Definitely a Snow Day

I was ready to go back to work today, but the weather had its own way. It started to snow a couple hours before we went to bed last night and it was still snowing this morning. No school. I shoveled a bit of the deck off and Dick finished it with his small snow blower. The birds were desperate today. They came to feed while I was on the deck, about 10 of them so hungry they ignored me standing off to the side on a break from shoveling.

If you compare this photo to one in my last post you can see that my bird bath is no longer visible. Dick thinks about 2 feet of snow fell. It was so high on the deck, he had to remove it in layers.

On a pleasant note, my amaryllis blossomed again. It bloomed shortly after Christmas and then the second stalk grew slowly. It was nice to have it bloom again during my week home. I have been sewing more little items. I also started on slacks for me, so will post some new sewing pics next time.

A Tail of Two Doggies

Molly met her cousin Cooper recently. It was the usual sniff and wag session for Molly. Cooper is a little shyer, but eventually relaxed. He is a great pooch and I wish he could visit more often. I think it would be good for Molly. Cooper has had other places to go and kitties to meet, so he has been busy traveling. Time for Treats!

Just about any excitement wears out the girl these days, after all she is 89 dog years-old! Meanwhile, this is what we go through to feed the birds around here, if I don't expect them to be right on my deck feeders.

I have been working on a few smallish type sewing projects, but not steady. Dick and I went to Bangor for a couple days, watched the kids from my school in the basketball tournament and visited Keely and Dale. It was a nice break.
