The Great Harvest


Our new addition to the garden...
Pink Lady Apple Tree.


It came with a very small apple growing at the top.
Perfect for grandchildren to look at but not touch.



This apple tree was like a our new "child". 
We took so many pictures,
 it was hard to pick which ones to post!


After reading and learning about when and how to pick apples, it was time.


You twist, pull and it should 
come right off.



It was small but packed with so much flavor.

I'm already anticipating taking a juicy bite of an apple, next year.

End of the Year


Remember when you were young 
and collected buttons?

There were all kinds of buttons...
funny, thoughtful. even political. 



Then came bumper stickers.

Again, some funny, thoughtful or
political.

With computers, came, what are called Memes.
They are catchphrases that are passed on to others via the computer.

It's the end of the year and I have collected a lot of Memes. 
Now it's time to 
clean out my computer and start fresh.

So here it goes...
some funny, some thoughtful and
some political.


















































If you have read ALL of these Memes,
you probably know
me a little better, now!

First Day of Spring (?)

Tom and I took a quick trip up to McCall, 
where we have two vacation rentals.

It was a good time to check on them.
McCall has had a record breaking snow fall, 
this year.

The ride up was so beautiful.
Cold but sunny!


My heart always starts to pound and 
beats faster, when I see this sign.

I love it here!!


This is the entry walkway to the front door 
of The Thomas, one of the homes.
Look at all that snow!


This is the view from inside 
The Christine, the other home.
 A huge snow pile.


Our neighbors don't mind all the snow.


We drove around the town to look at all the snow.
As you can see, the roads were bare and dry!

But the piles of snow made for some interesting
pictures.


This is the same house above and below.
It's buried in 5 ft. of snow or more!



This poor, cute house, had all the snow slide off
it's roof and landed in the front yard.
Good thing they have a covered front porch!


Snow plows don't mind where 
they put all the snow.
This house has it's view blocked by a pile of snow.


The next set of pictures are the same,
only I cropped and put a red arrow on one.

This is the frozen Payette Lake.
Beautiful!

Look closely and you can see a man and two dogs.
(don't worry if you can't. I couldn't either)


This picture below should help find them. 


Here I blew up and cropped the picture.
Yup! A man and two dogs!


On the way home it was interesting to 
see all the equipment that 
the farmers used, all snowed in, 
just waiting for the  snow to thaw

Tractors...


Sprinklers...



Cattle herding pens...




Once down from the mountains,



it was more like...


The First Day of Spring!
