At This Very Moment

It is SNOWING again. What happened to our nice over 60 degree days! I, as you can guess by this (and any other post about the frozen water flakes) am not a fan of snow. Even less of a fan of cold. Here is a picture I just took from my porch.

This is what I did last time it snowed here.

I was under the impression that it worked, since it stopped snowing right after I had written it (two weeks ago), but nooooo. It has to snow again today!

This icicle is from the snow before that (still end of February less than a week between snows).

I like that the moon is in this shot.

I went out with the camera to get some snowflake shots after one of the mid February snows.

Somewhere I have a few better pictures of more snowflakes, but you get the idea.

By the way, it is snowing bigger flakes, and they are coming down faster now!

What Do You See?

I have been trying to get my desk cleaned off. However, I often get sidetracked by the stuff I find on here. I found my gel-pens (and I have a number of them) so I decided that I would get rid of the ones that no longer write. I ended up with a handful that had gel-ink in them still but would not write. What else could I have done but take them apart? I can’t think of anything else either. I blew all the ink onto a paper and made “art.” Then as I was writing some stuff with the working ones, one of them stopped working. Again, I had to take it apart. This time I decided to give it its own paper. Here is the result.

What do you see in the picture?

Quiz 44

This is a piece of a bigger picture. I welcome one and all to guess at what it is. In one week I’ll give the answer, and post a new one. Good luck and may the guessing begin.

Esta es una parte de la foto grande. Hay que adivinar lo que es. En una semana regreso con la respuesta y otra foto. ¡Suerte!

It Is The Doiley Mom Never Used

It is like special ordering a doiley to be used on a specific chair and then not using it.  Oh?  Well, I guess it isn’t like that at all, it is that.  This is mostly meant to see if she is reading this site.  And to show off my handiwork, that never was used for its intended purpose.

What Could They Have Been Thinking?

Yesterday I was working at the preschool again. We were in the gym* playing. There were two new little girls**, so I was trying to get them to play with the other kids and make friends. One little girl that I happen to be playing with***, Girl Z 2 yrs, was playing on the indoor slide. She was mid-ladder when Girl T****, 4 yrs, comes up and sniffs her tookus*****.

Also, on Tuesday when I was at the preschool, I went into the bathroom with only one toilet******. A woman followed me in. And only when I gave her a suspicious look did she state that all she wanted was tissue*******.

*I keep hearing of this global warming thing, and I have to say I am not a believer; as far as I can tell it keeps getting colder and colder, not to mention that we have had more snow this winter than we had in the last few

**I was on the Infant/Toddler side today

***She is not one of the new kids

****This is the same girl that when I asked her a year ago how her new baby sister is doing, told me that “she cries a lot” and “drinks milk from mommy’s breasts”

*****By “tookus” I mean butt

******This bathroom is kind of hidden away and only if you have been told by someone that it exists and is a bathroom do you know it is there; I have yet to find any indicators outside the room that it is a restroom. I started using this building in 1999, and only a month ago was told of this restroom!

*******What functional adult just walks into a bathroom after a stranger, knowing that there is only one toilet. And why on Earth could she not have waited a couple min, or gone to the other larger restroom only 20 feet away, or have said something out loud before I went in asking to sneak in for tissue?

Yummy, Yummy, Yummy

Our friends Jason and Jessie had us over for steak tonight. It was good. Aiden referred to the dinner rolls as biscuits. So, I did the best thing I could think of doing, I started talking with an English accent. She gave me funny looks, but by and by, she started to pick it up a little too. You could mostly hear it in her “okay.” We laughed. We brought over dessert. I made little white chocolate mousse tarts again, however I used peaches instead of strawberries*. We stayed and talked for a while after Aiden went to bed. It was a good time.

Aiden is allergic to berries, and I still wanted to use fruit on it. I was a bit hesitant to use peaches, but it tasted nicely.
