Truth in advertising??

Doesn't exactly tempt the tastebuds, does it? And they wonder why they don't have much business!!

Love, Man-Style

What is it with men and remotes?? I mean, aren't they supposed to leave their Woobies behind when they grow up? R has always been a remote-hog, but since he's been home from the hospital, I swear that thing never leaves his hand. Actually, I'm surprised that it hasn't started growing to his hand! My favorite part is when he is sound asleep, completely and totally zoned out, and doesn't even hear me talking to him. I gently reach over and slide the remote out of his relaxed grip. WRONG! The hand spasmodically clenches shut, and he shouts (honest!) "I'm watching that! I'm watching that!" Needless to say, he doesn't even know what "that" IS--just don't take away the remote. Anyone else out there have the same problem??

Love, Mother Nature

Saw this wonderful openings in the clouds the other day, and had to grab it quick before the swiftly shifting clouds closed in. Couldn't believe the little love note that Mother Nature sent!!

Signs of Spring

One of the first signs of spring around here. :-) I am always excited when the pussywillows show up, because that means spring is just around the corner.
And, since imitation is the most sincere form of flattery (are you sure about that??), I tried the sepia/spatter action in PSE7 that Becky used the other night on her tulip shot.

Thank you to those of you who have asked about R. He is home and we are working on getting him better and stronger. We had to go back to the hospital last week for a couple of days for a transfusion and "tune-up", and another transfusion today, but he is slowly but surely getting stronger and better. He is eating regular food and all the repaired GI system is working properly, so once we get the "start-up" bugs ironed out things will look a lot better. He will be on a highly restrictive diet for the rest of his life, but he HAS the rest of his life!!! :-)

For the Birds...

A few more bird houses. Having a hard time getting out anywhere lately...great weather, but I am still pretty busy/housebound with R.

Bad pun, I know, but couldn't resist. I collect bird houses, and even though most of them haven't been occupied, they are still sweet homes!!
I love this one. I got it at a gallery back in Petosky, Michigan many years ago; all the rocks are from the local beach. So--birdhouse, beach rocks (another fave), and Michigan, all combined into one funky little stone cottage.

Home "Sweet" Home

This cookie jar is just a couple of years younger than me--yep, an antique! My mom always had it filled with cookies, so when I read this week's theme, this is the first thing that came to mind.
