It's been a wild few days out west!  High winds, threats of flooding and lots of high anxiety.  Good news, we were saved by a drop in the temperature.  Bad news, I've neglected my crafting since last week.  Now that I've put my "Tack Room" back in order I can get back to work.

While I'm busy cutting and pasting the next blog post, here's a few pictures from around our house last weekend.

Looking across the canal surrounding our neighborhood. No, this isn't a river.

 A neighbor's tree. Just missed the house.

One of our four-legged neighbors.  I don't think he liked the storm.

Yahoo! Blue skies by 5:00 thanks to a sudden change in the weather.

Watch for the the re-launch of my newsletter, the Wild West Gazette.  I'll have the instructions for Poppy the Snowman as promised!
