The end of the day.


Today was a mellow day, overall. Nothing of any great note happened. This evening,since I was all by myself,I decided to take a little walk and watch the sun set. As I walked, I pondered all the things that have been bothering me lately. At one point, I forgot all about the sunset. I was just steam rolling along. Since I live in a desert type of setting, I don't have the relaxing green rolling hills and babbling brooks of which I have in my mind as a relaxing country setting. There is a lot of sagebrush and tumbleweeds all surrounded in sand. But the song birds and the rabbits darting all around are relaxing at some point. As I turned around to start on my way home, the sunset captured my complete attention. It was beautiful and frankly very breath taking. Suddenly, I didn't notice the wild sagebrush and sandy pathway on which I walked. I took my camera on the walk with me. You never know what might look appealing enough to snap. Well here is my sunset. And as brilliant as it may seem, it just doesn't quite capture the beauty I could actually see with my own eyes. The end of another day. Beautiful.

Give it a few minutes,and it will change again.

I thought it was a weird weather forecast. They said possible chance of snow showers. I was very skeptical. But that's why I don't do weather reports. The morning started out chilly,as usual. There were clouds in the distance, but there usually is. It wasn't windy. But two hours after I got up, the weather changed rather quickly.


But you have to really appreciate the variety of weather here in northern Nevada. In just a few short hours, it went from this...


To This....The weather is never boring here. I kinda like it.

Happy St. Patty's Day!




Ok So I'm not Irish,really. The closest I can claim is Welsh. But on St.Patty's Day everyone claims to be a little Irish. I am just glad that St. Patrick had the notion to go to Ireland and bring the Word of God to a pagan land. So here's to St. Pat and the huge changes he made in Ireland. I am raising up my cup o' green tea to ya!
