tall shadows

subjects in photo are much shorter than they appear.

sweet Sophie

sunbathing in the house

Chloe found the one patch of sun in our living room to sun herself this afternoon. (We recently moved a chair that blocks most of the sunshine in that window.)

She obviously loved it.

putting the dehydrator to work

Quite possibly one of the best Christmas gifts we have ever received - the food dehydrator.

let the melting begin

Crazy to think that we had over 8 inches of snow a week ago, and we were sledding down these hills six days ago.

I'm so glad to see grass again.

sunset near Church Street

Taken as we were leaving the Fine Arts Theater this evening.

perfectly smooth snow

Five days later, the snow in our front yard is still untouched.

silhouette of a cat

Chloe and I relaxing this evening.

here comes the sun

Look! The sun! And it melted some of the ice off the roads today...

killer icycles

Taken from my office window (inside my home - which I did not step outside of all day.)

sledding

We had more than 8 inches dropped on us today....so we went sledding.

Sophie in action

Two photos today. My mom and I took Sophie to a field near our houses, to let her run (and mainly allow me to try to get some fun photos.)

snow-filled tree

This is a dogwood tree in our backyard this afternoon.

We're expecting a larger snow storm to begin Sunday night. I'm not sure if I'm ready for it.

snowy tree

The limbs in our front yard this evening - we have about 2 inches of snow (more on the way) and I'm trying to salvage what's left of my camera.

No flash. Kind of blurry. Kind of like my day!

broke my camera trying to photograph the cat

This was taken just after the flash blew out on my camera.

Now I need to borrow a camera, and get mine in a shop to be fixed. Not good for a 365 blog!

And this is the photo that broke the camera:

a new hiding spot

We just made our coffee table a coffee table (instead of a tv stand), which offers a new place for Chloe to hide and play with her fish.

someone thinks she's human

Chloe's thing this week is to sit at the table when we sit down for dinner. Lucky for us, she doesn't sit ON the table.

Don't worry - I clean the table, and she's reprimanded if she tries to jump onto the table.

bright start

Started the year off with one of my obsessions (and it isn't my cat.) My cinnamon stick Yankee Candle is burning today. I love it.
