You can see this reflected in the mountain where there is less snow than before.

When I walk around their home filled with the love and craziness of 13 years of marriage and four beautiful kids, I smile at some of my favorite items. I have created a photo journal of those items. http://ourheartshaven.blogspot.com/2011/10/my-sister-home.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Chari)3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6546711257919803819.post-553166510061030493Tue, 11 Oct 2011 23:51:00 +00002011-10-11T16:52:09.363-07:00Photoshttp://ourheartshaven.blogspot.com/2011/10/perfect-for-dadds.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Chari)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6546711257919803819.post-8363204395440191902Tue, 11 Oct 2011 06:26:00 +00002011-10-10T23:27:53.039-07:00FamilyJust pictures.......of our day in Downtown Reno.

Yes, I do that occasionally. : ) So, I was thinking that perhaps it would be fun to keep a photo journal of the different faces of this big beautiful mountain that so frequently crosses my view.
