Coffee Maker

The inaugral cup made with a new coffee maker which arrived today. Thanks, Lem!

Flowers

These lovely flowers arrived today from the UK. Thanks, Matt! :)

Blue's New Pillow

I seem to have turned into one of those women, of a certain age, who develop an unhealthy obsession about their pets.

Bad Weather

Not only bad weather but also bad driving. I should not have been trying to take picture so close to a four-way stop.

Snow and Fir Tree

It snowed lightly all day. Most of it melted as it hit the ground.

Hoarfrost

It cooled down overnight, so there was a frost on the trees along the river.

Blue

Wood Store

It snowed yesterday morning. For a moment it looked like winter was back, but it melted in the afternoon sun.

Asleep

Blue likes to contort herself into strange positions when she sleeps. I'm told this is not unusual with greyhounds.

Mom's Birthday

These lovely flowers came from our family in Florida.

Blue

Blue came over to see what I was doing, which resulted in this extreme closeup.

Car Wash: The Odyssey

A few days ago, I resurrected the Honda. Since it was filthy, I headed to the car wash.


Along with half a dozen other people . . . To pass the time, I decided to take some pictures.


Of the steering wheel . . .


My heart-shaped key chain.


The car in front.


The filthy rear window


Me, trying to look patient.


After 40 minutes, I was at the keypad.


But I still had to wait. And wait. And wait.


But finally, it was my turn.


This is my favourite part.


I love to watch the water hit the car.


It feels like I'm trapped in a deluge.


All too soon, it was over.

The End

Patio Stone

When I woke up this morning to let the dogs out, the moisture on the patio had crystallised overnight.

Signs of Spring

Ice and flooding are two sure signs of spring in Saskatchewan. For those of you who have moved to warmer climes, see what you're missing?!

Dirt Mountain

Spring in Saskatoon is not always a pretty thing. I spotted this garbage bag flying from a snow hill in a local mall.

Valentine's Day

Friends sent flowers. Very thoughtful.

Dutch Elms

Against the white sky, the elm tree branches look like spiderwebs. So, so cold today.

Vantasy

Haven't seen one of these in years. It's in amazing condition. I wonder if it's been pimped inside.

Pest Hill

Snow Bath

In spite of the cold, Darby loves to roll around in the snow. It's hard to catch him in the act though.

24 Yellow Roses

Greenery

This time of year, the only greenery one's likely to find is indoors.

February

Winter isn't going anywhere in a hurry, in spite of what the groundhog may predict.

Brrr . . .
