To scare wolves
Image
Have you seen these things? They are usually set up outside new businesses to get a driver's attention.

Good neighbors
Image
That's our neighbors from across the street shoveling the snow off our sidewalk on Saturday. Ramona helped for a little while, then decided it was more fun to throw snowballs at her parents. She didn't hit anything but he sidewalk. Dad cleaned up the walkway after her. There was still... Continue reading

It snowed
Yesterday it started snowing mid-afternoon but nothing was sticking. Izzy looked curiously out the window. When she went out to the backyard right before bedtime it was a little winter wonderland. The motion detector on the garage lit up the blackyard. Our desert dog had to hop down the snow-covered... Continue reading

This is an old picture of Lindsay and Joanie from the day after Christmas. Lindsay was working on Christmas. Otherwise, things are still quiet. I think the weather guy at six said that rain was coming in for the weekend, but that'll be fine with us. We're not working out... Continue reading

"Mommy, I did it!"
Image
The little girl has discovered... MAKEUP! She got into Mom's makeup, doesn't quite have doing her eyelashes yet. I think that's mascara on her. She almost looks like it's the beginning of Lent. It was pretty quiet up here. Foggy in the morning, overcast all day. Iz and I took... Continue reading

The camera puts on ten pounds

And if you start out around thirty pounds, adding ten is a lot. Actually, this is another one of those pictures from a phone, Joan's phone, that doesn't translate well. The last time the photos were upside down. This one came out sideways, but when I flipped it right side... Continue reading

On 51st Avenue Joan's recovering from her cold, my throat's been feeling a little sore from my post-nasal drip. This may or may not be a cold. Meanwhile, Joan's daughter Lindsay's dog Cooper likes to sit in the bath tub and watch Lindsay while she's on the toilet. He also... Continue reading
