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!

Pine Neeedles and Watery Wednesday

Pine needles caught my eye today at the mill pond. As I was walking towards it, the needles looked like strands of gold floating on the top of the darkest blue water I have ever seen here. The wind was ferocious and the whole pond had a different feel, look and attitude. It was really very pretty.
 
  
  
  
  
 By the looks of this I guess I know now why my town is "Pinetown" LOL!!!
I did the best I could with these pictures, yet I just did not quite capture the golden pine needles the way I wished I would have.

Have a great WW and a wonderful week!

Watery Wednesday and a mud hen

Watery Wednesday and my picture(s) of the day happened to come together this week. I never go to the Mill pond at this time of day (noon time) and thought I would go over and take a gander and I found a goose. LOL!!! Okay so it wasn't that funny!
A person's got to keep theirselves entertained where I live!!!
So I have for you a mud hen also known as a Coot and this one here just did not mind me being there. Of course I have "my geese."
I was impressed by the water in these pictures, and that is why I decided to put them in Watery Wednesday.
 
I just loved the way the water looked in these 2 pictures. Like you could just jump in it!

 
There's just something about the ripples. It is very windy today and a cold wind to boot!

 
I know this is on land and no water but these  guys went in when they saw me.

 
I liked the reflection of the first goose.

Watery Wednesday and a mini feathered friend

Watery Wednesday is one of my favorite memes, however it has been a few weeks now since I got to play. Just haven't had a Watery Wednesday in my life, ya know? LOL!
Out and about on this day with our scorching 36 degree high, I was out looking for a picture of the day for this blog as I do every day.
A few days ago it was real nice and hot and sunny, so it was time to pull out the hummingbird feeder.Placing it in the apple tree in my front yard I was immediately hit with hummingbirds. So today I sat outside with my heavy winter coat on and my wood boots, sitting in my "spring" lounge chair waiting for a picture. I have to admit, that had I seen myself out on a porch freezing ass cold with boots and a winter coat taking pictures of hummingbirds I would have most definitely laughed at my self. LOL! But these are my pictures of the day along with my Watery Wednesday pictures.
After all it is food coloring, a bit of sugar and water that is in the feeder. LOL!!!
Have a wonderful WW!

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!
