Day Three Hundred Thirty Nine 2010

Snow Day

Snow flurries all day today. So pretty to watch! Cold tonight. The kids are all hoping to be out of school Monday. Maybe they'll get their wish.

Day Three Hundred Thirty Eight 2010

The cardinals are back, looking for food. They usually start to show up in the back yard when the weather turns cold. They are a bright spot in the bleak landscape. Time to buy a big old bag of sunflower seed.

Wishing my Aunt Joy Brown a very happy 96th birthday today!! She played the keyboard, sang, and tap danced at her birthday bash this evening. She's always an inspiration. Like I always say: I want to be like her when I grow up!

Day Three Hundred Thirty Seven 2010

Grand daughter Shelby was awarded a 3rd Place ribbon today for her 4H speech. Her whole class had to participate. She was the last one called up, and she said she was so nervous. But apparently her two minute speech about Destin, Florida, was a big hit.

Kudos to you, Shelby! I am so proud of you! You are always the first place ribbon in my award show! Keep up the great work!

Day Three Hundred Thirty Six 2010

This little wren was fearlessly eyeballing a big fat cat that was skulking around the deck this afternoon. The cat never saw the bird, which eventually flew away. Must be nice--having wings.

Day Three Hundred Thirty Five 2010

Buddy Cat was in hog heaven this morning, sprawled out in front of the fire in the wood stove. He's been there all day, which is a good place to be on a December first, when even the sun is cold.
