Snow in March! AHHHH!

When will spring arrive for good?

Soon, we hope!

Pretty blue moon and the bright sky.

For a few days in February I thought spring had arrived. Moscow was then hit by a blizzard on March 5th. I couldn't believe it when I opened my eyes that morning! Later on, the sun came out and the sky was a brillant color of blue. The trees were begging me to take photos of them. Then I did some experimenting with Photoshop, and got a little addicted and may well have gone overboard with the photos in this post. But they are all uploaded now so there is no going back!!!

Branches begging to be contrasted against the blue sky.

Black and white branches with some nifty edge burning.

And more experimenting! I found new 'actions' by Pioneer Woman (http://www.thepioneerwoman.com/) and will be posting more unique photos thanks to her creative genius and willingness to share these actions!

This beautiful pink geranium continues to thrive in the Festival Dance office; blooming several times throughout the winter and this spring. This is one hearty geranium!

Onto another subject, my adorable kitties!

They are big guys who act tough but are really love muffins. Cupid 1 1/2 years old and we think Alvin is around 3 years old.

This is Cupid's "I do not find that flashy thing amusing, give me treats now," face.

This is Alvin lounging on my legs. His favorite place to sleep. Cupid likes to sleep right next to Alvin. All the time. They keep me warm, so I don't complain!

The Boys.

These beautiful roses were from the Swan Lake reception last weekend. As they age, they start to spread apart and smell even better!

I'm a little bit of a rose fanatic. I get it from my Grandma Doris.

I think I'll leave these roses to be the end of photos in this post. What a beautiful ending!

Ryan and I are off to the coast for a few days early Saturday morning. We'll swing by Moscow to pick up paintball gear on Tuesday, and head up to Papa & Grandma's house to spend the rest of the week playing around home. I think Ryan and I are sleeping in the camper in the garage--it will almost be like a camping adventure. This may only exacerbate my camping urges. Early in April we plan on backpacking in Hells Canyon, so my outdoor needs will soon be satisfied.
