It's Still Winter

We have had many sun filled days lately - which makes the biker in us want to get out on the open road.  We made it out for a couple hours on such a sun warmed day a couple of weeks ago.  The ride was great - as was the weather, however, the scenery is still very much winter like.  I tried to get a few shots as we rode through the back roads around Cadiz. 

As soon as these trees fill out, we will not be able to see so far into the woods.

A look at a small lake.  Not very exciting is it?

Not only is the lake water level down, the streams are also suffering.

As you can imagine we are very anxious for spring.  We are hoping for more bike time this summer.

More Snow for Kentucky

More snow for Kentucky!

February 7, 2011 - Cadiz receives 6 inches of snow!

This sure isn't biking weather!!! YIKES!

Winter Blues

I am truly suffering from the WinterTimeBlues! It is cold and dreary outside. And on the inside I find myself the same, cold and dreary. I need something new to catch my attention. I have a couple of projects that I am working on.

~~

The main project is the Christmas Stocking that I have been working on for Liam. It has taken me a bit longer than I had anticipated. I had hoped to finish it for Christmas 2010 - but, it seems that it will be a Christmas 2011 gift.

My second project is organizing old photos. I purchased a photo converter which will take a negative or a slide and copy it to a digital photo. I have a pile of 30 to 40 year old negatives that I am attempting to digitalize. The pictures are not perfect, however, they will be a nice addition to my other photos. And it will be nice to actually be able to view these pictures since I no longer have the originals. Here are a few examples:

My cousins and my Grandma Less (holding me). Notice the huge laugh my Grandma is having - I love this picture!!

This is the Stutzman side of the family on one of many holiday gatherings.

I also continue to work on the familiy tree project. I still need to decide what type of medium I want to put my finished work on. . . paper, disc, etc.

I am so very anxious for the weather to warm up and we are able to get out on the bike and check out the great roads here in Kentucky.
