Bonus post just for fun.....

A few days ago Eric Alder posted his fine photo of 

"Board with Nails"

Well! I couldn't resist this opportunity to post my

response to his photo. 

Here is my version of "Bored with Nails"

Merry Christmas? Ha Ha Ha Ho Ho Ho

My goodness Grandma what big teeth you have!
(those are actually bear teeth...not a doggie there
on the floor)





















Russell posing at Froelick Gallery's Holiday Party















Here's a photo of our backyard
taken during Christmas 2008
when it snowed so much no one
could get any where and I called
it the "Home Alone Christmas"
and below is a hilarious take on
Christmas by Steve Martin.
I totally stole this idea from
a fellow blogger and here is her link:

She has a great blog-read it-it's witty, sharp, acidic and irreverant-I love it!

F is for Fennel W is for Walking

Since our weather has been pleasant lately I have been walking to our library.

Here are a few things I have seen along the 2.5 mile walk...

Lake Oswego has an outdoor gallery of sculptures scattered throughout the city....some good some not so hot....I like this Totem made from recycled motorcyle parts....


At the base of the Totem is this plaque-

So I thought what do I do?

Well for starters I walk to the library and spend 2 hours helping out....

On the way to the Library I photo what I like-

I love this green moss and leaning tree with ferns....

Looking even closer at the ferns...........

I love getting a pedicure every 6 weeks or so....

My one really luxurious treat....ahhhhhh

And I love to cook- here's another addition to the Alphabet Recipes....

One thing I forgot to do before I took this photo was to garnish the dish

with a few fresh Fennel fronds....both Russell and I enjoyed this meal....yay.

Have a great weekend everyone!
