ALL THE BEST TO EVERYONE IN 2013

Our daytime high never made it out of the mid 40’s & subsequently, I never made it too far out of the warm house.  Our usual morning walk in the quiet desert, a little raking in the Cactus garden, & that was enough of being outside for me.

Didn’t have any photos for tonight’s post so it was little Rascal Buns to the rescue.

Hadn’t planned on starting my bathroom paint project for awhile but with nothing else to do today, I moved up my indoor schedule.  Sitting in my recliner watching television is not my idea of a mentally productive day.  Besides, if I have to listen to those two annoyingly repetitive words, ‘fiscal cliff’ any longer I am going to go absolutely & completely bonkers!!

It was one year ago today we bought our cowboy hats.  And where did we get em?  TOMBSTONE ARIZONA OF COURSE.  Kelly’s first one & my third.  Lots of colorful characters on Tombstone’s main street that day & my camera was able to catch a few of them:))

WYATT & THE BOYS HEADING FOR THE OK CORRAL

And a close call for little Louie as Jean & Skip stressfully waited for a Vet in Brawley California to perform a type of surgery on Louie that we had never heard of before.  A TALE OF A TAIL.

After reading my Sunday night post, GYPSY had a few more thoughts on aging:))

And on this last day of 2012 I say thanks to all you folks who have inspired me to keep this blog going for another year.  I thank everyone for their patience & understanding.  And I also thank readers for giving me the encouragement, purpose, & confidence to pursue my hobbies of writing, photography & travel.  Kelly, Pheebs & I wish everyone out there all the best in the coming 2013 Year.  Bar none:))

Oh, & what will the Bayfield Bunch be doing for New Years Eve??  Same thing we do every year……sawing logs:))  And no, it’s got nothing to do with a lumber business.   zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

GROANER’S CORNER:(( And, it’s not so much the Fiscal Cliff that concerns me the most about the coming year as it is…the Physical Cliff…….AL.

  4. Happy New Year to all of you. We definitely won't see midnight around our house unless the fireworks wakes us up. Yep - neighbors behind the park have been shooting them.

  9. Happy New Year to the Bayfield Bunch. A great blog, great posts and fantastic photos...it's a joy to read.

    I only have 16 minutes to stay awake....I usually go outside at midnight and look at the stars, this year will be in a rain/snow around 32 degrees.

    Here's to a great 2013 to you and yours.

    2013 is the first time since 1987, where they year has 4 different numbers.

  11. I don't think there is anything funnier or cuter than the contortions a dog can go through while sleeping. You caught some great ones today. You won't have to talk her into sawing logs tonight!

  18. Pheebs is the perfect example that this world is "going to the dogs"...a vast improvement, I would say...We heard the fireworks across the bay at the marina, but my sorry ass was too firmly planted in bed to look out the window...Happy New Year to the Bayfield Bunch...Good Karma for the new year too!
