Decisions, decisions, decisions

Okay, I know I've become a horrible blogger.  I have no excuse other than have no time to spare.  I'm working longer hours, I keep my weekends packed with various activities.  If I'm not working or playing then I'm way too busy for blogging.

I promise to change my ways, or at least try to change my ways...soon, very soon.

Right now I need advice though.

For the first time in my life I'm going to pay someone to pay the inside of my house.  I've always done it myself, but I've finally gotten to the point in my life where I can hire the job out.  After all, what's the point of earning all that money if you don't spend it?  I've gotten bids and I've selected my contractor.  Now I just need to pick a color.

Let me start by saying that my life has always been some shade of brown.  Brown walls, brown furniture, brown flooring.  It's time for a change, but not too big of a change.

Here's the choices:


Three shades of gray and one obligatory shade of beige.  The beige has been ruled out so what do you think...light gray, medium gray, or dark gray?


Here are the same shades on one of our white walls.  When the painting project is done there won't be a single white wall left in my house.  Woohoo!  (I really dislike white walls.)

So feel free to leave me a comment and let me know your choice.  Keep in mind that the majority of my house--living, dining, family rooms, and kitchen--will be painted this shade so the color you choose is really important.  If it comes out really bad it will be all your fault; however, if it comes out totally awesome you will get all the credit. 

What's it going to be?

(After we choose the shade of paint then we can start thinking about the new curtains, pillows, and other accessories that will coordinate perfectly.)

I like the one in the bottom right corner. The top right is too dark and the top left has a blue undertone.

Skywatch Friday: A little close for comfort

Image
We had a fire out here on the eastern plains of Colorado last week.  I kept getting reports on the fire's location on my cell phone while I was at work.  Then a warning popped up that let me know it was time to hit the road and go home to prepare to evacuate the critters. When we initially got home it was still a decent distance away. Within 30 minutes it had come up over the ridge and flames were visible. The winds were gusting 45 to 50 mph.  It was a fast moving fire that burned 5,000 acres in only four hours.  Then the most amazing thing happened--the winds died down and the firefighters got in under control by 8:15 that night.  Thank you, Lord! Have you ever had to stand in your house and wonder what you should take out with you?  There were only two things I could think of...1) my critters and 2) my passport so I could still go to Europe next month.  Irv and I agreed that we need to get things organized so we can just grab a box...

Skywatch Friday: Upper and Lower Falls

Image
Yesterday I got to visit the recently completed Uncle Tom's Overlook along the Yellowstone River in Yellowstone National Park. This is the first really good look I've ever had at the Upper Falls of the Yellowstone River. These falls are almost as good as the Lower Falls. After leaving the Upper Falls you go downstream for a mile or so to.... ...Artist's Point which has the very best view of the Lower Falls (in my opinion).  In this location the view is perfect, so perfect that it look like a painting. This is just one of the features of this Park that make it my heart and soul.   Linking with Skywatch Friday

Skywatch Friday: Wild Horses!

Image
 The Salt River wild horses have been eluding us since we arrived in Arizona several weeks ago so today we went in search of them again. This time we started at the Coon Bluff Recreation Area.  First we went one way down the river, but soon had to turn back because we didn't bring any rock climbing gear. Then we turned around and went the other direction. The water in the river was crystal clear, but no sign of fish or horses. There are times when I really miss my dad especially when I want to know what kind of tree I'm looking at.  This one has something that resembles Spanish moss hanging down.  What is it? This riparian area that surrounds the river has all kinds of wildlife.  Today we saw theses white egrets. This gray heron was also hanging out in the distance. We met a guy carrying all kinds of photographic equipment and he said we needed to go about a quarter of a mile further down the river to find a spot where the horses cross every afternoon around 5:0...
