Squirrels in the Snow

I love watching the squirrels play in the snow! We've even seen a black squirrel come out every now and then. I also enjoy taking pictures of them, and the challenge of trying to catch them in action. But sometimes the best picture is when they're hiding behind a tree.

Or in a tree.

Or simply standing in the snow.

Grandma's Orange Cookies

Grandma's orange cookies have been a favorite of everyone's for a long time. Made from a cake mix, they would always disappear as soon as they were ready. Now I've had the chance to make them myself, and I love every part.

Cooling them when they're done.

A Flower in Bloom

Flowers are such a beautiful part of creation that I thought I'd share some pictures of one!

Happy new year!
