Oh Clouds, Where Have You Been?!

Today, clouds returned to our valley. They looked nothing like these.

Or these.

Rather, they were dark, looming, heavy clouds. They looked like they could let loose a nice sprinkling for us. They didn't, but their mere presence made me immensely happy. Here's why:

1) I don't like the sun

2) I don't like heat

3) I like the cold

4) I love clouds

5) I really really don't like the sun

So the clouds rolled in, and your host was very happy. They even stuck around all day...blocking out the sun. All day long. All...day... For those of you who get the winter blues...I'm sorry, I'm the opposite of you.

And now, for something completely different.

Tomorrow we have a big motorcycle ride. No running out of gas this time, Hubby topped it off...(but I did put some cash in my bag just in case we need to pay a tow truck driver for his gas). I trust Hubby, I really really do...but our last ride...just saying. I do trust him though.

Waiting for fun,

Moonlighting of the Sunflower

Remember Hubby? How late he was last night? Well, finally, on his way home he calls me. He tells me that he is going to be home in an hour and that I should look out at the moon. So I tell him I'm going to hang up on him and go take pictures. He was a little upset...me ditching him and all. But I ditched him anyway. Then I went outside with my happy little tripod and my happy little camera and my happy little lens. Emphasis on little. For when I went out to our driveway, I discovered that my lens was indeed way too small for this project. Hike back to the house I did.

And I got my happy big lens. And all was right with the moon.

Do you hear the howling?


I discovered last night, there are a lot of scary noises on the ranch at night.


I love this picture. I think it's beautiful.


I love our runway down the driveway.


The previous picture was done in shutter speed mode. This one was done in no flash mode. Big difference.


This is what sunflowers look like at night. Not much different from the day.




Because of the dark, I couldn't see the spider. I'm really glad, I didn't touch the flower.


In these ones, no spider exists.


But he's there...oh he's there.

I don't like spiders. I don't like much anything that crawls...unless it's Hubby crawling underneath the truck. That's a good crawling. Hubby knows I don't like crawling things. Ask him yourself. Ask him about how I woke him up at 6:45 this morning on his day off...to kill a crawling bee. *Shudder* And like a good hubby, he did it. Just for me.

Creepy Crawlies,

Dragons That Fly

I drove my new little hamster car to see Matt last Thursday and when I got there, we found this in my grill:

Isn't it purdy?

I wish I had my actual camera with me but my phone camera didn't do too bad of a job on that.

Look at those hands...those are the hands of a workin' man. I don't think I could ever have a man with soft hands. Those working hands are delightful. Speaking of working hands, my hard-working hubby is still at work. We can't catch a break says MIL J. She's right. In so many ways, we haven't had much time together since I started working. Alas, if anyone can do it, it's us.

Love you Hubby!

Fight or Flight

Three cranes showed up at our pond today and it was fight or flight for one male and two females. To my delight, the females were ganging up on the male.

The male


Run away run away!


And here come the girls!

Fleeing,

Trust

How much do you trust your spouse? This much?

I was helping Hubby move hay and to save some effort on his part, he jumped in the bucket and had me haul him over to the barn. Does your hubby trust you this much?

Trusted,
