Pink Eye

After our trip, the yard demanded attention.  I mowed all kinds of things out there:  buffalo and other grasses expecially the cheat grass, sage, morman tea, rabbit brush... you name it.  The next day, I had a sore eye... I guess I got something in it.  It progressed to the point of needing mediacal attention.  This is what it looked like.  I am so happy it is better now!

60 Degree Weather

While we were in Denver over last week end, on Saturday we went to an art museum.  LOved the exhibit we viewed.  When we left we drove around through Denver and people were out enjoying the 60 degrees and sunshine!  It was awesome.  Then we had to come home over another set of snow packed roads.  On the way over the roads were snow packed most of the way and we went over Vail pass there.  On the way back the roads were good but HRH decided to go over Berthoud pass and it was majorally snow packed.  But the trip was fun.  We saw a long horned sheep right next to the road, and a wreck on the continental divide.  I think we all had a good trip.

Middle of February

The sun is shining on me in my chair at the moment and it feels so good.  I used to suffer from SAD and would be sad at times.  I think living in my house with so many windows and getting sun when ever it shines has changed that.  I hardly ever get depressed any more, which is a good thing.   HRH seems to be getting spring fever and is talking about doing some yard stuff already.  I hope he decides to paint the inside of the house soon, or he won't want to be inside.

Here are a couple of portraits I worked on this week:

Winter, Still!

It has been so cold, brrrr.  I don't even want to go outside!  Good thing HRH likes to go to town.  At first at his retirement he went everyday.  I am working on slowing that down, lol.  Traveling 7 mi. to and 7 mi. back plus driving around town equals at least 15 miles.  At the cost of gas that means that he has to subtract at least fifteen dollars from our budget.  Then, what he buys.  One day he bought a room heater, which I don't think we needed, just because he had a $20 coupon and burned to spend it, lol.  Well, I am okay with all the stuff he buys in town, mostly I benfit from it.  My bitch, if you want to call it that is his penny pinching habit, where he has not wanted to buy things cuz we don't need it or it costs too much.  Mostly it was just because he didn't want it.  So, I decided to pinch him back.  Everytime he goes to town, I buy something on the net.  I wish I would have thought of this sooner as his trips are slowing down to like two days a week, grrrr.  So far I have a new bedspread, some new down pillows and a box of white ink pens, lol.  I like this new system!

I don't have many photos of DJ but I plucked this one off the net.

What a handsome looking guy!
