Backyard Visitors

Darn pests. They randomly visit our yard, but usually after dark or before sunrise. However, the other morning, there they were, bold as brass. I will be glad when summer gets here and they (hopefully) go up higher for better grazing.

My Funny Valentines

Em LOVES being a big sister to the newest member of the clan....
Claire is a ray of sunshine, and a joy
Introducing Grace, the newest grandbaby...
It was a hectic, wonderful 10+ days back helping Laura with Grace and the girls, and I wouldn't miss seeing these little faces for the world.

Snow on the Mountain!

Woke up this morning to clear BLUE skies and sunshine, and a fresh frosting of snow on Mt. Si. I was really excited to see Mt. Si so clearly defined against a BLUE sky, and then to have the river mist/fog drifting up was even better. The fresh snow and angle of the rising sun really helped show the ruggedness of the rock formations at the top.

All we can see from our place is the backside of the mountain, and the top of the "chin", or what I prefer to call The Wart because from our viewpoint it is about the size of one. But, nice view out the bedroom window this morning!
I am off to tend the newest grandbaby (welcome to Grace!!!) and won't get a chance to post until I get back. Hopefully in the midst of all the rush I will be able to get some decent shots of the kidlets.
