Alphabet Wednesday – The Letter ‘N’

For Alphabet Wednesday I will start the letter ‘N’ off with a photo of a bird’s Nest, though oddly placed, I think it is lovely in design.

Next a lovely collection of Noses.

True Colors Thursday - Lime

True Colors Thursday brings us to the color Lime!

Baby looks good in his Lime bib while playing with his Lime toys.

A shiny bow!

A funny greeting card….

The color of new spring growth.

ABC Wednesday - ‘M’

Kicking off ABC Wednesday - ‘M’ is Minnesota, my home state.

The photo below is of the Twin Cities: Minneapolis/St. Paul.

The Mississippi River flows through Minnesota, look at the photo below and this is the Mighty Mississippi River at a not so ‘Mighty’ spot.

But then Minnesota has a lot of waterfalls – the following one is Minnehaha Falls.

And the next one is Minneopa Falls which is actually a double waterfall.

The photos that follow are photos taken while driving from Minnesota to Florida.

The Mountains of Tennessee (please pardon the reflection of the windshield)

Coming back down through the Mountains they feel it necessary to provide Runaway Truck Ramps

For some reason I found this Motorcyclist’s Jacket fascinating. It declared him an ‘Iron Pig’.

We also saw a Mega-Cross.

And then of course I’d also like to celebrate Monty who is one of my kitties, turning 20 years old this Month!

True Colors Thursday – Black and White!

This True Colors Thursday we are in Black and White. I offer up this photo which is 34 years old as a beginning.

ABC Wednesday - ‘L’

For this ABC Wednesday Let me get the most important three ‘L’s in right off the top and those would be special people in my life Larry, Lucy and Lyle.

This being Larry.

This being Lucy.

This being Lyle.

All people I Love.

The item being aimed at you is a Launcher, which Lyle is also holding and for some reason keeps finding its way into our 4th of July Lunch and celebration each year. It shoots Nerf rockets …usually at unsuspecting people in our party.

One of my favorite ‘L’s occurs during what I consider the best season of the year.

And that is……

Leaves changing color in the Fall.

Both photos above were taken at Savannah Portage in Minnesota.

Leaves on a hike at Nerstrand Big Woods in Minnesota.

One last ‘L’ I would Like to Let you Look at are more Lilies in my garden (the bright orange instead of the scarlet ones this time.)

Another Gluten Free Celebration Post!

I just can’t help celebrating each time something new comes my way in the gluten free shopping place!

And Simply Great when a company takes a mainstream item and makes an issue out of being Gluten Free. So hoping this trend continues to catch on making like easier for those of us who must adhere to the Gluten Free diet in order to stay well. This particular cereal should be just about everywhere in the U.S. by June 2009.

Thank you General Mills!

April? Is That You?

Dear Mother Nature,

What have you done with Spring?

Ushering In Spring – New Look!

Spent a little bit of time today making some changes to my Blog Site. A revitalization! Hope you enjoy it!

Scarlet For True Colors Thursday

I will dedicate Scarlet Thursday to a cardinal we have named Hank. This beautiful Scarlet creature flew into my deck door windows and sat stunned in the snow by the steps. It was a harsh minus 30 wind chill and  I feared he would not survive. I kept vigil over him and finally held him in my gloved hands next to me keep him warm until he suddenly flew from my hands into a near by bush. I continued watching over him, keeping predators away, until he flitted off high up into the trees. We like to think Hank still comes back to visit us whenever we see a cardinal at the pond or feeder.

 

Another beautiful Scarlet I see only in the spring  and early summer are the Day Lilies in our garden.

 

However, nothing radiates  serenity like a beautiful Scarlet sunrise.

ABC Wednesday: The Letter ‘K’

This ABC Wednesday brings us to the letter ‘K’ which makes me think of Kitties, Kiddies, Kites and Kitchen. First are my two nearly twenty year old Kitties. 

This is Vinni my Siamese Kitty, sleeping with one of my Greyhounds, Tyler. Unfortunately Tyler is no longer with us but Vinni keeps on snuggling up with what every Greyhound has space available.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 The Grey Tabby Dilute shown below is my Kitty Monti. Named after Monty Python’s Flying Circus as we are Monty Python fans.  I believe he is just done taunting Grand Greyhound Ruby who so Kindly puts up with his antics.

And of course there are Kiddies, of which mine are grown, but still fly Kites. I will put them all together in the next photos where my Kitty is watching my Kiddies (and OH) fly mini-Kites in the back yard just after the snow has melted and warmer temperatures begin luring everyone outside.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 And last, but not least, representing the letter ‘K’ this week would be my Kitchen. It is due for a new paint job but I probably won’t get around to it for a while yet.

So there you go, though I Know if I’d thought it out better I probably could have come up with better things. These are few things that are Kind of a big part of my life.
