Day Fifty Three

Cruising For A Bruising

These two get into it several times a day. Eddie Kitty is always the instigator. Buddy Cat waits patiently for Eddie to pounce and then gets in his own licks. Eddie wants to play. Buddy just wants to be left alone. Eddie floats like a butterfly, but Buddy stings like a bee. A match made in...well, not heaven.

Day Fifty Two

Sunday Randomness

Sarah's love affair with mustaches continues. She tried this one on for size tonight after church before she dashed off to the youth group devo. I like it.

Today was just crazy beautiful--the temps in the sixties and the sun so brilliant it was blinding--so Neil and I went for a walk around the block. Along the way, I picked up this pretty blue piece of glass and a piece of salt left over from the snow days and put them in my shirt pocket. When we got back to the house, I took my found objects out of my pocket and found another object I didn't know was there--a fortune from a fortune cookie no less. Since my shiny found objects made me happy I figured I'd share my found happiness with you and full fill my fortune for today.

My sister Jane and family gave me these pretty wind chimes for my birthday a few weeks ago. I finally got to hang them on the front porch today beside the swing. They make a peaceful sound when the wind blows and of course the sunny sun catcher is yummy eye candy. Thanks, Foys!

Took this picture with my cell phone camera of a neighbor's tree on our walk around the block. I like the colors in that heavenly sunlight. Totally enjoyed this rare warm and sunny February day today. Hope you did, too.

Day Fifty One

He'd Rather Be Flying

Hubby Neil says I took this picture to prove he actually got something done today around the house. He put a second coat of stain on the outside door frame. And, yes, he did do other things, too, before heading off this afternoon to the fly field where he almost cut his finger off on a propeller blade. He could have used some stitches, I think, but of course why do that when you can Crazy Glue your wounds together? At least he had fun flying his plane.

Day Fifty

Random Snapshots From T.G.I.F.

Grand daughter Shelby walking in sun rays to Granny's house after school today--the first day back to school in a week.

I took this picture with my cell phone camera while I was waiting for Shelby after school this afternoon. I thought the colors were pretty in the sun light.

Take me to your leader. My alien shadow. Weird.

The sunset was pretty reflecting off the last of the snow this afternoon.

The sunshine and the warmth were so welcome today!

Grand son Elijah let me take this one picture of him this morning when I said I wondered what his nose would look like close up. He was feeling much better today.

This has been hiding under all that snow--the beginnings of the Daffodils, Jonquils, Buttercups. Whatever you call them, it means Spring is closer than you think.

Would be nice if this was the last of the icy fingers of Winter.

I like the heart shape of Eddie's head. Pretty neat. He was following me around the yard this afternoon while I took some pictures.

This little snail shell was cozied up next to a Hyacinth that has also been hiding under the snow. I didn't realize so many Spring flowers were popping up around the yard. It's a nice little reminder that the cold eventually goes away and the world will be green again soon.

Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!

Day Forty Nine

The lunch bunch at our mom's place today--around the table from left: brother Ken, niece Sarah, MOM, sister Ann, niece Julia, and sister Jane. It's not that often that we all get to hang out together at the same time. But this day (snow day!) we got to pig on Krystal's and subs and peanut M&M's, and generally misbehave and make a lot of noise which turns out to be mostly laughter. Good for the psyche and the soul and maybe even the circulatory system, who knows. Hope we all get to do it again soon.
And a shout out to my son-in-law Jerry who turns 32 years old today. Happy Birthday, Jerry! Hope you get to go bass fishing soon. We love you!
