Feline Friday! February 24, 2023


 Some cats do not mind the snow!
We got a lot of snow today-
so while we are out shoveling 
our friends cat is exploring! 
And our Lucy is rolling around in the catnip
warm and cozy in the house!


Thanks Mimi for Feline Friday!
Happy weekend everyone!

Thankful Thursday February 23, 2023


Lucy cannot believe it is snowing!


Oodles of birds at our feeders!
Red and Yellow Shafted woodpeckers, 
Downy woodpeckers, Varied Thrushes 
and all sorts of Chickadees. The Starlings are
coming in now and we would just as soon
they fly back to England! They take over.
Anyhow- all of us are enjoying the snow
and the birds too! We need the snow on our
mountains and melted snow in our rivers
and creeks! We are thankful for all that we can get!
Have a lovely day and many thanks to Brian for               Thankful Thursday!!

Thankful Thursday! February 11, 2021



I am so Thankful for all the fun I had as a child
and as an adult in the snow!
 Throwing snowballs, building snowmen,
sledding, skiing and snowshoeing! 
Not to forget just looking at the snowflakes falling.
Have a wonderful day! Enjoy what is given to you!
Thanks Brian!

Wordless Wednesday! December 16, 2020

I am quite late posting as my computer insisted it
needed to go to the Computer Geek.
I complied of course and it was a good thing too!
So no more visiting some blogs as 
that's where I got the malware. Boo Hoo.



This photo was taken a few years back
when we still lived in the Northern California
mountains. We used to go on Friday hikes
led by Neal Clarke and he took this amazing photo!
Have a lovely day!

The Eddy Mountains
Taken some years back when we lived
in Weed California.
Right now they are getting lots 
of snow and we are NOT missing plowing!
Happy Day Before Thanksgiving!

Lucy poses while a friend sketches
our Gray Whale vertebrae.
Years ago a friend from work gave me this
as a retirement gift.  This was after I kept
bugging her to give it to me!
Have a great weekend!

2018 Photo Project March 1, 2018

We've sure had a peculiar winter....
unseasonable sunny days and NOW
we get snow? None of us really want
to dust the cobwebs off our snow shovels....
but I don't think we have much choice!

Awww Mondays AND Sparks! February 26, 2018

 
Our nearby neighbors have a new puppy.
Toby in front is about 8 months old and
the little guy in back just joined the family!
Ryder is about 2 months old and cute as
the dickens! We haven't met him yet, but
pretty soon we will.
 He starts obedience school next week and
judging by how well Toby picked up
good manners Ryder won't be far behind.

Feline Friday January 20, 2017

 
 
 
Yep it was a glorious day after a night of wind and snow...
 

 
Lucy snoozed while we shoveled and plowed for 3 hours!
Now our car can get out of the garage
and we can drive down our very long driveway!
 
 
 
Have a lovely weekend!
