I think spring might be coming!!

We have had crazy weather--from sun to rain, cold, snow,sleet, ice, hail and thunder this week It has been sunny but cold the last couple of days. I am hoping for spring soon.

They have 3 eaglets in the nest again this year Here is Po--the panda cub at Atlanta Zoo Phoebe the hummingbird with her second clutch of babies Mel and Sydney's 6 owlets in California eaglets being fed again--hard to stop watching them Here we are in my backyard after the ice pellets and rain a mallard duck thought the water looked fine the next day after the snow Dixon checking it out looking at snow on driveways and road Truman All three cats on back of couch Finally got some good pics of Fritz Truman Fritz I went scrapbooking and we had a great time, I got a lot done and we had wonderful food looks like pizza

warm weather, St Paddy's Day and Laughfest--Oh My!!!

Even though it is raining today and gloomy-41 degrees--we have had some really nice "spring" weather this week so I could even open the slider and the cats got to sniff the air and lay in the sun.
My Mom does all kinds of stuff on the Continuing Care and this week she made this cute leprechaun---even she thought it was cute!!!


Here is the project from my online line class--"Mouse Paper Scissors" which is so much fun and I am learning all kinds of stuff about blending digital and paper..


And of course the usual cat pictures--here is Dixon in the middle of a just fluffed feather bed!!!


more Dixon between and my computer games or if Fritz is on my lap, he wants to be up there too.....






Enjoying the open slider doors to deck



Where to stretch out---at the top of the basement steps so you can see who is coming and going



I see something!!!!



On Thursday--St Patrick's Day, we had a little fun lunch which I nicknamed "Dips and desserts" due to a previous conversation we had about favorite dips and we should bring them in so everyone signed up for something and we ate Thursday and Friday we had so much---it was all wonderful....
Here Carol is cutting fruit


A few pics of the feast




Plus we had a wonderful Swiss cheese dip that was warm made by Freddie and we dipped Asiago cheese bread from Panera in it--makes my mouth water to think of it...

Let me check out the sun says Fritz--Dixon not too happy about that...

Moon in the early mornings




Can I finally say, they are all together on the couch!!!!






Saturday, Sandy and I went to see Chondra Pierce at Gilda's Club Laughfest--she was a hoot. We had seen her years ago at Praise gathering so knew we would enjoy her.
It was a nice break in middle of the day and Sandy got a little break from taking care of her Mom.
I got lots of little things done including my city of GR income taxes which were separate from the Turbo Tax ones I did before.

Truman sleeping in the sun--not as warm out so no doors open


sleeping on the couch in his favorite spot

Saturday night was the night of the "Super" full moon and here it is out my front door--amazing shot with my new camera.


This week is going to be fun with classes 2 nights on Scrap, Stick and Scribble scrapbook store and then scrapbooking next Friday and Saturday all day. Plus I only have to work 4 days this week.
