about there not being any snow we finally got a little bit.
Not a whole lot but enough to play in a little. I'm hoping it doesn't all melt before we have a chance to go hiking over the weekend. We've been itching to see what kind of wildlife tracks we can find up the mountain.
I took a bunch of nice macro pics early this morning. I'm planning to do a small section of our hallway in framed pictures I've taken here locally. Seasonal changes and that sort of thing.
Speaking of pictures... I realized not too long ago that when I die and my kids look back at the pics they have from when they were little they are going to think they were orphans. This is because I'm always behind the camera and there are no decent pictures of me anywhere.
Its partially my fault. I believe without a doubt that I am the most not-photogenic person on the planet. Add to that the fact that when I take a picture of someone I love it looks like this...
and they take pictures of me that look like this...
The proverbial far away picture of the mom doing some sort of menial task. Thanks guys.
And then there are moments like this...
Mac Daddy was really trying to be a good guy and take a decent picture when one of the little big bastards brats had to get in on it...
but its okay...
the bigger they are... the harder they fall...
Disclaimer... no children were hurt during the filming of this snowy day war zone. Its normal around here for people to be tackled down by mom. It happens all the time. It seems to amuse her. We think she watches too much football.
Anyway... I have a few projects going right now that I am really excited about. Things I've been wanting to work on but have put off for one reason or another and I've finally decided to just take the time to do them.
I also have 3 or 4 patterns that are completed and written up but need to be formatted. There's certainly no shortage of work to be done. I think I'll put on another pot of coffee.
Have a great weekend and take a little time to do something fun... work on a favorite project... go for a hike... or play a favorite old song a little too loud.
At least you can still take him down.

Your son is looking so grown up! Madness. Glad to see you can still take him down when the occasion calls for it.
I love the triangle/diamonds shaping up in your knitting.
Enjoy your hike.
