Net Ninjas 10-19

Kennedy's volleyball game. The video is about 10 mins. Kennedy is #20

Keannon and Vanessa planned a short get away. They asked us if we would keep the girls and they would make arrangements for Kashton to spend the night with a friend.

Kennedy and Korin crafting in my studio.

Doyle had laid down to take a nap as is his habit. Korin asked where he was and I told her. She went back to our room and crawled in bed with him. The next thing we know she's sound asleep!


We had a great time!

Have a good one!

Baby Rabbit 10-17

I am so grateful for the people who moved into the house by the horses. I love them and visit with them quite often. I refer to them as my "horse neighbors"!

I was visiting with them the other night before I fed when we were interrupted by squeaking sounds coming from the pasture. Jen saw her cat with something but couldn't tell what it was. Her husband Tim and daughter Ava went out to investigate and discovered he had caught a baby rabbit.

Of course Ava wanted to keep him.

Jen held the bunny too. Her husband Tim turned him lose in the woods next to the horse pasture.

The sky was beautiful again. It was a different kind of beauty but it was still beautiful!

Have a good one!

Remi Goes Home 10-15

Remi had a 4 day weekend at her school in Colorado so the kids made arrangements to get her. Vanessa was on her way to take her to the airport and they stopped by my office to say goodbye. I asked Vanessa to take a picture of me with the kids. Korin stayed with Grammer.














When I went to feed horses God once again gave me a beautiful painting in the sky.


This is looking toward the West as the sun went behind the horizon.

This is looking toward the Southwest. I thought it was cool how the pink colors came through the clouds

A combined look of the West and South.

I needed to stop at a store before going home so I went through town. The streets were still wet from the brief shower that came through. I loved how the colors in the sky were reflected in the water.

I couldn't resist getting this shot of the Baker with the sunset.

Have a good one!

Beautiful Evening 10-14-19

Feeding the horses the sky was looking like it was going to burst with color and I was right!

I am always in awe of how the sunset evolves.

Then I turned around and saw this faint partial rainbow!

As I am catching this last shot I hear the sound of wings and see a large bird fly right over my head.

I first thought it was a hawk because of its size but then realized it was an owl. He flew to the church steeple and perched on the top.

I took this picture before trying to get closer to him but as I thought might happen he flew off.

















Here's a little surprise for you. Remi was here for a short visit! Kennedy took this picture of us with the sunset.

Have a good one!

Crazy Festival Dance 10-12-2019

Korin's dance class performed at the Crazy Water Festival on October 12th.

Korin has a yellow bow. Mom didn't get the memo it was supposed to be red 😉

In position to begin the dance.













Here is a video of the dance if you're interested. I don't think she has learned the dance very well.



Have a good one!

Praying Mantis 10-8

I saw this guy on the fence at the horses.

Such interesting insects!

Have a good one!
