I’m in love with my 100 year old oiled floors. I could look at them all day.

Elk burgers for dinner. Yum

Mr. Cyprus got these wonderful overalls for Christmas, and we are getting ready to put them to good work cleaning the barn. Notice they are already nice and dirty, these will get some GOOD use.

Home again, home again jiggety jig!

After 14 years away, I am really enjoying the beauty of the high desert.

Happy Christmas to my cherished family and friends!

Happy solstice. May this dark season bring you light.

I’m an auntie! I’ve got another sweet nephew, Finley Ward, welcome!

Miss Daphne has now learned to swim across the pool without any assistance, no help from me, no floaties, nothing. As a reward, we got her some spiffy new goggles! Check these out! She thinks they are pretty cool!

We routinely go swimming 1-3 times each week. It is a fun way for the kids to get out of the house and exercise. I do have an underwater housing for the video camera, so I get to take video of the kids under the water.
