Happy New Year!

Good morning 2012! What will you bring me as your days go by? Adventures? ~ like the photo hike I'm planning to take around Palouse Falls ~ YES please!

My goal in this fine new year is to journal every single day, whether it be in the form of an art journal, scrapbook, or blog posts. It's a 365 project. I'm excited...and nervous...and determined. Look! I've already started!

And she's off to the next adventure...

A post-full of my favorite things...

Cheyenne in her favorite mode, sleepy time. I love how peaceful she is!

Claddagh, my Gallagher Rep. She's so very informational.

Cinders' nose is the softest part on her whole horsey self.
 I love to stroke it and give it kisses!

Skipper is a total comedian!
 I was trying to take a picture of his horsey sister
and he stuck his big noggin right in the shot.
Funny guy, keep it up!

The Parasol

Lookee what we found during our roofing project! Our house was built in 1905. After we bought it, I searched high and low for something left behind by the original owners. Sadly, there wasn't a thing to be found except an empty secret compartment under the stair case...so imagine my surprise upon finding something several years later. Jason pulled this parasol out of what i thought was a ratty old t shirt. It was tucked in the edge of the roof under the old cedar shingles. I imagine it was either red or coral colored and was QUITE fashionable in the day. Finding this just revived the the wish to know more about the original family that built our home... where they were from, what they did for a living, why they moved to Diamond. Maybe they even knew John Q Diamond, the original founder of the town! 

The search continues for more clues to our home old history.

It's a~MAIZE~ing!

Both hands on the cob!

Do you eat corn like this?

Nom, Nom, NOM!

My horse cracks me up!

Splish Splash, he's takin a bath...

 And he goes bobbing for apples!

 That's an excellent moose impression...

Wooooooweeeeeee that's fun!

Gathered at the river

A selection of the rocks Carissa, Jeanne and I picked up. We had too many things in the boat already so I had to snap a picture to remember them by.

Some of the driftwood on the beach. We floated the river for hours on various pieces of it!

The Palouse is famous for...

Wheat, Barley, Lentils, Peas, Oh My!
