i took these pictures of sculptures outside a casino near the state line on my last road trip. the sun was just going down as i was getting there. i thought they would make a great silhouette since they were back lit. got a good picture and won a few bucks there. normally i dont care for yard art but these looked good on the hillside behind the casino. i noticed them as soon as i drove up.

we didnt get the snowfall the weather guy predicted. yesterday i noticed on tv that many churches were cancelling their services. we had our ceremony on the rez though. a good crowd turned out. everyone braved the cold and snow. it didnt seem to bother anyone. everyone made it there and home safe.

i had an appointment at the clinic this morning. had to do lab work. i go as a precaution. i get checked out regularly. i have known too many indians that dont like to go to the doctor. they let things go sometimes too long. i wondered how they would have been if they caught their problems early. i was glad the clinic was open since alot of places are closed today. i had my blood drawn and i refilled one of my meds while there.

i went to a garden show in topeka this past weekend. i havent been to it even though it has been held every year. i wanted to see what they had. i bought a couple of bare root raspberry bushes and a gooseberry bush. i have a mixture of tame and wild gooseberry bushes growing in my treeline on the north side of my house. i like both varieties. the tame ones are bigger but i like the taste  of the wild ones. together they make a great pie. the lady at the stand told me to put the bushes in the refrigerator until about april or so. i guess to keep them dormant. then i transplant them where i want them. i also picked up alot of free wild flower seeds that various stands were giving away. i picked a few packs of seeds for early garden crops. with all the snow we have had this winter i think gardening will be good this year.

the buffalo hides i was given a few days ago have frozen because of the cold. that is okay with me. now i can get to them when i get a chance. they wont turn on me. i am finishing up another roach head dress. i have to keep churning them out while it is still winter. i get real busy during spring. my big garden keeps me outside. that is almost a full time job but well worth it because of the chemical free food i get out of it.

the jayhawks are on the tube again tonight. will certainly watch that game. seems they are just starting to peak at the right time. will continue to follow them all the way this year. gotta get busy before the game….
