New Gadgets...

I am trying out a few new gadgets from Google to put up on my sidebar...for one, the Kraft Recipe finder... maybe it will be helpful once you have tried all of my recipes:-)
Also, I have a calender and clock... I always wanted one, but could never find a good combo, so we'll try that out. These are all available in a Draft kind of Blogger that they are trying out, so I thought I'd give a couple a whirl. There are over 5000 Google gadgets in one section, so it is hard to choose what to put on the sidebar. Tentatively speaking, one could have two sidebars and many more gadgets. That would mean a change to my layout, which would take some time...a premium thing these days!
For your very own google gadgets, you can choose to have them floating on your desktop with a Google Desktop. that you can download from that link. Once you have the desktop, you can add google gadgets for some fun. Any questions, give me a call...

Joyce and I went to Touchstones Museum and took in the SEED show. It had examples of all kinds of exotic seeds that are mostly used in jewellery making. The size of the seeds were quite amazing...as big as your fist, or a pod the length of your arm... all in all , worth taking in.After the show, we strolled over to the Hume Library and ordered our usual three appies and a beer, and then enjoyed the food while we chatted. I am very much loving chicken wings in Thai Sweet Chili sauce. Not too hot and yet very tasty.
We called it a night and still it was after 8 when I got home. Now I am ready for my beddy... good night all...and sweet dreams!

Tuesday morning...far cry from Sunday

Just in case anyone thought that winter was finished with...

Monday night I drove home in what looked like a raging black thunderstorm, except that it was a raging hail/snow storm. It coninued into the night and we awoke to the above scenery in the morning...

A leak in the sandbar


Fresh water clams can sometimes be found in abundance along the north shore...but this is all I came across


Here is our dock...the rest to the left is mud.

Beautiful Sunday

The lake is the lowest it has been in years, exposing the sandbar that is jsut to the west of us. Often, boats get hung up on it ,just before the water drops low enough to see it. Another good reason to take a boating course...or to navigate to the next dolphin...
Back to Sunday...The sun was shining and the day was gorgeous! Emil and I walked clear out to the furthest tip of the snadbar, taking us close to 2/3rds of the way across the lake! Last year,we hardly even saw the sandbar!



Silk was in her glory ,once we got close to the shore. She was in the water in seconds!

This is looking into the sun...giving it some far off planentary look

Note the legs on Silk...mudballs, I should say. I had to bath her and scrub her down about three times ,and even after that ,she still had mud caked into her fur on her legs. I must correct myself...clay.

Here we are...almost across the lake. Our friend's, ed and Linda are building the big ( grey) long shop ( upper left of photo) Their house is sandy coloured and tucked behind the trees., They were in the hot-tub waving, but we couldn't see them even tho we were waving at them anyhow!
This morning , I walked back out, about half way across. Not nearly as muddy because the mud was still frozen!
Enjoy another beautiful day int he neighbourhood... Yes, we got dumped on, on Monday!

Sunday Morning

Look closely and maybe you will spot two ducks (double click on the photo to make it larger)

The trees are still cloaked in snow

At least there are glimpses of blue sky this morning and sunshine...
perfect for a walk, so that is where we are headed as soon as I drink my coffee.

The Brain Test - Tickle Personality Tests
Take the brain test to see if you are right or left brained. I am a left brained person, it says...so I am supposed to be good at math... now that is funny:>)
