Plugged Back In, and Giveaway Reminder

How is the first Monday of the year shaping up?  Hard to get motivated?  Excited about the clean slate?  Both??

Don't forget about my Blogiversary Giveaway (I think I accidentally called it a contest... I always get those mixed up.. but whatever  :) that ends at MIDNIGHT CENTRAL on January 9th.  It looks like we'll only have one winner--I'm not holding my breath on reaching 300 followers by then--so the winner will get a $15 gift card emailed to them for Amazon. If you haven't entered yet, you might as well!


I had a nice unplugged New Year's weekend at a friend's parent's ranch near Waco.  Did some knitting, reading, picture taking, and lots of good eating!  Here are a few pictures:

Kissed by a cow!


A curious donkey named Rebecca.


Sunset...


Super old tractor likely left by the previous previous land owners.


First time one of my sun flares gave me a polygonal shape vs round... must be the lens filter...


Sunset again...


My friend's dad owns a car dealership in Waco and this is part of one of their old signs they have out at the ranch.


Some really cute pink berries--no clue what they are.


Holly with a color effect for funsies... so long Christmas... see you next year!

    Gorgeous photos. Thanks for posting them. I love the cow, and the old tractor. =o)

    I spent today out on a book-buying spree. That was motivating, but only to read more. I need some serious motivation to get back to writing.
