Ten on Ten :: July 2014

There's nothing like a good Ten on Ten and its perimeters of only 10 pictures and of only on the 10th of the month to entice me out of non-blogging slumber.  

Today was a good quiet one at home.  We've had sickies all week.  In fact I'm the only one, including my nephew that is staying with us, that hasn't been touched by it. 

And for the record (because sometimes this is my only record), Oliver started to crawl (ever so slowly right now) like yesterday, and is pulling himself up to things.

10 on 10 :: FeBrUaRy 2 0 1 4

My kids are all in bed.

The house is quiet.

It's a great time for posting: a rare thing these days.

I'm sitting on my bed leaning against the wall, with an open window behind my head. 

It's February, but it is so nice out.

My hair is wet because I just got out of the shower, but it doesn't feel cold and the air smells so delicious.

I can hear the creek flowing, filling up with melted snow.

I hear an owl hooting and my rancher crunching through the snow outside, opening a gate, shutting it.

A light was left on in the barn, so he went to turn it off.

All this while I am waiting for my pictures to load.

My parents came and stayed with us on Sunday evening and left just after lunch on Monday.  We had not seen them since Tuesday, the day they got home from their mission, and it was SO nice to be with them.  It was just too short.  We'll see them again soon, though.  We had a nice visit.  I love them so much. 

Here are my 10 fer the day 10, yesterday.  Not a lick of V-day-ness, but ah well.

 I am becoming a ten on ten only blogger.

I am not proud of this. 

It has been hard for me to find time to blog lately.  I want to blog regularly again.  This blog has become a part of me (cheesy).  My family loves it.  I love it.
