Share? No, I don't think so. It's mine, all mine!
Wrong. It's mine. I am the one known as Queen Nutty Brown around this house.
But sometimes I am a benevolent queen and give to those below me...
But YOU (bipod with the camera) did not hear me say that.
It's best to keep bunny secrets. You never heard it from me...
And Angel... she's giving thanks that I did not find this outfit to dress her up in!
Lee and I were Grant's "pit crew" for this race. The race route took the riders through a half mile of a very sandy wash so we were there to push him through, as needed. The rest of the riders got off their bikes to walk them through this area. 
The weather was perfect for a race -- sunny and mid 70s. Gotta love Tucson in November.
After we made it through the wash, Grant was back on the road cranking for the next 3 and 1/2 HOURS. He chose to do the 66 mile route. Lee and I chose to go have lunch and then meet him at the finish line. :)
His goal was to finish in less than 4 hours. His official time: 4 hours and 36 seconds! Pretty darn close, I'd say. If it hadn't taken us 15 minutes to get through the wash, he would have been well under. 
Way to go Grant! Oh, and by the way, HAPPY BIRTHDAY. 
Thanks Annette for including my "Band of Bunnies" bracelet in your fun treasury (bottom, middle row). The beads in this bracelet are a beautiful blue iolite and are combined with 3 southwestern style sterling silver bunnies. Perfect Christmas gift for any bunny lover!
I'm putting this bracelet on sale for 20% off the regular price this week only. It can be purchased through my Etsy shop. Just send me a note prior to purchasing and I'll adjust the price accordingly.
There is a napping person under this pile of bunnies. Or I should say, there WAS a napping person prior to "Invasion of the Buns"...
The sun was streaming in through the blinds and painted the bunnies with streaks and spots that aren't normally there. It made for some interesting pictures.
It also made for some sleepy bunnies. After exploring for a bit, they settled in for a nap.
The recipe calls for dried cranberries (otherwise known as craisins). I used the cherry flavored craisins, which ended up being a good choice. The end result tastes much like a chocolate covered cherry. Mmmmmm....
I'm thinking the orange flavored craisins would be a good choice, also. And of course, you could use walnuts or any nut of your choice in place of the pecans.
I couldn't agree more!
Phoenix and I have been together now for 8 years. He was my first horse and he definitely taught me the ropes. We have a special bond and he will let me do just about anything on him. Well, maybe I should say he "tolerates" me... but deep down I know he really loves me, too. :)
Bandit looks like he is lost in thought, contemplating all things horse. That or taking a nap in the warm afternoon sun.
Nope, just giving himself a good butt scratching! Being the old ranch horse that he is, he will find just about anything to scratch on -- tree branch, fence post, hitching post, you name it, if it's butt height, he'll back up to it and start scratching.
Animals really do have a knack for showing us how to appreciate the little things!
Still as cute as can be --- even in black and white. :) Here's hoping it is nice and sunny wherever you are!
"Golondrita's. Turquoise, Chocolate & Doves"
"Monarca"
I think these last ones might be my favorite (for anyone out there who is wondering which pair I'd like to have the most). Hint, hint...
I'm not sure what this one is, though (I had to have it anyway). It looks somewhat like a wood graining tool for doing a faux wood finish. Anyone have any ideas what it might have been used for?
The back of it is stamped with a patent date of November 6, 1906. I was really intrigued by how old it is. And it was only $1.50, so I splurged. :)
And I might even put this old fashioned whisk to use. There was a woman standing next to me while I was admiring this in the store. She said, "My mother used to use one just like that. She recently passed away. She was 101 years old." Sold. 
And some old, weathered tongs (for lack of the proper term) for removing hot canning jars. Not that I ever do any canning. But the wood on the handles was just really smooth and time worn and again, I was intrigued by the age of this. Makes me wonder about the person who used this and what their story was??? 
Hope you have a relaxing Sunday, too!
Wow. Inspiration really is all around us. And sometimes it will just hit you out of the clear blue sky...
Napping in the sun (note pig inside, dog outside)
Getting a belly rub.
Making myself comfortable on the couch.
It's been a fun visit. These people really know how to treat a pig! Tonight my mom and dad are coming to pick me up, though.
