Chores to do this morning, not in the house though, all over the valley. Children to take to school at sunrise; groceries to buy and then hay, hay and more hay - enough to see us through till the spring brings green grass for the horses. Thank goodness I'm not allergic!
It all made for a lot of driving, made easier by taking my camera along for the ride. When I came home and looked at my photos I realised that I had watched the valley thaw out from the night frost!
Hope your week is getting off to a good start.

Amazing pics! I'm kind of really jealous. ;) Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteSharon, I love your images and it is so lovely to see your area and where you live and thanks for sharing your everyday life.

Is there ever a moment in time when your valley doesn't look like a piece of heaven? If I lived where you do I would even sign the pledge!!! Some things money just can't buy can it?
