What Winter Hath Wrought

As the snow melts, you can see the price of winter. This is one of the green gardens where they grow produce for Harvesters. They'll need some new stones.

Post Office Oak

All that remains of the Post Office Oak in Council Grove, KS, is the trunk. Legend says the tree, 270 years old when it died in 1990, served as an unofficial post office along the wagon trail. Travelers could leave messages in a cache in the base of the oak tree. I guess the bonnet is to protect it from the weather.

Pussy Willows

Well, not really. But they made me think of them. You have to think of something to do with yet another snow.

Harbingers

The pansies are here. Can spring be far behind? (Don't look out the window.)

Intrusion! Intrusion!!

Notice my paper stock in the background. Maintenance staff does NOT respect my space.

Waiting for the Ferry

My guest photographer took this photo of the lumber delivery. The truck couldn't unload on our slanted driveway so what do you do? Put the lumber, in sections, in the truck and drive it up. Work smarter, not harder.

Pear Sweaters

Apparently necessary when you travel all the way from Korea.

Stacks of Vinyl

in a dusty part of Love Garden Sounds in Lawence.

Recycle Man

Stunning Blooms

Mardi Gras in the Snow

Or snow monsters. All depends on your perspective.

Sherlock Holmesian

I'm not sure what that means but it was how the fog on the morning drive yesterday was described on the radio. Definitely hard to see.

Wizards of Pez

Barbies on Parade

A bevy of holiday beauties on display.

Happy Valentine's Day

A Taste of Spring

Sweet peas in the edible garden at the Flower and Garden Show.

Recycle, Reuse

Don't throw away those old CDs. Decorate.

Snirt

Not quite snow, not quite dirt.

Pine Crystals

Hidden Text

Hidden inside of this copy of "It Takes Two" is the complete "Communist Manifesto." Interesting material to find in the resource book for the Soulmates Class.

Snow-Block Man

Very tall. Not sure how they got the last levels up there.

Caged Bird

TV Trivia Land

One of the tables decorated for TV Trivia Night. People dressed in character, too. Some were very creative.

White Cliffs

along the road. Taller than my car.

Patterns in Ice

A tribute to the -3 degrees we woke up to yesterday.

A Breath of Spring

For something a little bit different from what's outside.

Blowing Snow

We didn't get a foot but we got enough. And the drifts are huge!

Archeological Find

Found in a rafter in our house. It's been there at least 21 years.
