And my not-as-successful-as-I-had-hoped  water droplets:

   

Coming next *should* be more vacation pics  :oD

A start

  Well, as I decided to post a pic of each of the kids from our vacation….. Here are the kids all bundled up for the cold  :o)

 

 

Confusion and delay

  :oD  Some of you can probably guess what movie kick we are on right now… Yep, Thomas the Train. It is wonderful for sick 3 year old boys. :o)

  My good intentions of more frequent updates, of posting vacation pictures, etc…. have remained that…. just good intentions.  No matter what I have tried to accomplish I met with confusion and delay. From some little person accidently forgetting that they weren’t supposed to touch my USB cord for my camera and losing the little adaptor end, to sick kids, to a million other mishaps, I just have not been able to make my intentions into reality.  :o(  We did just find the USB adaptor thing and so the pics are on the comp but, as I sat down to sort, edit, and post them, my little guy (who isn’t feeling well) woke up and needed me. As the kids are still sick, I am not sure having them on the computer is getting me that much closer. *Sigh*  So, I have decided not to promise any more posts ever…. 

  I am currently trying to evaluate my need to edit pics before posting. It really slows me down and makes it harder to get them posted. So, the question is, will it drive me nuts to see them on my blog un-edited or can I just enjoy having more frequent posts? I feel the need to say “Hi, my name is B and I am a photoshop addict”  :oP   It is the same quest for perfection that haunts so many aspects of my life. Nothing I do is ever good enough for my standards. I guess I will need to tackle that to….. <rolling eyes>  Along the same lines, I need to sort the million pics on my computer and delete the ones that aren’t up to par, edit the ones that I need to edit, and get them put on CDs so I don’t risk losing them all again.  I am not good at deleting pics that are mediocre. Decision making is not my strong point :^)

   Well, the aforementioned sicky is hungry.

Toodles!  ;^)
