Winter Road


Went for a ride looking for a hiking trail that didn't require skis or snowshoes. Didn't find one. But, the drive was nice. At the top of the road is a campground that is closed for the winter. There was quite a bit of snow there.. and the road isn't plowed up here. just the few brave souls and the sun are clearing the snow out. Thankfully, we didn't get stuck and four wheel drive was working nicely. All and all, a good end to the 2008 year.

Charlie's Wheel


We all went for a walk along the river walk today. the weather

this week has been nice and warm. In the 50's and sunny.

sectoral heterochromia

I was concerned about a new movie trailer I saw on TV recently.. "The Unborn". It's about a girl who has two different colored eyes. She finds out that she was a twin and the other baby died in the womb. Now the unborn brother she never new is out to haunt her and get his revenge. Well, as those who know me, also know I have multi colored eyes too! So I did some research. No I am not a twin. But, It is hereditary. So from this I am safe from haunting. When I was in grade school I used to tell the kids that picked on my eye color that I was a witch and not to make me mad. Or I would go out into the woods on the next full moon and cast a spell over them. lol! It was fun while it lasted.

So, by definition - what I have is called Heterochromia, A condition in which the two irises of an individual have different colors, or in which one iris has two colors.The Partial Heterochromia that I have is rarer. Most people like husky dogs, cats and horses have one eye that is say blue and the other is brown. I get to be a mixed up mess, lol!
