more final february photos

amy sent me these photos of her adorable puppies. noodle is very gentle with his little stuffed animals.  he carries a tiny little one around sometimes.  numie, on the other hand, is delighted to shred anything and everything he can get his little paws on....

kitties, for a change, on this last day of february…

and for some reason this morning i am obsessed with posting all the remaining photos from february.  i hate it that i usually end up posting a few random photos from the month before on a brand new month… why must i obsess, though?  who on earth but me would...

deer and kitties…

it’s cold and windy this morning, and i went out to put food in the birdhouse feeder and kept the screened porch door open cause i thought lester had gone in…but then he darted outside, and then i went to close the inside door, and there dashed chester,...

kitties and deer…

last night bev said i should name my site “cats and deer” and i do believe she’s right. here are les and chester, being darling and sweet and cleaning each other, which of course leads to KITTY WARS! just yesterday i was trying to call bev but i...

NEW ENGLAND POST!

at this rate, i’ll be done by…well, i’ll never be finished.  there’s still so much video to go through, but i must continue because very soon it will be warm all the time and i’ll want to be outside as much as possible. i’m about to...

oh, the gowns and the mouthwatering cranberry bars…

last night, lots of watching tv.  loooooots and lots of watching of the oscars, which lasedt almost forever.  i turned the tv on at four when i started getting some food ready, and the only oscar thing i could find was the channel listing of channels, and mostly it...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOM!!!

she is probably way way way too busy talking on the phone to the many people calling to wish her happy birthday, but eventually she will sit down and open her computer. we took her to brunch at Abe’s Restaurant, which is in the travelodge hotel on 6th street...

the other part of sunday…

mom and dad bought a new house.  yes, they did just move a few years ago, but they moved into a duplex with a neighborhood association and many neighbors whose only purpose in life was to make sure that mom and dad were following all the VERY IMPORTANT RULES.  like,...

sunday…

on sunday, i had the pleasure of babysitting numie and noodle for a while.  i haven’t seen so much of them lately, so it was a lot of fun for all. here they are, about to be SET FREE BY ME! they quickly settled into one of the giant chairs to survey the scene...

cuuuuute chester…

kevin videotaped chester playing with the stream of water coming from the kitchen sink.  he’s SOOOOO CUTE. so is chester.

as the month comes to a close…

…i have more pictures of les! he was sleeping out on the screened porch a few days ago and amy said HE MUST BE SO COLD OUT THERE!  so i covered him up. we had a game night on saturday, and les took up his position in the sink as i got ready.  he could barely...

deer walk

kevin has been walking to his drumming class at lincolnland at night, and he keeps telling me about the many many deer he sees.  he’s seen as many as 50+…i think this must be deer happy hour, as they all congregate out on the soccer field to watch the...

it’s all about the chocolate…

ok, valentinve’s day isn’t ALL about the chocolate…kevin also got me a beautiful bouquet of a dozen roses, plus a wonderful print of a sweet “mutts” comic strip, and a couple of cards, one of which is an hilarious pig with wings singing...

les, naturally

once again, last night he was lying in his favorite chair and every time i looked over at him he was looking CUTER THAN EVER, so i kept taking pictures with my phone. i shouldn’t have been so lazy, and should have gotten my camera so the pictures would be...

monday morning

it’s gray outside and last night the weather girl seemed gleefully excited about the fact that IT’S GONNA SNOW. blegh. mom said, “oh, it won’t snow.”  mom is an eternal optimist, weather-wise. the other day les was lying in his favorite...

honestly,

i don’t spend ALL my time taking pictures of les paul. i do have to chase him down when he escapes again. but how could i not take a picture when he’s looking so cute??? he and chester both like to spend a little time lounging on top of the hot tub, since...

tuesday tuesday tuesday

amy sent me this beautiful photo that jim took the other morning from their deck.  this is the benefit of being a VERY VERY early riser. it would be great to get up early and see the sun rise, except for the getting up early part of it. ok then, mrs. chilly tuesday...

busted!

in the ongoing battle between kevin and les paul, les continues to win.  i realized today that this has been going on practically since we first got him, last june. it may just last the rest of their lives, or at least as long as we still  live here. kevin always...

warm, warm february

wednesday, the first day of the last winter month, i took lester for a walk because it was warm and wonderful but mostly because he REALLY REALLY INSISTED that he DESPERATELY NEEDED TO GO FOR A WALK. we went all the way down to the little beach area between amy and...
