I had a wonderful birthday! My husband took me out for a late lunch at Red Robin, their specialty is burgers. Then he bought me a camera I am trying to figure it out. Luckily, the cats are just as interested in the odd sounds it makes, as much as the wrist strap that I keep forgetting to put on my wrist. Every time I came near them they stopped and stared.
Even though I hate hair dye, it is time to try again. I saw the necessity when I turned the camera on myself. I had just washed my hair, what a lovely picture …No it wasn’t! I just couldn’t figure out how my Grandmother appeared in the room! I do miss her!
We also went to the Petsmart where we met Doug; he was working and told us about his seventeen cats he saved from shelters. So many people with kind hearts, they do without to help injured and homeless animals.
My morning walk outside was like walking in a cloud. Standing out in the yard I faced towards the west, the house was in front of me, it was similar to standing in a steamy bathroom. I should have felt down, with all that grey and off white. But I didn’t! There was a feel in the air, anticipation of tomorrow. Something was happening somewhere and I wanted to see it unfold.
The snow was melting underfoot. I checked out the low area near the trees to the north. I expected water, but I was met with ice. The ground was frozen solid. All the dry air that held in the sub zero temperatures at the beginning of the year had pulled out all the moisture under the snow. So the snow and rain hasn’t caused any flooding, yet.
The first picture, I took by the front door. You can see the cement front step, the snow and the darkness with the fog beyond.
I added a picture of Kenshin; I like how he seems to blend in with the rug.
He has blue eyes not red, I need to fix that.
Tomorrow I will follow Uriah around. I just hope he doesn’t try to bury the camera.

Rebecca,
I can’t wait for spring, it is hard taking pictures when your hands are freezing.
Gerardine
Happy belated birthday!!
I hope you have a lot of fun with your camera.
I wonder if Uriah would just bury it or would he first try to chew it a bit – just to see what’s on the inside?
richard,
Thank you- I did and I am still enjoying it. I can’t wait for the weather to warm up.
Oh! I never thought of what he would do to it! He almost had it yesterday, I set the camera on a chair in the family room and I caught him sniffing it:-(
Gerardine
Happy belated Birthday. Hope to see many photos with the new camera!
Jen,
