Christmas Countdown - 2008

mammaduke · Mar 5, 2008

Happy hump day everyone. Snowing & windy here . Got that storm yesterday with the sleet , ice & snow but not as bad as they thought we'd get it.
Every time I look at those pictures of the chicks it makes me think that spring will be here really soon.
Have a great day everyone.

Just to brighten up everyone's Wednesday, a picture of the Bluebell Woods I took last spring which, as everybody knows, is just round the corner (spring that is, not the Bluebell Woods!)

Also one of the Terrible Twosome, just for Cedar!! Jacob is the Border Terrier and Cracker is the Cairn

Thank you Maureen for the beautiful picture showing us how beautiful Spring is & what we have to forward to . Gives us a ray of hope with all this nasty weather we have been having lately.

You know, my father in law still eats twinkies!!! I had one a few weeks ago...I don't believe that there are any natural ingredients left in twinkies...sort of like plastic food...I imagine that if they were fired it'd be quite the hazard!!!

Good Morning right back at you.
Rise and shine and look!
We are down to single digits to the 1/3 Season marker!

Days to the Season: 252
Days to Christmas Day 294
That's right, a mere 9 days until we move into the 2nd third of our Season count. My, oh My!

It was 40 when I left for the office this morning with the promise of sunny skies and a high of 65. Marvelous walking weather for this time of the year!
Yesterday, while I was using my California car duster on the old steed, I was serenaded from a nearby tree by the first cardinal of the year. A red and black male with beautiful markings!
Love the cheerie call of the Eastern Cardinal. That and the calls of the Red-winged Blackbird and the Whippoorwill are my favorites.

Have a Thrilling Thursday, fellow Christmas travelers!
We are but a hop away from the weekend.

(Speaking of hops, our annual giant Easter Bunny is back at Crabtree mall. I just CAN'T get into a huge rabbit on Santa's throne. Somehow, it's just not the same!)
