It's a slow season for blog material right now, so I thought I'd pull up a photo from a couple of years ago. We followed a highway through the west end of the Oklahoma panhandle and came upon a couple of cowboys herding cattle down the road. We drove slowly behind for a while, and then the cowboy divided the herd so that we could get through.
This unexpected encounter was just about the best part of our whole trip. It was probably just another day's work for the cowboys, but we town folks enjoyed it immensely. Hey, who needs Vegas? This is so much better!
There's a place along Blue River Parkway in south Kansas City where water trickles over a limestone formation. Here it is, first on May 10, 2010, and again on February 4, 2011.
We had lunch at Eden Alley a few days ago. All of the tables are works of art, but I was particularly fond of this one. As you can see, it has water lilies on the top, and stems along the table legs.
Below is a close-up of the table top. Kool, huh?
Last Thursday I did a fair amount of snow shoveling. Several neighbors joined in and we got on a roll. Even though the snow was fairly fluffy, the shoveling was still quite a workout. So on Thursday afternoon I figured I deserved to spend some time in the Jacuzzi at The View.
I took this photo a year or two ago, which is why you don't see snow outside the window.
This is part of the pool complex. The Jacuzzi area is near the big windows. This place is so nice on a sunny winter day, because you get the benefit of a warm, sunny water experience when it's freezing cold outside.
The picture below shows the big pool where I swam laps. There is some natural light from above there as well.
There was a bit of shoveling to do after a day of snow. On the positive side, this winter has been better than last winter--so far, less snow and more sunshine. This winter I have the luxury of not needing to drive on icy streets in rush hour traffic.
This blogger has been a bit inconsistent about posting recently, and even now is searching through her photo library for something to post. Well, here it is, pink (or is it purple? or azalea?) pipe waiting on the surface of Cheesman Park in Denver. Probably by now it has been placed underground. I can't help but wonder, why the colorful pipe?
We had some electrical work done in our house. One was getting light kits installed on three existing ceiling fans.
Another thing was getting a new range hood installed over the stove. This is a big improvement over the old one. We also had four new electrical outlets installed, one new phone jack installed, and one existing phone jack moved. In the spring I hope to do some interior painting.
