Surprise Surprise…Fire In The Skies…Yee Haw!
As the afternoon sun was setting…I noticed it seemed it was setting in the East instead of the West…what? I grabbed my camera and ran outside in my slippers…snap snap snap!
Looking back over my shoulder, I saw incredible skies filled with fiery orange colors…Holy Cow! That is the roof of the house to the right that you see and God’s glory above!
I ran off the patio in my slippers towards the big hill behind the house…it was cold but, as a photographer I’m gonna get that shot no matter what!
I was so pumped! It was incredible to see, as the light and colors kept changing by the seconds!
Whoop Whoop Whoopee Cool!
I would have loved to get my boots on to climb the hill but time was short!
I grabbed one last shot behind the house….
Already the light was fading across the road…the sun was down except on top of the hill.
The lights of home welcomed me back, it was time, as my slippers were soaked!
Our snow has been slowly melting the last few days! But we are under another winter storm advisory for a combo of snow, sleet and freezing rain tonight through Monday…I hope this storm misses us!
“Munch…Yumm…Munch…Yummmmmmy:)”
Have a great weekend where ever you are…stay warm and safe! HRCG is over and out for now but not for long!

Hi Marcy…oh my gosh you used your first name!!! LOL. I am so used to writing HRCG>> like an actual name. I am so glad you had some fire in the sky after all the grey! We had some Sumshine today & blue sky & it was divine despite the extreme cold.
I am thankful we are friends & I can see where you live & how beautiful it is.
LOL about falling down; I am sure I am a bigger klutz!
Love to all of you there from us here.

You are so right and I know that too…I could not bear to see her suffer…she was always feisty and loved to play…her last week was not ok. Hardest decision I ever made…I stayed with her as I did not want her to suffer with fear so I cradled her in her favorite blanket and spoke my love to her softly and hugged her to my heart..she was my baby. I know she is with me and her love is God given. Bless you both for your tender heart spoken words…sending you much love and soft kitty rubs…

We miss him alot but he and his wife, love NZ…they traveled there a few times and said ok we are moving there and they did! They are NOT thrilled with the earthquakes but love living there…they bought property about an hour out of Wellington, mini farms of sorts with 5 acres and already goats and the neighbors cattle..and her horse. We hope to get there as soon as we can…it is hard with a small business and employees. I bet you will miss your daughter too as 7 months in India is a long long time! It will be an awesome experience for her and she will see a lot of the world. once in a lifetime experience for her:)

Naw age does not make a difference with our kids. My Mom was still worrying over me when she was 80 years old and I was in my 40’s…I think as mothers, it is a God given instinct to worry and love our kids forever. I hear ya on the traveling….it is hard with animals, we always have a house sitter stay to care for our animals and also the ranch chores. Still is is hard to go and takes forever to get everything in order to be gone…and we miss our animals too. Sending happy wishes for a relaxing weekend over yonder:)
