day 342.





i have to take a minute to brag.

i took this picture ALL in camera. I did not edit it to be all swirly like that. i did that ON MY OWN! no photoshop!  I am just so proud!
don't ask me to do it again, i tried and i can't.

but i am quite happy about this!

day 324.




tree.



day 323.




this year is MY year with the tree decorations!
yay!
that means: white, silver and blue.



day 321.



yes, this year we got our tree the day BEFORE thanksgiving, but it worked out best that way.

it was hard choosing my photo of the day for this day, i got a lot of fun photos on this day.
but i like this one. it says it all. andy is thigh deep in this beautiful , freezing white stuff, plowing mightily toward what is soon to become our christmas tree! man, this guy is tough. he nearly passed out after he cut down the thing and dragged it by himself across that crazy deep snow. not to mention it was probably like -10 degrees.

but even he says it was worth it.

the sky was SO blue and the air was SO crisp, and it was SO dang peaceful. It was truly a winter wonderland.

day 285.




this photo is special to me
because
whenever i see those beams of light coming down from the sky like that,
(do you see them?)
I think of my Grandma Gentry.
We were driving back from her funeral and the sky looked somewhat like this.
well, not stormy clouds, but more peaceful clouds with those amazing beams of light shining down like that.

I don't remember if someone in my family said it, or if i was just thinking it, but I thought of those beams of light as heaven opening itself up and welcoming my Grandma.
A lot of peace & calm came to me when i saw that.

I always love to see the sky doing that.
I think, who is heaven opening itself up to today?

(maybe thats cheesy, ok well i'm sure it is, but I DONT CARE!)
