A Red Green Moment Some hot peppers to warm up yet another day of frigid weather here in Minnesota. Photo from the Como Zoo and Conservatory taken earlier this week.

Day 58
Sunset Bird Feeders As seen and taken from the warmth of my family room. So ready for warmer weather so I can get OUT and take real photos.
Day 57
A gift... In 1964 when I was almost 8 years old my family moved from Sioux Falls, SD to my parents' home town of Canby, MN. I remember hating leaving all of my friends behind but was so excited to live closer to family. This mug was made by one of the parents of my best friend at the time. Since the date stamped on the bottom is 1964 (see below), I am assuming this was a farewell gift. I am hoping she can shed light on which of her parents made this. It does have a little chip on the rim but has for the most part survived several moves. It is part of my vintage glass collection. I've always loved this mug. (:
Day 56
A quiet place in the forest. Another photo from our trip to Como Zoo and Conservatory. Too green and warm not to share.
Day 55
Perfect... A perfect day with my daughters. We spent the morning at Hair.e.tic getting hair done. Theirs' not mine. Lunch. Then a couple of hours at Como Zoo and Conservatory. It was very tropical inside today. (: It was a wonderful change of pace from the mountains of snow and cold wind outside. I took about 100 photos today, 25 which are worthy of posting. They will be used as I can in the next few days or weeks. Hoping winter doesn't last too much longer. These are one of my favorite flowers. They always remind me of my Grandma's gardens in Sioux Falls.
Day 54
Weird IS good! While digging for "retro" jewelry (70's stuff of my mine), my daughters came across this delightful item. My oldest daughter, Mandi did this as an elementary project. They showed me the cover(shown below) when they found it but I didn't look at the instead. Earlier this week Mandi told me what was written inside. When she told me "Weird" was on the list it totally made my day, my life. (: This is proof positive of being a successful mother. Being weird comes fairly easy to me and to my children but to have one of them state in writing this is a top ten reason I should be mom of the year, wow! Success! Oh and I love the hair, big glasses and plaid flannel shirt! Just lovely. Proof positive of my weirdness! ha!
Day 51
Small Adventure... I got all bundled up to go out and take a few night photos of this pretty snow. I opened the door and just about got blown away so I didn't venture out at all. I wedged myself between the inside door and the storm door and got what I could from there. This would have been gorgeous if I had ventured down the driveway but...
Day 50
A bit of blue on the Mississippi What a gorgeous day for a walk along the Mississippi. But tomorrow brings us more snow and more cold. It was awesome to get out and walk without being so bundled up.
Day 48
Is summer on the other end? I had an enjoyable day attempting to fly a kite on a lake in a snow storm but I am so ready for winter to be over.
Day 44
Citrus Moon. Doesn't the moon look a bit like an orange? It has a navel like an orange and what looks like sections just like an orange. That's what I see anyway. OH! I did get out of the house today to take a few pictures. I made it all the way to the front sidewalk! ha! Not the best but I'm still working on these shots. One of these days... The original is much better than this but I can't get it to upload correctly.
Day 43
I'm pretty sure... I need a photo field trip. Maybe tomorrow afternoon? This is getting pretty sad. I won't even tell you what this is. Just let it be a guessing game and any answer you give is the correct one. ha! But I did take several photos tonight.
Day 42
Trespassing? My neighbor's old car has been calling my name for several days now so today I wandered over into their backyard and snapped a few quick pictures. My foot prints are all over their driveway so thought I should explain them. (:
Day 39
Stain glass sunset. A day of being preoccupied with having too much on my plate meant not taking much time for my photography once again. This is the sunset taken through a window, in a hurry. It actually turned out pretty cool. And actually I tried to make it turn it like this. (:
Day 38
Needed a bit of warmth. I was a bit under the weather yesterday and only got the two photos taken for my 52 week project. So I nabbed a warmer photo for my photo of the day.
Day 36
In my daughter's room. It looks like I need to go on a field trip really soon. I'm running out of creativity within the house. Maybe tomorrow?
Day 33
Neon Pink Frosting! We found the strawberry cake mix but not the strawberry frosting so settled for neon pink vanilla frosting. Happy Birthday to my oldest daughter Mandi! Love you much!
