It's about time....

This isn't my photo (wish it was!) but it's just outside of Santa Fe.  Beautiful pastel clouds, snow on the ground...so pretty.

That was the great photo.  The rest?  Not so much.

I really don't like politics.  I don't like to engage with people about politicians, or political races, and most certainly not the upcoming presidential race.  But I'm going to go out on a limb here, and rant a little bit about Trump.

How can he be the front runner of the republican party?  How can people look at him or listen to him, and not feel sick?  He's a liar most of all.  A manipulator.  A scammer.  He has been convicted ~ convicted! ~ of sexual assault.  People know this, right?  They don't think that all of that is lies, do they?  I just don't get it.  On top of all that, he comes across as stupid.  Uneducated.  Power hungry.  Ugh.  

When there's a story on the news or a replay of a speech he's making, I mute the tv or go to a different channel.  Avoiding him will become increasingly difficult as the year goes on.  

Now for the funny, but not so pretty photos:

Wrong finger.....right word though.

Y'all have a great week.

Love, 365

Winter is taking a little break.......

 

This week the weather has moved to spring.....in the high 50s and low 60s.  We'll have a little dip for a few days and then it goes up again.  This is what we in New Mexico call "fool's spring".  Because we all know that there will be another storm with snow before winter is all over.  Maybe even two!  Who knows?  I sure do need to get my act together in regards to gardening.  I am anxious to start, so I'm going to start planning.

We've been busy, trimming down the wisteria, treating the yard for dog pee, looking at paint colors, and deciding the details of updating the bathrooms.  I've been planning on doing the shower first, but I've decided to start with the vanity ~ which we will do ourselves.  I need a new sink and countertop.  The idea of picking out colors and styles is a little daunting, because I probably won't do it again. 

On the home front, my sister was just diagnosed with cancer.  It was found early, so the outlook is very positive, but it has floored us all.  I am very close to my sis.....she is my only sibling as well.  The next step is coming up in a little less than 2 weeks.  This one of those things that she won't know how well the treatments are doing for almost a year.  I want to go and spend a week, and will figure out when to go.  (Romeo is already pressing me to fly, but I don't want to, sheesh)  They aren't doing chemo, it's an immunotherapy treatment.  At least she won't have the side effects of chemo.  

I have slacked off on baking sourdough.  I was making two loaves a week, and now I'm doing one every 10-14 days.  Sometimes ya just need a break!

Have a wonderful weekend, y'all!

Love, 365
