This winter was quite short, as our central Texas February temperatures are in the 70s and 80s. I even saw some Mountain Laurel trees starting to bloom. I look forward to hiking at McKinney Falls State Park soon.

Rain Gauge Location
Where’s a good place to put the rain gauge? Must be in a open area, somewhere level. How about a traffic cone!
Rippled Clouds
Two Jelly Rolls
We actually had some cold weather recently, with night temperatures into the 20s. I didn’t like it at all. So I dived into my fabric stash, found some jelly rolls and starting making quilt tops. I have quite a few of the 2.5-inch jelly rolls, so if it keeps being cold, I’ll keep sewing quilt tops.
Bill’s Guitar
After our hike at Pace Bend Park, we had a picnic lunch and a Christmas carol sing-a-long. Bill brought his guitar and he and Gloria led us in song. It was a cold, grey, dreary day (46 degrees with a wind chill factor), we missed a few turns hiking back and ending up somewhere other than planned, and I had the best time! Good company, good music, good food. It just doesn’t get any better.

This is my first photo edited in Lightroom. I signed up for a photography class that starts in January and using Lightroom is one of the requirements. I watched a few tutorials and chose a photo to work on. Might as well get started, right?
Here is the original photo, one I would never choose to post.
A very grey day with grey-looking water in the background.
Before today, the only editing I’ve done on any photo is to crop it, change it to black and white, or downsize it. Looks as if that is going to change. I am looking forward to learning how to be a better photographer and how to edit photos.
