Snow Today

It's almost the end of May and visibility on the freeway this morning was difficult due to snow.

Snow on the windshield after arriving at work. This is the latest in the year it has ever snowed!

Snowballs at Dusk

The snowball tree has hundreds of blooms on it. Thank goodness I put off trimming it last fall!

These look like they have the texture of felt.

Black and Blue: To Storm or Not to Storm

An interesting sky - will it rain or not today? I think the weather is having a hard time deciding.

A new design for all the grandmas who spoil their grandkids.

Weston's Birthday and Lacie's Bubbles

Today Weston turned five! He was so excited. I can hardly believe he's this old.

 Lacie was fascinated with the bottle of bubbles Wendy brought her.

It was a challenge to focus fast enough to get the shot at the same the bubble appeared.

A 1960's Collage

After an afternoon training at the USOE office in Salt Lake (and a quick visit to Nordstram's Rack...) I spent the evening with my Aunt Nelda. We had a great visit. She said she wanted to give me back a piece of artwork I had created in high school. I still remember when I was in art class at Ben Lomond High and brought this piece home. When my aunt saw the collage, she immediately "adopted" it, had it professionally framed, and it has hung in her living room for most of these 30 years! It's now hanging in my living room. It may look like an oil painting created with a palette knife, but is actually torn pieces of magazine paper placed carefully to create a "Picasso"-like collage. I have to say that my art teacher wanted it too!

See Jane at Work

Joanna brought her new baby, Jane, into work today. She's six weeks old and such a sweet, darling baby - all that HAIR! Cathy and I accompanied mom and babe while they visited other departments. Then I was able to tend her for awhile.
