Thanksgiving Day

This is a collage of my feeble attempt at photos.  Most taken with the Droid. Despite all of my grand plans I ended up with a fever during the Thanksgiving feast.  I managed to set half the table and make 2 crocks of potatoes before I ended up on the couch, covered in blankets (I finally […]

Lamplight

Nothing cozies up Windy Ridge more than the lampposts Levi put up.  Especially in the snow.  If I would have known what a difference they made I would have had them installed a long time ago.  With a flick of a switch the house is draped in a romantic glow.

Winter wonderland

photo taken with the Droid X while waiting for the tardy schoolbus Windy Ridge has been transformed into a beautiful winter wonderland.  We are just high enough on the hill.  One mile down the road, the pavement is bare and the world is green.  It is all fun & games until your vehicle can’t make it up the hill and […]

The Lannons in sepia

Eden & Sabra look like they could be sisters in this photo, don’t they? Oh, I love everything about this photo! The contrast of Eden’s plaid & Sabra’s solid, the way their hair falls on their face, the old sheet music, their expressions,  my favorite photo of the weekend. The 5 Lannons and their pup traveled […]
