Leaves and Shadows

I've been waiting for the perfect picture and I got my opportunity! 5 minutes after I snapped these shots, the sun was GONE...no more shadows, no more sparkles!



Yesterday's mystery photo object is asparagus!

Squirrels...or Monkeys?

Introducing Tom...Peeping Tom

Yes, the picture is oriented correctly. He's at the top of the wall, trying to figure out which direction to go next.
This is a different squirrel...headed up, or down.

New Work Critters

There were two of them (and I think these pictures show the two but I never could manage to get a pic with both of them at the same time).

Go Ryan Bedford!


Watch Ryan Bedford skate today for the US in the 10,000 meter speedskating event. This photo was shot in my hometown in January, when he came back for a visit with his first speed skating club. GO RYAN!!!

My kids *L-O-V-E* it when I make these pancakes...or better yet, waffles...so here's the recipe.

3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup white flour
1/2 cup cornmeal
1/3 cup quick oats
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 Tbs Ener-G egg replacer
3 Tbs maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 cups buttermilk

That's it...and you know how to mix and then make pancakes, so I won't bore you with all of that ;-) Stay tuned next month for maple syrup time!

Ironing

So, today the girl tween found "new" clothes in her closet. (See, sitting in there doing schoolwork proved useful after all ;-) It's hand-me-downs that now fit. So, in a fit of industriousness, she cleaned older clothing out of her drawers and is ironing items that were not fit to be seen in. Yes, the child is doing all of this work. So I should turn into new clothing and beckon her to do chores, and she would run willingly to do them, right?

Nutty Child


I'm not sure whether to say this child is mine, or not...but she is on the shelf in her closet, studying. A stepladder is required to get up there. Oy!

Snowy Sign

My ds liked this sign when we were out shopping. I need his eyes...I didn't even notice it until he pointed it out to me. OK, in my defense, we were parked behind a truck and he'd noticed it while I was watching traffic & driving.

Mathematical Squirrel



Notice that this little guy chews his bread from being bread-shaped to a triangle. Quite the smart little critter, don't you think? Note his little friend munching away in the background.
