Is it the end or the beginning? Depends upon how you look at it.

Ready for a TMI post of my year in the rear-view mirror? If not, you’ve been warned. Exit now.
On an unusually warm January 2014 day, we headed to the ranch and came face-to-face with prehistoric artists. The petroglyph cave kept me wondering and researching.

March found me smoking and wearing lots of makeup for Threepenny Opera.
Easily one of the best, most interesting days of the year was spent with artist, Andrew Scott DeJesse and his fun wife. We explored the petroglyphs and the ranch topography looking for inspiration.
Boy, did he ever find it.

Found a springtime bird’s nest at the barn. I thought the horrible draught was never going to end. The little birds seemed a hopeful sign.
A very special munchkin turned 1.
Memorial Day found me at this beloved piece of heaven.
Early summer meant branding time.
Someone overachieved when frying chicken for the cowboys.
End of June, I was trekking on the west coast searching for the perfect photograph.
The wiener dog displayed her love of country on July 4th.
Got a new lens for the big camera. What did I choose to capture. You guessed it.
Fall 2014 found me wading knee-deep into a new project….Opera Goofa.
Fall colors spoke to me in Colorado.

Halloween 2014 brought Dorothy and her ruby slippers back.
Oh…and 2014 was the year of the supermoon. How many did we have? I’ve lost count.
And finally….whew!!…..if you’re still reading, you are either certifiably insane or a crazy wiener dog fanatic. Christmas 2014 with the fam.

Thanks for counting blessings with me. Hope you had some interesting moments in 2014, and here’s hoping 2015 is a stellar year.
We’ll talk about goals/resolutions for the new year later. For now, I want to embrace two words for the coming year: dream bigger.
**raising my champagne glass** A grateful toast for you! Thanks for being a friend of this quirky, old person blog. Here, here!!
Glass-half-full-love to all.
