Manic Monday - Shadow

This is the shadow of a wind chime on my front porch.  I love the tones in this chime.  It's made of porcelain and the sounds that it emits are beautiful on a breezy day like today.  It's in the low 70s today and absolutely gorgeous outside.  It should be against the law to have to do any sort of work on a day like this.  Whether you're selling wireless security systems, or working at a gas station, on a day like it is in central Arkansas today, we should all be allowed to stay home or at least work outside under a big 'ole shade tree!!  What are you up to on this fine Monday?

Camera Critters

This little guy right here managed to get himself INSIDE my laundry room. I had gone out to put a load of laundry in the dryer. The door was open, so I closed it. I heard some rumbling out there later on, so I opened the door to the laundry room and screamed. He just stood there frozen. I ran to get my camera and then shot his picture. I went outside the house to go around and open up the door from the outside to let him out. I don't know which one of us was more afraid of the other. He went out soon after the door was opened. I had been wondering what happened to the cat food. We were keeping an automatic feeder out back for some stray kittens that had come up. I had to quit using it because the food would disappear faster than I knew those kittens were eating it. Do you think that I found my culprit!?!? For those of you who do not know this is an opossum.

Photo Meme

Tammy from Mom Knows Everything tagged me for this photo meme. I've not done this one yet, so I thought I'd oblige.

***Rules***
1. Go to your Picture Folder on your computer or wherever you store your pictures.
2. Go to the 6th Folder and then pick the 6th Picture.
3. Post it on your bloggy and tell the story that goes with the picture.
4. Tag 5 other glorious peoples to do the same thing and leave a comment on their bloggy tellin’ them ’bout it.

How funny is it that the sixth folder on my lap top is from last Valentine's Day! I didn't have six pictures in the folder, only four so I chose to post the last one in that folder. It is the bags containing the gifts that I gave the kids and hubby last year. I choose to tag five of my favorite photographers: Sanni, Roger, Linda, Mary, & Lisa. I can't wait to see what you guys come up with.

The Weekend in a Nutshell

Friday afternoon hubby and I planned an impromptu camping trip with the kiddos. He has a deer camp in Cave City. It's a beautiful place and there's lots of woods to ride around in on the four wheeler. Our camper is still there, so we decided to just go home from the office, pack up a few things and spend the night. My wonderful MIL graciously agreed to keep Emily for us so that we could enjoy some time with the older two. Oscar (the wiener dog) tagged along as well. The weather was supposed to be warm this weekend so we thought it'd be the perfect opportunity to head out. What we didn't realize was that the ice storm that hit the state two weeks ago had crippled this city.

We built a fire when we got there and the kids had fun roasting some hot dogs and marshmallows. Brien got some strawberry marshmallows. I did not know they made such. They were really yummy! Shelby and Oscar slept in the back of the camper in the bottom bunk while Tyler curled up in between Brien and myself in the itty-bitty full sized bed. Before the night was over, I ended up on the couch bed. Even the King sized bed at home isn't big enough for the three of us because this child likes to sleep sideways!

Brien woke up bright and early in the tradition of being at "deer camp" I suppose. He got dressed and went to look around. He came back and reported that he had seen nothing. By this time Tyler had woke up and was very disappointed that his daddy had went hunting without him. We couldn't make him understand that it was not hunting season and he could not hunt anything. When he got dressed we went out exploring. I took my weapon of choice, my Cannon Rebel. I had fun shooting all kinds of things. I didn't kill anything, though. I did get some great photos for Looking at the Sky on Friday for the next few weeks. I also got some shots of Oscar barking at cows, like the one below in the Camera Critters meme.

Brien made us some breakfast and we headed out on the four wheeler exploring. As I mentioned before there was a bad ice storm a couple of weeks ago and there were lots of trees down making our explorations a bit difficult. We managed, though and we all had a great time getting out in the woods. The temperatures were in the high 60s and there was still ice in the woods, so that tells you how thick that the ice must have been at one point in time.

We had a lovely time and it was nice to get away even if it was only for 24 hours. Here are a few more photos I took while we were there, if you're so inclined. I've put them in a scroll box to take up less room. To see more photos, you can click over to my Flickr account here.

Camera Critters

Oscar, our wiener dog participated in Secret Paws this year. Mini was his secret pal. He loves his stuffed skunk. Unfortunately it is no longer "stuffed". He loves to de-stuff the animals. It is just a shell of it's former self. Ba-dum! Hold your applause 'till the end, please. Anyhow, many thanks to Mini. I think that Oscar might have a tiny crush now...no not Mini, the skunk! I snapped this photo after he played himself out. As you can see, he's all cuddled with his new pal.

I just realized that today was Friday!!! What a crazy week. Sorry I'm late posting this. I'm so far behind on blogging that I don't think I'll ever get caught up. Many apologies to my friends! I hope that everyone had a very merry Christmas.
Wanna see more sky photos?
