It’s time to make decisions for the 2020 calendar and once again I am asking for your help.
It’s going to be a big post with 29 images. Really only need 13 including the cover, unless I add December 2019 and/or January 2021. Please pick the top ones you like best by assigned number.
2020 calendars will sell for $24 each including shipping in the USA. I am willing to ship overseas but will cost more for shipping. Payment will be made through PayPal. If you are interested in ordering, let me know in a comment and I will send more details.
Hoping these sales will cover the outrageous RV rent for a month, probably in Cedar City, to take care of PT.

Update on two broken wrists: I made a huge leap last Thursday opening and closing the 5th-wheel door from the outside. Also opened, closed, and opened the truck door. Plus turned the key in the ignition, but nothing happened. Stone cold dead batteries. Replacing those today and then may go for a short drive just to prove I can.
Gaelyn there is not one photo here I do not like, but my top pictures by a small margin are 05,06,07,09,14,24,26,27,29, Having said that, I would be happy to look at any of your photos for a full month. I hope to return with some wildlife photos as good as yours in the next few weeks. Hopefully we will get to see Joan for a coffee along the way.
Best wishes and take it slowly, one day at a time. Hugs, Diane and Nigel
Thank you for the feedback. I’m sure you’ll see lots of wildlife and Joan too. Wish I could be there,
These are all great! What a tough decision. My favorites are 7, 10, 11, 14, 20, 21, 23, 26, & 27. Ask me in an hour, and I’ll have a whole new list of favorites. Put me down for a calendar as well please!
Thank you. I will email details soon.

Thanks for helping me out.
Oh my, I have scrolled back and forth 4 times and finally settled on 13(I had 20 on original list). Here are my favorites: 02, 08, 11, 12, 14, 17, 18, 19, 21, 23, 24, 25, 27. All beautiful! How do I order a calendar?
Thanks for helping out. I put you on the order list and will email more info soon.
I’m going to try to comment here – !!! I prefer horizontals for calendars so those favorites are 04, 05, 13, 20, 23, 24, and 25. BUT I adore these verticals: 01, 09, 10, 14, 17, 18, 21, 27 and 28. ALL by very slim margins, I add. I’ll also want a calendar, my dearie.
I too prefer horizontals but have so many nice verticals. Thank you for helping with selection. Your on the order list and I will email more info later. Hugs.
I love them all, but choosing 1-8-9-11-14-16-17-19-25-26-27-29 as favorites! How you are healing well! I will order a calendar ! Let me know which photos you decided to use.
Thanks for helping out. I put you on the order list and email more info later. Also will post final selection.
So glad to hear you are progressing. Hard to pick…I can’t quite see the verticals as calendar pages, so I omitted them from consideration. Then I think the SW as a theme for your calendars is a huge strength, so reluctantly omitted #5, although I love that mother and baby to pieces. … so my favs are 4, 8, 12, 23, 24, 25, and 29. But I will happily live with any of your beauties! Thanks for the preview.
Thanks for helping pick. I too prefer horizontals but have so many good verticals. Healing is slow.
We want a calendar of course. And I agree, no matter which photos you choose, having a calendar made by a dear friend is of utmost importance to us. My picks are 2, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 17, 19, 22, 23, 25, 28 and 29. I would love to have a January 2021 page added because we have Dr appointments that need to be recorded. In the past I’ve written them at the bottom of December, though.
Thank you. I’d like to add Jan 2021, will see. Your on the order list, more info coming.
04, 05, 07, 09, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 21, 23, 24.
Thank you for letting us all make some suggestions!
Feel better, soon, Gaelyn.
Thanks for helping out. Healing is slow, days are up and down.
Some days, five minutes at a time. The, 30 minutes at a time.
We would love to purchase and have a calendar with any pictures you decide to use. Our vote is for 01, 03, 05, 13, 14, 17, 18, 19, 20, 23, 24, 25, 27. Glad to see the healing is going well. We are long time readers and followers of your blog.
Thank you for helping out, and being a long time reader. I put you on the order list and will email info later.

Gaelyn, good luck on your Calendar sales. And, great to hear your getting better functionality. Raises the spirits and promotes healing.
Unusual weather here in the NW. Snow at Crater Lake, central Oregon, and northern California and the Siskiyous. Yesterday our high in the Rogue Valley was 53. Historic average of 88, record for the day, 102. 10-day forecast Lows are 20+ degrees below normal
Correction; Forcast ‘highs’ 20+-degrees below normal.
Thanks for the input. Final selection post should go out tomorrow. I feared getting snow today but just high winds.
Gaelyn, I would like to order 1 calendar and will pay by PayPal when directed by you. Your photos really made choices difficult. Never the less, here are my favorites: 2, 4, 9, 11, 13, 14, 17, 19, 22, 23, 24, 27, 29
