Monday Already

I can't believe this weekend went by so stinking quickly. I'm just not ready to go back to work yet. The weather here has been wonderful and I'm grateful for that. I've seen on the news other areas whose weather hasn't been very favorable - tornadoes and other unpleasant type weather. I pray for those affected.

I took quite a few pictures this weekend. I uploaded them to my Flickr account. Here are a couple...





I know the flower below is blurry. I took the picture through a window. But I kind of like the washed out look.

A Quick Note

Hello to all! The day is here. Today is my 17 year wedding anniversary. We are going to a graduation party this afternoon and tonight we are going to the races where they'll have $1 beer and $1 hotdogs.

And - tomorrow... is my BIRTHDAY!!! I can't believe I'm turning 37 already.

Anyway, I haven't been online too often so I thought I'd pop in and wish myself a Happy Anniversary and Happy Birthday! :)

I hope all of you have a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend.

Weekend Snapshot

I missed the Sky Watch Friday and the Camera Critter post that I've been doing, but I can post this picture for the weekend snapshot. My dog Sophie had her puppies Friday evening. She had 3 girls and 1 boy. The boy is the light colored one.

Note: The photo quality isn't the best as this was taken with my camera phone.



They are so adorable. And, because we recently lost one of our dogs, we are considering keeping the black female. We haven't totally decided yet, but we certainly might.

Have a splendid afternoon!

Spring is Here

Did you know that aside from the grass getting greener, flowers blooming and the temperature rising - there is another way to know that the weather has gotten a lot nicer?

Curious?

Here's the clue... when your Google Reader has more than 600 reads waiting to be read! You can tell that I've been busy doing other things besides sitting in front of the 'puter. Not to say I don't enjoy the blogging, but the nice weather just pulls me outside. By the time I go in at night, I'm too tired to sit in front of the computer and try to read.

So..in the event anyone was wondering (doubtful), I am okay...I've just been busy living outside the box.

Weekend Snapshot-Mothers Day

Well, I must say that I feel spoiled! I was struggling a bit with Mother's Day again this year because my mother passed away 2 years ago. So days like this are still a bit emotional for me. However, I must say that my beautiful daughters and husband made me feel special today and I thank God for them. Check out this loot!
Oh and this doesn't include the $150 in gift cards for Michael's. They know I've been totally into making cards and scrapbooking. So they got some stickers and some stamps and ink. The flowers are beautiful and the smell lovely. I truly am thankful and blessed.

Camera Critter Sunday!

Here we are again...Sunday already. I picked a couple photos of a squirrel for this week. The first one I really like because he's got a bit of snow on his nose. The second one, my husband is giving him a treat. I was so excited to get these photos. I certainly had fun with it.

Happy Mother's Day to all you moms, grandma, aunts, etc. Oh and if you'd like to join this Camera Critter meme, you can click on the header graphic above.

Sky Watch Friday

This is a shot of the sunset I took while we were sight-seeing around Washington DC. We had just finished viewing the Jefferson Memorial. I'd like to take another trip out there sometime and actually spend a few days. We didn't have time to do much. But I did enjoy what we did get to see. It was so nice by the river here. The weather was perfect.

Camera Critter Sunday

Sorry I'm a bit late on this. The weather has been nice and I've just been a little busy lately. This week's photo is one I took of a female mallard duck 'shaking it up'. You can even see some water droplets flying off by her bill.

Enjoy.

Sky Watch Friday

I can't believe, we are at Friday again! Time certainly is just flying by. My photo today fits that saying appropriately :). I took this while on vacation. We were at a park next to the Ronald Regan National Airport. You can just sit and watch these jets come in like every 2 minutes or so. I thought it was just incredible because...well I live in a small town in the boonies so I don't get to see this stuff very often. I swear I acted like a little kid every time one flew over. I took this shot as it was coming toward me. The sky itself was a bit gray.

Happy Sky Watching! Have an excellent weekend!
