The Season’s Faire

The La Grande Arts Commission hosts two major events each year.  In the Spring they hold Arts for All, a hands-on event for area children.  In the Fall an annual art show and auction, The Season’s Faire is held to raise money to support Arts for All, local scholarships, and other activities supported by the [...]

For Me

Just because it’s beautiful.

The Painted Hills

This & That

The most recent picture of all four of our girlies together.  It was the weekend of Erika’s graduation from EOU.  A spur of the moment picture, but I love it!

My parent’s pond is gorgeous, lush, and full of critters.  They have three different kinds of water lillies, but this one is my favorite.  It is [...]

Struttin’ His Stuff

Just North of our house is a house that has a TON of peacocks (seriously, a ton).  The other day I was getting ready to go some where, and I ran into this handsome gentleman who was struttin’ his stuff and walked toward me sitting in the pick up.  All of a sudden, FWOOSH!  Full [...]

Foreboding Skies

I found another treasure on Aaron’s camera.  At some point last Spring, he was applicating chemicals to a potato field when a storm broiled up out of nowhere.  He took pictures of the developing storm, and they are so gorgeous!  Pictures like this make me extremely happy to have a desk job INSIDE where I [...]
