Gabe enjoying the many hours of fun in the snow. His checks get so rosy.

Sun and Ice

Winter Evening

Anyone that lives in the north will recognize this sky. It is a classic cold, winter, evening sky. Even without the snow, you would be able to tell that the temps would be near zero. Beautiful, but very cold.

Gracie

Yesterday I posted a picture of Willie, today is Gracie's turn. This pose is one of her favorites. She often lays like this for quite a while. Silly dog!

Willie the Cat

Willie aka Punchy looking like he is a bit annoyed at having his picture taken.

Gray Sunshine

The sun peeking through the gray clouds.

Cold Winter Scene

Mourning Dove

The birds have been especially busy on and around the feeders. The Mourning Doves prefer to feed on the ground and do a nice job of cleaning up the fallen seed from the other birds.

New Quilt

This is the fabric for a new quilt. It is a New Year's Day mystery quilt. I am always a bit behind...it is no longer New Year's Day, but it will still be a mystery as I will only proceed with one set of instructions at a time. The fabric is all washed and pressed. Hopefully I will have time with weekend to get started.

Cold Winter Tree

Punchy and the Train

Willie, aka Punchy loves Dan's new train set. He will sit and watch the train go around and around. Silly cat.

New Camera

I'll start off this years Project 365 with my new toy. Brian got me a new camera for Christmas. My old one was a PowerShot and I really liked it. This one has a few more bells and whistles and a "superzoom". I'm looking forward to taking some great shots with this.

Snow/Ice storm

We had a snowstorm overnight. It brought us a couple of inches of snow and then turned to ice and freezing rain. The trees were all sparkly this morning.

Books

This week we got a box from Chris at ReadItAgainBooks. We love our boxes of books from Chris!

Icy Window

We have had roller-coaster weather...last week we had sub-zero temperatures...this week we had record highs!

Heart Monitor

I am way behind in my posting...last Wednesday, my Dad had a heart attack. He is fine now, but it has been a busy week. Here is his monitor when he was in CICU. All looking good!

Drying Tree

I bought this wrought-iron drying tree from a stove store. It works great. There are lots of little "branches" that allow everyone to put on their hats, mittens and gloves for drying next to the woodstove.
