A Prom... At My Age? Are You NUTS?!

Nope, I'm not nuts, I'm a Sister... a Sister on the Fly, and we have more fun than anyone! Just ask any one of over 1,000 of us! One of our sillier things is the Cowgirl Prom - these happen at various events, but this will be my first one. I found (CHEAPLY) what I thought was a tasteful, unappreciated bridesmaid dress from the pitiful selection on the sale rack at a bridal shop - it has since been brought to my attention that NO prom dress is tasteful, so, I'll just say this one was one of the "least ghastly". It had to be either brown or green to match my gorgeous Donald Pliner mules (killer find on ebay)... add a couple yards of sparkly bargain basement fabric from Joann's for a wrap, some delightful green Wooly Bugger flies for earrings and this girl ready for prom night! Don't want to give too much away here, but I'll share this one picture... is anyone else suddenly craving CHOCOLATE??



Wildflowers

The novelty of scraping stubborn ice and our very special FROZEN FOG off the windshield every morning has officially worn off. But, hope... whoops... I am SO done with that word... ANTICIPATION of spring is right down the hill. The wildflowers have started their spring show and I can't wait until we can take a day to go enjoy them!
This is the internet-famous shot of the Carrizo Plain between Bakersfield and the coast...

Poppies between here and Los Angeles...
