4. McKinney Thanksgiving 2012

Who could have predicted this would be such a wonderful Thanksgiving?  We even had it early - the Sunday before the actual holiday.

The first shot is Loki, Dan's cat.  She was not happy to pose for me.  The second is from our yard a couple of days before we left for Salt Lake.  And the last two are family - Dan (my son) with Jace (his son) and a shot of the whole crew.  Big hugs to my family in Salt Lake for making the day so special.  I love you all.

5. First Race

Are you sensing a theme? Yup, snow.  The first snow of the season came a bit early this year.  I still have not finished cutting back my yard, so several of the flowers were covered in it.  It was a very dry, very cold snow and the temperatures were frigid for the 2nd Annual Walk A Mile In Their Shoes 5K - a benefit for the St. Vincent de Paul Homeless Veterans Program.  We talked Nicole and Mike into running with us.  We ran 3.1 miles, then ate pancakes at O'Shay's Irish Pub.  It was a good time (even if the "feels like" temp was 14 when we started) and a great cause.  Happy Veterans Day and a huge Thank You! to all the troops!

1. Stormy Sunset

2. Red/Pink/Green

3. Park-like Yard

4. Water Catcher

This week was a little more successful.  It really helped to carry my camera around with me.  I also tried to be more aware of things I saw when I was out and about - the photo of the park-like yard was seen on our run on Saturday.  I went back when we were done & took a picture.  The sunset photo may be the last of those for a while.  Since the time changed, the sun is setting around 4:30 p.m. here.  And it's probably the last of the outdoor flower/plant photos as well.  Snow is in the forecast for this week, as well as bone-numbing cold.  I suspect I will have to be much more creative next week.  Enjoy!
