Snuggle Buddies

Smokey's found a way to beat the cold: Snuggle a pug....that's snuggled up to the heating vent.

O Tannenbaum....betcha don't have a red alligator on your tree. 

Thursday Pet Blogging

Smokey is happy....even though he's playing with one of the dog toys.

Sollie is sad. He doesn't like it when Smokey plays with the dog toys.

Smokey the Blog Kitty

Smokey likes to help me blog.

He's a big help.....not. 

Kitty really lurves the warm laptop. 

Go away you pesky human. 

Site Outage

This morning it was a network issue. This evening it's a DOS attack. Hopefully my regular site will be back up soon. Busy day doing a little bit of everything from weed eating thigh-high grass to cleaning out my sock drawer. But I've managed to catch some of the horrific devastation from Katrina....it's almost too much to believe. And I suspect it will continue to get worse as the true extent of the damage unfolds in the coming days.

May the Good Lord help those poor people because they're sure gonna need it.

Hideous, Isn't it?

Screaming yellow room.

Yay! Finally!

Our new house!

More Kitty Photos

He has the prettiest olive green eyes.

This is closest to his real color. 

Thoroughly bored kitty. 

Our New Kitty

Don't let his innocent look fool you, he's a real spaz when he's awake.

His second favorite place to sleep is curled around a 4 port switch. 

Happy kitty.

OMG, Go Hogs!

Someone has way too much time on their hands:

Summer Squall

Sorry it's a bit blurry. All the lightning striking everywhere was making me a bit nervous. I could just see the headlines:

"Stupid Woman Killed By Lightning Trying To Get Photo For Blog".

It was, in retrospect, a true Darwin moment.

Pea to dime sized, not too serious.

Pieces of April

My stepdaughter planted these when they first moved here. They're gorgeous every year.

I planted these interspersed with bright yellow tulips a couple of years ago. The yellow ones didn't bloom this year for some reason. Prolly something I did. 

There's a nice spread of these beside our driveway....whatever they are.
