Karma

Today my baby girl Karma is turning fifteen! I can't believe how time goes by.

The word this week was BLUR over at words to shoot by.

Hope everyone is having a lovely spring so far! I'm loving all the blooming flowers and warmer

days! 

on the road

I have a few roadtrips coming soon. This week I'll be traveling to Tulsa to see Jack White at

Cains Ballroom. I can't believe I got tickets. It sold out in five mins. Crazy!! I'm also planning a trip

to Austin for my b-day in April. It's where Rob and I began fifteen years ago so I'm pretty excited to see  it again.

spring fever

"The Dude"

We have sping fever big time. I've been spending my days thinking about what plants I'm going

to grow, patio furniture, and bird feeders. I got some catnip seeds today to grow for the cats. As you can see Danko (the dude) approves. That photo of him was taken after a catnip party.

All of the trees are starting to bloom out. I saw a cherry blossom tree yesterday that took my breath away. I plan on going back tomorrow armed with a camera.



Happy Birthday Buffalo River

Happy Birthday Buffalo National River! You were America's first national river! I can't wait

to dip my feet in your crystal clear waters and hike your beautiful forest trails.

You have given me and my family many great times and memories through the years.

I love you.

These photos were taken last at year Ozark campground.

flowering quince

My little flowering quince bush is blooming out her blossoms which makes me happy knowing
spring is just around the corner. I've been sneezing like crazy, but I love it! Sneezing means flowers!
I'm so ready for some warmer weather so I can work in my yard and fix up the deck with a new paint job and some patio furniture. I want a calming place outside to watch birds and tend to my plants.
It will happen this year.

Any advice on flowers that do well in pots?

trinidad state beach

On our journey up the 101 we stopped at Trinidad State Beach. It was the best rest stop on the whole

trip. I loved the fishy ocean smell mixed with the earthy smells of the forest. I've only been to tropical beaches before so this was all new to me. Like most of the stops on our trip this one was short, but I did

manage to get a few shots that I liked.

napa valley

After our visit in San Francisco we headed north across the Golden Gate Bridge (that I didn't get to see because it was so foggy) to Santa Rosa to stay a night with my Aunt Sandy and Uncle Roger. That afternoon

they took us to Napa Valley to go wine tasting and have dinner at the Calistoga Inn. Napa is beautiful.

I wish we could have stayed longer.
