A little background on why I named this blog what I did.

I should probably do a little explaining on my title of this blog. First my last name is White. Therefore I live in the "White House." Living in the "White House" makes me the 1st Lady. My physical address says I live in Westwood Ca. (not the one by Los Angeles) but a little mountain town in Northeastern Ca. However I really live in a section out of Westwood known as Pinetown. With all the joking going on between my friends, I inevitably became Pinetowns 1st Lady living in the "White House." With all that said, this is just going to be a more personal blog of my life here in Westwood/Pinetown. My family and friends being a big part of it.
Originally I really wanted to take a picture a day for one year and post it on this blog. Perhaps like a photo diary. My life though is quite quiet and perhaps is not photo worthy for a picture a day but I plan on trying. So why not hop in and take a ride with me through little mountain town U.S.A. You may just love it as much as I do!

Spring Storms and Skywatch Friday

Our thunder and lightning storm I guess turned around last night and decided to hit us again.Here are some of the stormyclouds I saw at Goerge Young's Park. Very pretty
 
  
  
This pic just came out trippy I thought.
I am playing Skywatch Friday with this post also. For more skies from all over just click on Skywatch Friday 
Have a wonderful weekend. And don't forget to always look up! LOL!!!

Red headed woodpecker

This Red headed woodpecker has been a constant companion now at my house for weeks. I have been unable to capture him with my camera. I don't know if it makes any sense but when I WAS able to do so today, it was right in the middle of a cloudburst along with lightning coming up over "my mountain" not quite hitting us yet. Matter of fact all the birds outside were acting strange.
So for todays picture(s) , a Red headed woodpecker frozen on the apple tree.
 
In this one he is actually looking over at the storm approaching. You can see the street is still dry, but it came right after this picture was taken. It only lasted maybe 10 minutes

Mellow Yellow Monday, I got what I had asked for.

MellowYellowBadge
For a week I have been on the look out for yellow. Searching, investigating, exploring. In pursuit of the elusive yellow in my surroundings. You might even say I have been on a true "yellow" vision quest.

Finding nothing except for a yellow school zone sign that was covered in snow, therefore no longer yellow but mainly white with a bit of yellow sticking out and no indication of what this sign even said I decided it was over, done,through, beyond my reach, end of story. I had been got by the color yellow. It won. I lost.

Laying my head down to sleep, I prayed the lord my soul to keep, (and I also just for the heck of it asked if he would steer me to the color yellow in the morning since I was running out of time.) Since I have never ever asked such a thing before I really did not think he would mind.

There's a saying somewhere that goes something like this; Watch what you ask for you just may get it.

Well I got it!


In the form of the biggest snow storm of the winter. I was awakened by the sound of rolling thunder, when looking out my window, I see yellow, alright, in the form of a grader made for plowing snow.


For a whole lot of yellow and a whole lot of pictures head on over to Mellow Yellow Monday. The link is below

View Larger Map This is where I live. To the right of Westwood barely visible is the little section I live in called Pinetown. We have probably 150 to 200 people for our population. Westwood on the other hand is HUGE by comparison with a population of around 2000!
