Sunset

I don't usually write two post in one day but this is the last week for

My Little Home and Garden's Sunlit Sunday .

Yesterday when I was driving home from grocery shopping the sun was shining so brightly as it was setting.

I didn't have my DSLR but always carry my I-phone so these pictures were taken with that.

I am not sure why I have never noticed this building or if I have I never remember it.

Maybe the reason is that there was not very much traffic and I was able to look around.

Also with no leaves on the trees helps.

I have no idea what this building is used for.

The road was plowed to it.

So I am assuming that it is used during the winter.

These pictures didn't turn out very good, but I knew that if I went home and got my camera I would miss out on the opportunity to take a picture. The sunset last night was awesome!

Project 52 - Self Portrait (Week 12)

I wasn't really sure that I was going to participate in this week's theme.

As the theme is

Project 52 - Self Portrait

I don't like having pictures taken of my self and I really don't like to take picture of myself.

I had thought of doing a collage that would show who I am but I didn't get it done.

I had remembered that I took a picture of myself on my I-phone after shoveling snow.

I then used one of the apps to change it a bit and this is what I came up with.

The App that I used is called Be Funky and then I used Sketch Effect.

Be Funky is a free app.

Spring or Mother Nature playing a joke?

We should be enjoying the tulips coming up.

But no... we are shoveling snow

And it is still snowing....

Project 52 - Panorama (week 11)

I am few days late getting last week's project 52 picture out.

The theme was

Project 52 - Panorama

As I don't have a panoramic camera I decided to use pic monkey to change the size of my picture.

This is what I came up with.

I remember when...

I remember when....

Going to my grandpa's house every Saturday for a sauna

Outdoor Sauna in Hancock, MI

As a family every Saturday evening we would all pack into the car and take a drive to grandpa's for our Saturday night sauna. Grandpa lived on an old dirt road in the hills ~ that is if you can have real hills in Saskatchewan. When we would turn off the main road onto Grandpa's road, dad would let one of us kids ride. When we were very little he would set us on his lap and as we got older we would be able to take the wheel by ourselves with dad sitting right beside us.

The sauna was an outdoor one without running water, similar to this one in the picture. The water was heated in a bucket that sat on the sauna stove. There also was a big bucket in the change room for cold water. The stove was wood burning and the place smelt so great once the stove was lit.

My grandfather died close to 30 years ago and it has been many years since I have been out to the farm. My uncle and his family lived on the farm after my grandpa past away and my cousin now still farms there. Although a sauna was built in the house, I am sure that the outdoor sauna still stands. I am going to have to visit there the next time I go home...

Such good memories....

Project 52 - Morning

This posting is late as this is last week's theme

Project 52 - Morning

I had planned on taking a picture of the morning school bus... Well, I did take a picture but it didn't turn out the way I wanted it too... I am going to have to try again. I will still post it today but will re-post if I get a better one. I am going to have to get dressed and go out and take a better one.

So instead I will post a picture that I have used for this theme before.. Morning Coffee..

Barns

It was a couple of weeks ago that I went out and took these pictures of

Barns

There still are a few that I need to go back and take.. the road was busy and I didn't want to be parked on the road for long periods of time as the roads weren't that wide and there was too much snow in the ditches.
