Recently I’ve been keeping up with news on Yahoo. Interesting place. You get to read ‘news’ written by contributors. Their contributions are usually their opinions and not exactly news. The fun part comes when you have the chance to give your own feedback to their articles. That gives you the options of having other people give you a thumbs up or thumbs down. Some even give their comments about your comment. (and people think I lead a boring life) After you leave your comment or give a thumbs up/thumbs down to someone you’ll find a visit on you page stats from Sunnyvale, California. Yep, leave a bread crumb trail and Yahoo follows you.

Weather. Always an interesting topic. We’ve had a very mild winter so far. Usually if there’s an ice storm we’ll have tree limbs fall onto power lines. That always means no power for hours and hours. Yesterday, for no apparent reason, we lost power. We could see lights on the block behind us and if you got a peek through the trees you could see lights downtown. Our neighborhood was totally blacked out. No rain, wind, storm damage or anything else. Yesterday was one of those cloudless, perfect sky days. We were without power for 12 hours.  Temps inside the house dropped to 56F by morning. The dogs were snug enough. Husband thought he’d freeze to death. As for myself, I enjoyed 56F. No problem sleeping at all.

That’s about all going on right now.

Today’s photo entry was taken in Hill City, South Dakota. We were on vacation in that area and these little guys were just hanging around on the side of a mountain just across the road from our cabin. I know some argue the Black Hills aren’t mountains but trust me, they’re mountains.
