Happy New Year

I hope everyone had a fun and safe New Years Eve.  Pretty quiet around here.  I have come down with a miserable cold and didn't even get out of my PJ's New Years Day.  A lot of you have been reviewing 2013, but I have decided to look ahead to 2014 instead.  The first 6 months of last year were pretty stressful with my mom being sick and then passing away and all the doctor's appointment for me while trying to find out what was going on with me.  The second half of the year was pretty uneventful except for the fun time at the Tall Ship Festival in Duluth.  And then of course Christmas Eve was pretty special with my daughter getting engaged.  You can read about that in my last post.

I'm not making any New Year's Resolutions because I don't usually keep them anyway.  I do better if I set goals for myself.  The biggest goal for this year is to clean out and organize my basement.  I had started that last year but then after mom passed away, all of her things ended up in my basement.  Wish me luck because it looks like I am a hoarder.  Well maybe I am.  I have some fun things to look forward to this year.  One being my daughter's wedding and possibly some traveling!

It has been way to cold here to go out and take pictures so I have been taking some through the windows.
This one if on New Years Eve morning with the snow coming down.

These 2 were taken this morning with the frost on the windows. The sun was shining brightly.  But the frost was so thick you can't even see anything outside except a few speckles of sun shining through.

The frost does really  make for some interesting patterns. 

Thanks to all of you for following along with me and all your nice comments.  They mean a lot to me.

Until next time

Frosty Morning

Saturday morning I woke up to a beautiful frosted world.  We escaped the blizzard that hit Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, and Iowa.

I decided to go to the Wheels Across the Prairie Museum at the edge of town and photograph the big red barn with the barn quilt.  The barn is the main museum, but there are many other old buildings there, plus as steam engine and some boxcars.

I love this little sign that was in one of the gardens.

 

I am supper busy this week so I will be back in a couple of days to visit and comment.  Have a great week.
