Sunday In My City: Shovel Needed

This is fun! I {heart} snow. I'm being sarcastic just in case you didn't catch that. Someone recently told me that it takes 2 years to become acclimated to the temperature. My luck in two years we will probably move back to Arizona and be so darn hot we will have to run around naked! At least she is having fun until she couldn't feel her fingers and she realized that there was just too much snow.

Sunday in the Land of Nowhere: My Last Sunday

It is my last Sunday here in the Land of Nowhere. I am a little sad to be leaving. I will miss looking out my window and seeing this view on a cool crisp winter morning:

I will miss driving down my road and dodging one of these (there are a million):

Well come Tuesday it will be time to say goodbye to this place and hello to a new chapter in my life. Stay tuned.....................

Sunday in the Land of Nowhere: Sunsets

It's Sunday. Doesn't feel like Sunday but then again I am in one of THOSE moods. A little Melancholy today. However, today is Sunday's In My City, Hosted by Unknown Mami. That always cheers me up. This does too:

and this flower isn't from the Land of Nowhere but I put it up here because I am going to plant them when we move, or find them to put in a vase, or print out this picture in a big 8x10 and put it in my kitchen (we move in just a couple of weeks) to remind me of the beautiful sunsets and my time here in the LON.

On another note..............

The Drama Mamas are in the kitchen. Eat Your Peas is our new cooking blog, well an old blog of mine moved. Lady Di and I love to cook and bake and eat, especially eat. So I think, I hope, I hear that Lady Di is posting a very very yummy potato recipe (her hubs is a Potato farmer in case you didn't know) so she could be considered the Potato Queen. LOL. I think that is what I will call her from now on The Potato Queen. Anyway, The PQ promised a post. A not so healthy but oh so yummy Potato dish. Check it out, CLICK HERE. Maybe I will have The Hubs pick up some potatoes and cheese (oh you know your mouth is watering) on his way home. I am need of a good comfort dish. Happy Sunday all.

Sunday in the Land of Nowhere:Pickin' Some Goodness

It's Sunday In My City, Hosted by Unknown Mami.

We have a u - pick farm close by. The princesses love to go there and pick the produce. Even though they won't eat it!

Sunday In My City: Rain Rain Don't Go Away

It's Sunday - I love Sunday. I do. I always have but I love them even more because I love participating in Unknown Mami's, Sunday In My City. So fun. So here is a little shot of my corner in the Land of Nowhere. It's been raining and there is nothing better than a desert rain. It is just so cleansing and wonderful. I hope it stays for awhile.

and I had to include this little guy. He is one of many hanging around these parts these days.

Hi all, Lady Di here. I am also sharing a few pictures of my little corner of the world today. Amy always says she lives in the land of nowhere, well, I live in the "salad bowl". The Salinas Valley in California is a rich agricultural area where much of the produce you find in the local grocery store is grown. It's not just salad stuff growing around here though. If you have eaten a few Lay's Potato Chips ('cause you just can't eat one!) you probably consumed a chip made from Salinas Valley potatoes. What? You say. Aren't potatoes grown in Idaho? Yes, they are. However, they are also grown right outside my town. Believe me, I know. My husband manages all 2000 acres of them. They are right in the middle of harvesting right now, which means I am a married-single mom until about November (so I hope you are enjoying those chips). He grows potatoes for Frito Lay and In-N-Out Burger (yummy fries). So here are some pics of the fields and the surrounding valley where we live.

The second picture is a better picture of the center pivot in the potato field. They are automated and even send text messages to my hubby to tell him when they shut on and off at 2 in the morning and what not (lucky me).
Harvested potatoes being processed.

I hope you enjoyed.

Sunday in the Land of Nowhere

I thought I would participate in a meme from the Unknown Mami. She does Sundays In My City, where you take a picture of your city. I of course don't live in a city I live in the Land of Nowhere. The nearest city is 2 1/2 hours away but still I have some pics to share with you today from my neck of the desert. Enjoy.
