12 Feb., 2012 -- Red, white & blue

A friend gave me these

these really heavy duty bottles!
Mine!
Smudge claimed his favorite place on Lloyd's shoulder today.
Weather's going to dump on us tomorrow, so we transferred some fuel.

12 Feb., 2012 -- What's it, where's it?

I know this isn't fair to non-locals, but take a stab at it anyway.

Spring! Crocuses are blooming!
My mountain lions
following me on our daily jaunt through the woods and pastures.

1 Feb., 2012 -- Spring? Is it spring?

It's only February, but it feels like spring. Will it last...

30 Jan., 2012 -- I'm going jogging

I'm going jogging!



Well, it still looks the same as last week. I'm gonna go take a nap.

28 Jan., 2012 -- Happy 16th Birthday, Samantha

I'm driving! I'm driving!

This is our room at Cox Orthopedic Center, third set of windows on the right. It's like a hotel, with meals ordered from the menu. But: automatic wake-up calls beginning at 3 a.m., 5 a.m., three daily sessions at the gym, free stuff (rubber gloves, hand sanitizer, tv, panoramic vista of the parking lot).
As much as we like it here, we'll be home tomorrow afternoon. Another small step...
