Back to hobbies ... and Life

Finally got a decent photo of our black pug. He's a beut! He has to think about things alot before dealing with them. He has to sniff and sniff and sniff on a spot and think about what it all means. While the boston terrier would just take a quick sniff and head out looking for things to eat or things to chase. The collar he wears has lots of spikes on it ... just to keep Sheba from chewing on it or using it to pull him around.

Icy Proposition

That is ICE on top the water in this bucket!
That may not be surprising or interesting to people in Certain parts of the country like Country Doctors Wife or like The Pioneer Woman who are already freezing their tails off in snow and ice ... but this is unusual down south on the Gulf Coast. Next to it is the un-dead Christmas tree ... still in its original pot from over a year ago ... tossed back outside to survive on its own.

They are talking about a "hard-freeze" warning tonight ... wind chill of 19 at the moment. Brrrrrr! The Milkmans Wife is living with -34 degrees today. I don't think I'll go outside before Noon.

UPDATE: Even in direct sunlight in the middle of the day ...
that ice never melted. Uh-oh.

Should I mention that it has been sunny, clear, beautiful and in the 80's all week at my house ? There is a reason I live in California !!
