a girlie photo shoot...

this little girl came to sit a spell...

out the kitchen window this morning...

and I kept shooting...

and she kept posing..

spending the days and nights...

coughing and my sides hurt sometimes...

blowing but not a lot comes out...

taking cold meds and pain pills...

and I have 2 sneezing fits per 24 hours...

to the point that I either almost pee my pants, or I do...

:)

its not fun but its not bad...

a common cold is what it is...

a pain in the butt to deal with and manage...

while pretending to lead a normal life...

which probably isn't happening around here anyway...

LOL

so...

its another day of snortin'...

I think the critters find it amusing...

they sit and cock their little heads sideways...

a couple even put their paws on my arm or leg....

trying to calm me down, I think...

sometimes it amusing...

:)

Lysol wiping everything down...

it the cold doesn't get you, that stuff just might...

we only have one more day after today of cold, cold weather...

and then it gets above freezing and all this stuff is going to melt all over the place!

the long term, rest of the month will be above freezing during the day!

could spring come early...

stay tuned to find out!

another blistery weekend...

we got another 3 inches of snow this weekend...

and everyone came out to partake of the all you can eat buffet....

and after looking closely at these photos...

I have a mission this week...

besides doing the laundry...

and all the other things I do around here...

I need to keep shooting squirrels...

see the one on the right...

he has a bloody paw...

pretty sure its frost bite...

we cannot do anything for him unless we can catch him...

and as long as he keeps moving around as good as he is...

that ain't happening...

so my plan is to keep shooting squirrels and enlarging the photos...

keeping an eye on his paw...

and since I cannot tell one from another...

from the kitchen window...

I will have to shoot them all and hope I get him...

we had 9 male cardinals yesterday morning...

that's the most we have ever had...

DH went back to work this morning...

Craig is off today...

bottom part of the furnace in coming today...

and I want a nap already...

LOL

still making snot and blowing my nose all the time...

I don't feel real bad or nothing like that...

but cannot bend over without dripping...

so ready for spring, even with the allergies...

have good days!

what are the odds?

that 3 people who graduated from our little town...

just happened to be in Hawaii yesterday morning...

getting ready to go on the tour of the USS Arizona...

the World War II memorial...

when the ballistic missile warning happened? 

2 of them were traveling together...

and the third was with her spouse...

we are a very small town of around 1000...

I am sure they will never forget this trip!

ever...

I got her!

finally!

the girlie one!

she is a fast one!

well, it wasn't as bad as it could've been here...

but bad enough...

and the wind just drives the cold right through you...

DH has a bad cold and feeling icky...

I am up with the start of one and a sore throat...

took some cold meds and waiting for them to work so I can go back to bed...

I had a really good day yesterday and got a lot done...

he was moving slow and if he sat long enough...

he was nappin'...

he is off for 3 days this weekend, so hoping to get him on the mend before he heads back to work on Tuesday...

I don't think we will get much done today...

but there isn't much to do...

have good days and stay warm!

3:45am...

good morning...

not sleeping tonight much...

listening to the sleet and freezing rain hit the window panes...

its been doing it for hours now...

we are covered in ice...

I really don't think anyone is going to work today...

stay safe, stay warm and stay home!

just a tease of things to come...

we have rain and its 58 out there!

I have been out on the deck...

with my camera...

and you won't believe what I found!

one of the roses is all greened up...

amazing...

but this 58 day is just a tease!

in just hours, we will be in the low 20s...

with freezing rain!

stay safe and stay warm while mother nature whacks out on us!
