A Cold Sunset



It seems that even on cold smoggy days there's always something to photo. Loved this old tractor sitting in the snow, waiting for spring. Even the sun seems cold tonight.

What is it with Men and Directions??




I decided to buy a treadmill with my December jewelry earnings.  It was a very good month. The treadmill was delivered Friday, and Mike put it together Saturday afternoon. This bright pink warning paper was on the velcro strap in plain sight. In essence it states that if you remove the velcro strap before setting the (very heavy- 130 pound) treadmill flat on the ground, the piston mechanism and bars underneath the treadmill deck which allow it to fold up could spring open and cause injury. Which is exactly what happened, throwing Mike against the wall. His pride was the only thing injured, but we cannot get the piston to work properly now and the treadmill will not fold up out of the way. I am able to run on it and will call tech support in the morning:)

Faux Tornado and a Snowman

This billowing cloud of smoke looked like a tornado.  We were on our way to Provo early this morning to attend the funeral of a friend's father.




I spotted the snowman on the way to the church, so afterward we drove back so I could take a picture. I haven't seen many snowmen this winter.

Bowl of Circular Objects



This wooden bowl of balls sits on the family room table.  I like the different textures, such as fabric, the natural elements of seed and sticks, the rock which has "faith" carved into it, and the magazine strips. The wooden rattle is old, and is a favorite when the grandbabies come to play. My favorite? The glass door knobs, which were my Grandmother Wardle's.

Quilt Show



Tonight our Little By Little quilt group went to Brigham City to see Kaye Evan's quilts, which were displayed at the Fine Arts Center. Though a small town, this is a well-known arts center. We had a great time reminiscing over the quilt blocks we had each made to many of her quilts.  A great evening that ended with dinner at Maddox.

Kaye Evans



There were 50 of Kaye's quilts on display.

Paper Chandelier



I ordered this metal chandelier and it was delivered the other day. We hung in over the dining room table. It's very heavy and I was able to get my weight training in without going to the gym. It's funky and eclectic - my two favorite decorating words.

A Photo of a Photo



This is one of my favorite photos. It's of Jonah and I took it a few years ago at Nichols Park in Kaysville. I decided to frame it today. Now, where do I hang it? I don't have much wall space left!
