Valentine's Day

I don't bake, I cook, but not bake so when my little one asked me to bake cupcakes for Valentines' Day, I thought, why not?  Well, I think I was most pleased with my frosting than the actual cupcakes....maybe next year they will come out a bit better??

Pink

Everytime I think of the color pink, I think back to when I was a little girl and my favorite pink coat!  I still have that picture and although this isn't a "valley picture", it reminds me of when I was a little girl.

Pink

                                 
                                    The only pink we get around here is when I get to watch
      
                                    my friend's girls........nothing like cute little pink toenails!

Departed

The cemeteries here aren't taken care of very well. It was actually quite eery walking around the cemetery when I took these pictures. Everything seemed so run down.......quite depressing. Not to mention how many died at such young ages.

A stroll

The plan for this weekend was to go out for a hike so I could take some pictures....however!  The rain came and when it rains here we stay indoors!  So instead, I will share one of my most favorite pictures ever, this is my oldest and her best friend strolling along the California Poppies in the spring, this was taken last year but I love this picture so much that I wanted to post it!

Winter in the Valley

This year we have had a very mild winter, in fact, we've had three straight weeks of warm weather, today the first storm of the year is rolling in.  It doesn't look very threatening thou!

Winter

This Winter has been pretty harsh. The snow came at the beginning
of November and will stick around probably until the end of March!
This Winter makes me wish I lived in the valley!
