Get Rid of 50 Things...29 of 50

This is our camping equipment...2 backpacks, 2 sleeping bags with foam pads, and a 2-person tent.  The tent and a sleeping bag were last used in 1995, when I did a bike ride in Colorado.  If there's an earthquake and we can't stay in our house, I don't know what we'll do, but we'd need a bigger tent anyway, for the dogs...

Get Rid of 50 Things...28 of 50

 

These are what's left of my nursing school textbooks.  I haven't looked at them in at least 4 years, and while I have fond memories of the hours I spent poring over them, it's time to make room for new books on my shelves.

Christmas Morning Sunrise

Working Christmas Eve, not so much fun.  Getting off and seeing this sunrise, awesome!

Snowbirds

December block, hand embroidery.  It is by storyquilts.com, published in 2002.  This is the last block of 12 in a block of the month series.  My goal was to actually finish a block every month, and so on the first, I put down whatever other sewing project I had going and stitched the block.  Starting a project and seeing it through - awesome!  (of course now I have to decide how to assemble them into a quilt...)

Frost on the Poplars

We have had MANY days in a row of freezing and fog, with no sunshine to break it up.  It has built up on the bare tree branches.  This morning, the sun finally burned it off, and the trees were awesome, their bare white branches a stark contrast to the clear blue sky.  We took a walk and basked in the sun's warmth.
