On the bank of the Colorado River, Bond, CO over ten years ago. If I posted this before, apologies. It's a dreary day and I needed to find and share some sunshine and warmth. Heavens knows so many needs those these days.

Happy Friday! I hope everyone is has a good day. If summer starting, I was thinking about planning a road trip. Not sure if it happen, but I can think past road trips. This one went through the Virgin River Gorge, AZ. #photography #Arizona

My aunt has been moving, leaving, and sharing peony plants originally from her grandmother's house. Every time they move she dig them up, split them and leave some behind, and shared what she couldn't take to the next house. Seven houses and three states later they have left a mark. I got some.
Dark pink or purple peonies are heavy in bloom.

A baby quilt I made in 2019 for a family member from a pattern. The theme was transportation. Main fabric with cars, trucks, trains, and planes. The rest of the fabrics were a mix of new prints and leftovers from an older quilt. Machine sewn and quilted.

Got myself a new friend for Valentine's Day. I decided they needed to wear my old hard hat. It was time to get a new hat anyway.

Pictures from the Cody Ranch in North Platte, NE October 2015. Unfortunately it was closed for the season when I visited so I couldn't see the inside of the buildings. The grounds were lovely to walk around.
