Happy Spring on Saturday


This plump robin turned its head just as I snapped the pic, then it flew away... She looks as if she is ready to pop any day now! Spring is in the air!

A serene view up the lake on my early morning walk

Guess who in her new baby jacket! Isn't she special? Don't laugh, she liked it! A woman in Wal -Mart was buying up five or six different hoodies and t shirts ...yep, you guessed it...for her dog! At two bucks each, its a win win situation. She said she modifies them by cutting off the hoods or shortening the sleeves! I thought it was such a good idea that I bought one for Miss Silky...cute eh... yes, I know, she will be sweating like a porkey pig , however it is a pretty good idea to keep the snow out of her leg fur! Oh yes...what snow????

I was looking for the two trumpeter swans that were swimming upstream yesterday, but all that was left were the old reliables...Canada Geese!
Have a great week-end everyone. We will be painting the basement...care to join us?

Stumbleupon

This is quite the interesting site called Stumbleupon. You join up with a simple password and it will ask if you want to run a couple of things... I know, kind of taboo, but I did it anyhow just because I have anti everything installed on this computer... and then here you are at the Stumbleupon website. First you tick off areas of interest...say art or gardening, unitl you have selected all that interests you. Then it puts a Stumbleupon button on Internet explorer and when you click on it, the web page will go to one of the Stumble upon sites.

You can choose to like it, dislike it, or share it. So I checked off photography and when I selected to stumble upon photography, it brought up a wonderful gallery of images taken of wild animals in Africa... amazing photos. Next I tried Games, and went throught several that were either cute or too hard for me. Then I tried Art and it took me to a Jackson Pollock painting site, where you could draw like Jackson Pollock. Another site had me drawing snowflakes that could revolve in 3-D. So it lets you stumble from one web page to the next and you get to choose which area is of interest to you. Also, you may suggest websites. In five minutes and ten websites, it made me realize how tunnel-visioned I have become, by going to the same websites over and over. This can offer up all sorts of new and exciting websites and you don't even have to get your brain out of the cobwebs to find something pretty amazing to look at. I like it!

Go to http://www.stumbleupon.com/and sign up today.

Have a Happy St. PAddie's day tomorrow!
