This Hunt run through February 9.
Number 11, Flower and Number 12, leaf.
It is hard to believe that this geranium is still blooming through the winter out on the porch. We have had several frosty mornings. It was around 40 this morning. It is tough. It made it through the summer of 2014 with no watering for a couple of months other than the bit of rain we had. I left it sitting near Gene's shed. This last summer our friend "T" took it home with her and planted it in the pot and gave it tender love and care. Maybe that is why it is hanging on.
Tonight is First Friday. It is cooler today, probably because we want to go out and walk around downtown, right? It is also our friend's, Mike Henderson's, birthday. I hope he can go with us and celebrate a bit.
It is also the birthday eve of our son Larry. Larry is the caboose and hard to believe he will be forty years old. Yikes! He is working tomorrow with a photo shoot somewhere so we will celebrate on Monday. http://www.larrycastillophotography.com/

My students love using colored pencils, so I have been using them lots too. Most of my students do not color well - not well enough to blend the the colors. It takes time and patience. Very relaxing, if you are in to that sort of thang.
