There and back....

 




Sunday afternoon I took off for a drive to the other side of the state into the Kenosha area to see and meet Aurora [Rory] for the first time. 

The trip takes me at least 4 hours. But it is always so worth it to walk into Megan and Eddie's welcoming arms.

Of course this time, I got to snuggle a new grand baby! You will just have to imagine the joy and love that glowed through my body as I got to hold Aurora....Rory for the first time.

It was purely magical and breathtaking. We women [and many men for that matter], absolutely melt in the presence of cooing baby. 

I can't post photos until I ask permission from the parents, but there was a few of me holding her and looking like I'd just entered baby wonderland.

My whirlwind ended after lunch on Monday and I drove back home straight through. I was trying to beat the storms that were whipping up on this strange odd March day!

By evening just north of us had hail and sleet which covered the roads in ice when the temps dropped to 33 degrees.

At our house, we had lightening, thunder, and then small hail.

What a crazy two days!

The crocus flowers are in my yard.

These snow drops were in my son's yard.


And...there...

I was there and back....

New Year's Eve?

 I'm not doing anything special. The year will change over with or without my participation. Last year I picked a word 'Explore' for the year. I did a pretty good job at that and am hoping to continue Exploring both the natural world around me and the Still Life world of Photography and Toys. 

Sometimes I'll combine both.

I have stuff on my 'to do' list. But I'm not making a solid commitment to the Stuff. 

I will commit to just one day at a time. 


And...wait for it!!!!


My son Eddie and his wife Megan brought Aurora Ivy into this world on Wednesday the 27th. I cannot wait to meet her! They said they will call her Rory. All is well with them and Rory and they are taking time to get to know each other right now. Soon enough they said they would come and visit us so we can meet her.



I think that is such a kind act since Rich can't travel.

I can't think of much that really.


I leave you with the last of December's colors that I found









And...
