Its been a little Rocky lately.

                                             Or maybe I should of said a LOT Rocky lately.

Rocky was supposed to be my dog, But actually almost immediately he became Odies dog. And that wasn't a bad thing as Odie pretty much trained Rocky in all things dog.


Rocky does have his quirks like he is barky, and nervous, but in the last year or so he has quite come into his own.

The pic above is of him guarding the glove ( my new goat skin glove) that he stole. Now he looks innocent calmly laying there but this is the 3rd time he has taken the same glove. He doesn't chew it up he just likes to carry it around and  guard it. Then stash it in his bed with his other toys.

Beauty!

We had a skiff of snow, mixed with rain over night. Now everything is stiff and frozen. But it is beautiful with the sun shining on it everything has a beauty and a sparkle.

Odie


Hubby Had surgery last spring and during his physical therapy they had him working on a total gym. He liked it so much that he decided to get one of his own so he could work out at home.
Odie has not taken it well. For some reason it makes him  flip out. Were not sure if he is trying to save him or hurt him. lol.
I had tried to take more video of him but I was laughing so hard that all I recorded was the floor.

Resolutions.

It seems right now everybody is working on their new years resolutions. I personally don't do new year resolutions. I hate the thought of having to wait around for a specific time of the year to start something new.
So now I have you wondering hmmm wonder what she has been up to.
Well last year I realized that my life had became to predictable. Not that there was anything wrong with my life. I was happy and doing the things I wanted to do.  I just found myself doing the same things over and over and over and not really adding anything new. And I didn't want to wake up one day and think wow this is all there is.
I didn't want to make any huge changes, Like running off to the circus or anything like that. I just wanted to broaden my interests in everyday things.
The first thing  that I found is that as I went about my life I had quit seeing things. You know like when you drive by the same place everyday how you stop seeing what is really there.
I took a look at my area, And tried to see it as how somebody who had never seen it might see it.
It is amazing how much you miss when you are not really seeing things. There are pretty things almost every where.
I had also pretty much quit taking pictures. I just wasn't seeing anything that I thought was worth photographing. So now I am trying to get into the habit of taking my camera with me. ( Some days I am better at this than others.) I am always now seeing funny or interesting things that I think oh that would make a nice picture. ( Or Omg I need to put that on Fb, lol).
I am a reader and love it, But had found myself limiting my reading to one or two categories. I received a Kindle last year and have taken up there free books. Most are books I would of never of bought and read but have found a lot of them very enjoyable.
So that some of it, Not all but some. Hopefully I will be sharing more changes and more of the things that I have changed right here.

Here's the baby boy enjoying the sunshine!

Early Mornings!



I love early mornings. I love the quietness of it. Its sorta like being in a cacoon.

I like that I don't have to do anything or be anywhere.

And I can just be.




The twins. Or so Cheeto wishes.

For the birds.

Lizard loves animals of all kinds so last winter I bought a bird feeder and within a few days we had all kinds of pretty little birds coming.
Lizard and I would sit at the big window and watch them for hours.
Then last summer I took the feeder with me for our stay up the canyon and while we didn't have many birds come the chipmunks loved it and would empty it almost as fast as I could fill it.
So here a couple of weeks ago dug it out of the storage shed and once again put it on the fence, And nothing.
We have had some birds in the yard but not one single one has gone to the feeder. I filled it full 2 weeks ago and it hasn't moved at all.
I'm thinking I need to make a bird to put out there so that they will see that its an OK place to dine. lol
or maybe a bird diner sign.
