today some christmas baking

taking pictures of the swedish christmas cookies.....or eating them....
i think the pictures have fewer calories

chili beans and pizza

have to sort them and make sure no rocks or moldy beans get into the chili.


also made pizza for my aimee and took a picture.

the snow only stays in the shade and on the mountain

fruit from thanksgiving and ice from the clouds

most of the snow is melting off faster than it falls still.

the first snow that stuck at all

i took its picture and it was gone when the sun came back soon after.

feeding the birds

it was too cold to sit and wait for them return while sick so i just took pictures of filling the feeder.

hills on the way home

everything is very orange, yellow, and tan in pictures lately.

mittens comes out to keep me company

when i am feeling extra sick like i am today.
its a good thing cause there isn't much to take pictures of when i don't leave my room.

went to the doctor today

took pictures while i was there.

leftover pie

new picture.

family thanksgiving dinner

thank you to the cook

and to the family who enjoyed it together

thank you to God for creating it

and the people who handed down the recipes before us.

attempt at capturing the first falling snow

unfortunately the pictures did not really capture the snowflakes in motion very well.

very old wood paneling

when i take pictures of old things i wonder how much older they are than i.
what stories could they tell that have been lost as the people around them grow old and die.
