Hawk Photo From October.

This little beauty has moved into my neighborhood and I've had a good time taking pictures of her.  Every now and then she surprises me with something like the one above. 

Wishcrafting Wednesday!

Today, this last day before the insanity of Thanksgiving begins, Jamie asks us, "What peace do you wish for?" 
This one was a good one and not one that I had thought about before, but as I sit here looking out the living room window at the rainbow stretching out across the valley, I think of the peace I need in my relationships. 
My relationships, for the most part, are really good.  But others.....well, the negativity is begining to creep in and I'm avoiding it as much as possible.  And, with the holidays upcoming, I want all of them into the positive category. 
So, that's my wish - peace in relationships.

What's your wish?

Going To The Chapel

Not to bury the lead, I'm getting married.

(OHMYHOLYMOLY!)


Things have worked out better than I could ever would have imagined (thanks to everyone's wishing wednesdays) and we're getting married.  Granted, it's a ways off - the girls and I have to move to Texas first! - but everyone is really excited.  The girls and I are pinning wedding ideas like mad, it doesn't matter what it is, if we like it, we pin it.

This is a whole new thing for me.  My first/other marriage was fast and I didn't get to enjoy being engaged.  This time, I'm enjoying it all.  I buy the magazines, I sign up at the websites, we/I will be going to the bridal faires.  There's plans for cake tasting (how cool is that?  TASTING CAKES) and flower shopping. 
It's amazing and I cannot believe it.

This beautiful rough-legged hawk

has nothing to do with the wedding,

I just like how she's looking at me taking her photo.
