Gratitude Project : People
These are my People. Since all of my people are in different parts of the country right now - I had to go back to when were all able to get together for my photo choice today.
When the world shut down, I got lucky and they all migrated to my house. Which to me... was perfect.... I had them all under my roof!! And I LOVED it!!!
Gratitude Project Day 15: Something someone did or made for you:
Over my Years of working with Veterans - I have been given some amazing Coins - and I really love them. They each tell a story, and remind me of them - but I didn't have a great way to store them.
My family did this for me:
And I love it - I love the way I can display each one
Gratitude Project Day 13 : useful
This one is kinda fun for me, just about everything in my life is useful in some way... Whether its work, play or just my viewing pleasure....
But for this prompt I picked this... as my Useful..
What you see is a Truck and Trailer hauling hay... very useful - keeps my horses and cows fed. But! What you don't see... is the man in the truck... My husband. I think he might be the most useful of this whole set up ;-) He willingly gets our hay, unloads it and sets it up so I can feed easily... Don't tell him... but I sorta like him ;-)
Gratitude Project Day 12: Solitude
My favorite way to sneak away from it all is to head up to the High Country... find some snow - and do a little hiking or snowshoeing. Then while I am there I try to pretend I am a famous photographer ( can you guess who? 😁 ) and see the landscape through Black and White.
Sometimes it works... other times.. Not so much, but either way I have gotten outside and gotten fresh air!
Gratitude Project Day 11:
One of the things I have always been grateful for is the ability to provide Veterans touched by War with a tangible hug, in the form of a Quilt. Specifically - A Quilt of Valor ( qovf.org) . I love that we can offer a thank you, a hug, and something to keep them warm.
We were able to honor this particular WWII Veteran this week - and I truly believe that smile says it all. And of course - that makes my month!
Gratitude Project Day 10: Masks or Something that keeps you Healthy:
I interpreted this in the heart healthy way....💖
DARK CHOCOLATE .... well .... really any kind of chocolate - right??
Day 9: Favorite way to recharge.
Today I was going to show you the sunset from my deck - but.. it started snowing , and there is no sunset....I am cheating a little bit, and going back to a pre-snow day - to show you the sunset from my deck.
It is one of my favorite ways to recharge, that along with hiking, brings me peace.
Although the snow is pretty too, it just doesn't have as many colors as this one...
its a two fer today!! ha ha!!
We will start with Day 8: Animals in your life
Well this little one is quite the character - and we all love him. He came from the pound. We adopted him when my boys were pretty young and we were told he would never be a fun family dog. They couldn't have been more wrong. He is the best family dog, he is loyal and protective ( even for his small size) and! He even loves to cuddle!!
This is him - making sure all the cows are in the right spot, and the horses are behaving....
Day 7: Something that reminds you of a friend
This was pretty appropriate timing! I got a little bag in the mail, from my friend - who sorta started me down the road called *quilting* She was a avid seamstress, and fell in love with quilting, and one day she suggested I make a quilt - and BAM!! Look at me now!!
Anyways - this was what was in the bag - and I will make a Quilt of Valor for a Veteran touched by war with them!

Recently I have been reading Fact based Fiction about women Pilots - this one is about the Women air Service Patrol during WWII - and I love it!!
They were just so brave and amazing women!!
Gratitude Project Day 5 : Trees
Well the prompt also called for Green, but since fall has hit here... Green is hard to find.
And since this week I am trying to find things around my place to fit the prompts - I thought of our Apple Trees, that sometimes produce, and sometimes are there just to look pretty!
This angle allows the sky to really create a dramatic backdrop, and it can make me dream of Apple Pie....
Gratitude Project Day Four: Movement : what makes your cheeks Rosy?
This was a harder prompt for me... I do not want a photo of me trying to exercise - ha ha!! But! this one here - makes my cheeks rosy, we go riding in the morning and its still nice a cool.!
Something at home that is cozy:
Gratitude Project Day 2 : Seasonal Shoes
After a day of prepping the horses feet for fall 😁 -now they have their seasonal shoes on... I can tell you I am very grateful for my Horse Shoer!
Gratitude Project Day 1 :Obvious
While my family should really be the obvious choice to photograph, my horse wins today. I am grateful to live where we can ride, have wide open spaces, and enjoy life.... so naturally - one of my favorite horses wins todays choice
