Photo Challenge Still going

I took photos this week of the old Hotel in town.  Now it's privately owned and people live there.  But historically it was a hotel.  It's a great well preserved building here. 
I also love my new yarn and spindle.  the yarn was hand spun by a very good friend.  I can't wait to learn how to use it.







This is my mother's Christmas tree just before I took it down this year. 












Last is a photo of the fog I had to drive through this morning.  I heard it was
worse to the north.  This photo is looking back toward the Interstate and the town.

Photo challenge


I read a facebook post about a photochallenge.  It somehow involves taking a photo per day.  I wondered what would happen if I took 1 photo per day.  Would it be random photos that left me wondering why I did this?  Will it cause me to stop and look at the world around me?  Will my photography improve?  Is there any benefit at all?  Is this just a random challenge someone made up to see how many people would fall for it.  I don't know what to do with the photos so I thought I would post here. These are my first two photos.  I guess we'll see where this little challenge takes me.

Hello 2013!!

Happy New Year!!  Hoping for a very good year!  Not so sure about the number.  2012 was a very nice number.  2013 is very iffy as a number.  But we've started by getting a couple inches rain yesterday.  Congress has apparently averted the fiscal cliff.  I'm sure they'll have plenty of bad stuff to say about each other, but they got something done.  I got some really cool stuff from my Grandma;s pie safe.  Stuff I didn't even know she had.  I love the triangular plates with a place for the matching cups to sit.  I doubt any of it has value to anyone, but me.  And the deli was open at the grocery store.  So I got a great dinner.  I am finally home with nothing I have to go do.  Cool.
This year I want to improve at work.  Nothing huge, just step up a little.  I want to knit hats to give to the Lord's Pantry or something like that.  I want to serve God.  I don't want to be on a committee at church.  I want to make a housing change.  I want to visit my parents at least every four weeks.  I want to be more active physically.  I want to continue painting ceramics.  It's just too fun.
I will not promise to be organised or cook.  I will not promise to exercise every day.  I will not promise to read 20 books.  Not going to happen.
Hoping for a great year.  Trusting God through it all.
