Mema Day With A Sad Little Boy

This was a Thursday a couple of weeks ago, and this pic makes me sad.  This little boy had had a rough week. The day before he fell on the ice and split his lip open, then that night he got sick and wound up with bronchitis.  Poor little guy wasn't feeling too well here as you can tell! Still wanted to come to Mema's house though!

When The Weather Outside Is Frightful.....

You stay in and play!! Made up a couple of collages of some of my favorite people, grandkids, of course!

Truitts

And, of course, they are all "ours"!!




Winter Has Come With A Vengeance!!

This is proving to be one of our colder winters that we've had in awhile. Temps are predicted to be in the single digits with wind chills in the minus the next couple of mornings!  Most of the big snows have missed us in NW Oklahoma, but it was finally our turn!  We woke up to beautiful snow cover this morning! All in all we got 5 or 6 inches of that beautiful, perfect wet snow that makes awesome snowballs and snowmen.  Kids got out of school today, so lots of snow activities were happening.  Bob and I spent to morning moving furniture to the garage and kitchen in preparation for the carpet cleaners Thursday, therefore I didn't get to go out and about to take pics of the beautiful countryside, but I did get a few from my yard.

So glad I am not one of these poor creatures!!

Just A Dusting Of Winter Snow!

The Lord blesses us every morning with His beauty in the beautiful sunrises and the seasons!  Love that every morning it's a different picture!

Sunrise And Lake Pics Sunday 1-26-14

The way to start the day, with a beautiful sunrise!!
It was an awesome day for January, so this afternoon I took my camera, and we rode down to the lake to see how things are looking there.  It really makes me sad to see how the lake has changed.  2 years ago this spring a devastating tornado went through and bascially destroyed the beautiful Canadian area campground.  They have cleaned up alot of the devastation and are in the process for putting in new campsites, but all the beautiful shade trees are gone.  Then last spring Oklahoma City lakes were down, so they drained our lake until it is nearly unrecognizable.  Tragic situation for all the fish and wildlike around the lake.  Also as we were driving down Thunder Road we noticed that there has been a fire recently along Thunder Road, so more trees destroyed.  Really hope we have some good spring rains to help bring the beauty and our lake back to us!

Evening And Morning Sky!

A few more totally awesome sunsets and early morning pics in Major County Oklahoma!!

 

 

My Favorite Pics Of 2013

These are the photos that I submitted to JGM Galleries for their 2013 Blog Project.  It is a really neat project that they do each year to help people learn to take better photos and display the ones they feel are the best of the ones they have taken through the year. I really enjoyed this, and it was difficult to pick out just a few of the ones that I liked best!  I love going back over my photos and remembering the circumstances and memories that they bring back.  I especially love nature and landscape photos as you can tell!!  You also have the opportunity to view all the entrants photos.  Many are so amazing that they take your breath away! Thank you, JGM Galleries for this opportunity!
