2011 Christmas Gift

My boss got this for me for Christmas along with some tea bags from a place that makes tea locally.

Kinda neat

I took this one evening last summer.

Random shots

My niece saw this deer and baby the other night we she stayed over so we got a shot.
Our dog with his friends.  The mama cat showed up at our house over a year ago and it sleeps with the dog.  Back in April she had the babies in his dog house.

The flowers are the Evening Primroses and they spin open about 8 p.m. at night and smell heavenly.  During the day those flowers are done with.  Amazing to just stand and watch them spin open.  Seeds drop and the next year you have more and more.

More random shots from last weekend

My view last week-end

Top 2 is view from our hotel room. We were in McGregor Iowa for a wedding. 

My friends son got married.  We started as pen pals back in 1989 thru Country Woman magazine. 

Last 2 a view at Pikes Peak in Iowa where the wedding was.

We love it up there and have been several times over the years.  Normally stay in Prairie DuChein Wis. and then cross river to their house but this time stayed in Iowa.  Was in Prairie alot tho.  Reception was there.
