Whoops. I seem to have a habit of occasionally creating posts and then forgetting to publish them. This one was meant for Sunday. It was quite the productive day. It started off with this early morning shot of the first hint of the sunrise beyond the horizon just starting to touch the wispy clouds over Bear Pass. It came out orange-y in the picture but when I saw it out the window after going to the bathroom, it looked kind of blueish and I thought it might be the aurora. It was 5 degrees outside so I went back into my nice warm bed to spoon my toasty hunny. But then I thought,"Man. Am I gonna let this rare chance to photograph the aurora reaching horizontally across Orion slip by cuz I'm being a pussy and going back to bed?!?!"
Of course, as I stood outside the door neckid but for my robe and snow boots, I realized it was just clouds when the picture came up on the display. Back to bed with me-but it was worth the shot!
The rest of the day saw much activity with bread baking, dollhouse making, homebrew bottling("First Snow IPA"), pumpkin carving, pumpkin seed roasting(I made a KILLER batch! Hold me back!), and movie watching with skirt steak and potatah eating.
I'll post the results of our labors tomorrow.

Consider this my macro for the day?

LO's 4th Birthday is in a couple of weeks and I'm frantically trying to put together a "Birthday Story" book for her. I re-vamped some B-day stories that I have read online as well as in books and I'm also doing the illustrations. It's been awhile since I worked with watercolors but I thought this one came out pretty well.



So I'm off to get some more done during nap time. I think this is going to be a very special thing. I'll probably cry when I read it to her. I've got DEA's story going as well. Oh, yeah and then there's the dollhouse I need to build....


Can I take a nap?!?!?
