The Barn with Clover's Camera

Clover got a new camera. It. is. lovely.  Today we took the kids out the the barn, and she let me play with it. And here's the thing: It took really good pictures, even in the barn.  I NEVER get good pictures in the barn, since it's so dark. It was exciting.  Here's some of my favorites.    

Since the blog background is black, it looks like this picture is small and offset. But it's not.

Blog Circle: Lucky

This month's theme is lucky. I did some of the things I'm lucky about in regards to spring.  It really was spring for a couple weeks there. Now we have snow again and we're supposed to get a couple more weeks of winter. But for a couple of weeks we got to sugar! So things that make me lucky: sugaring, the influx of family due to sugaring, more sun in the evening, and plants indoors! 

Rilla's birthday party a couple of weekends ago. She always gets to have a party up here with cousins since it falls during sugaring time! 

Boiling.

A wee lamb. :)

Actual sunlight when it's time to do cows! 

Some of the plants Tori started indoors. They're sprouting! 

I'm also lucky that in a week, I'll be in Wyoming! But I obviously don't have pictures of that. :)

Blog Circle: Love Is...

The blog circle theme this month is "love is..."  One thing love is is cute little kids. :)

November and Snow

Here are some long overdue pictures from on the way down to Clover's in November, and then some snowy pictures from today. 

So pretty!

A pretty sunset a couple of weeks ago.

The rest of these are snowy pictures from this evening.

Besides the monthly blog circle, I really haven't posted anything since the middle of November. I didn't even do December's blog circle. I'm just really bad at this, I guess.  I've been REALLY busy in school for the last long while. I thought your senior year was supposed to be the slacker year? It's not. Gah. Also, I lost my memory card for the better portion of a month. My 52 week project is officially dead, since I couldn't take pictures without a memory card. Oh well. I'm putting up pictures that I've taken at Clover's these last couple of days. I kind of left my camera at home on accident. So, other pictures will be later. It's snowed a lot these last couple of days. When I got here, there wasn't any snow, due to the thaw.  There's now several feet. Sunday night we got 2 ft, last night 6 inches, and today who knows how much. The kids had a snow day! It's pretty nasty.

Branches this afternoon. I wasn't sure if I liked the color or black and white better.
