| friday morning. |

No, I'm not out shopping.:) Maybe that sounds funny, especially since teenage girls are supposed to have this obsession for shopping, but I can't say I have a fondness for pressing through packs of people just to buy something.:)

So it's a nice relaxed morning for me.:) It's not quite as warm and green outside as these pics might suggest; we've had several inches of snow the past few days and I think it almost got all the way down to zero last night. The kids got out their skis this morning and tried out the hills behind the barn.

We had a great Thanksgiving yesterday with some friends. Lots of yummy eats and great fellowship, games and fun.:) And it actually warmed up to almost thirty degrees! Up here in the north country that's almost a miracle.:)

                               

Some recent pics from the last few weekends...

 

I persuaded my little brother to let me take some portraits.:)

My puppy loves to pose for me. Seriously.:)

One weekend in October Mama, Joy Joy, and I took a "girls' day out" and went to a Victorian-style bed and breakfast for lunch. They served it in this really cute tea room where everything was Victorian style, very feminine, pretty, and perfect for a ladies' day. It was really delicious too.:)

We've been having some gorgeous sunsets lately. There's something really special about the light on a fall afternoon.

The sunlight was perfect for photo shoots a few weekends ago.:)
