Marcy Does It Again!

I am the one with the new camera,

and Marcy gets the shots!

Can you see it?

It's not fair, I tell you, it's just not fair!

A Day In Heaven

It rained just enough this morning to take the rest of the snow with it.  I do not know the temperature but the day was beautiful.  Coats were not needed.  My oldest daughter and I headed to the creek to look for relics and pretty rocks.

Yoda followed every step.  I believe I shall call him a farm dog now.  He learned how to jump from rock to rock through the creek.  Yoda did not panic when I was out of sight, he did not cry when the creek was between us.  Yoda actually looked for a way across and did very well.

We followed the creek and enjoyed the morning.  Melissa found a perfect arrowhead in a wonderful color we had never found before.  As usual, we returned with a pocketful.  I think we both can say we have never seen an ugly rock.

We enjoyed the walk, the water, the weather and the fun of the search.  It could not have been a better day.

A beautiful day, a gift from heaven!

We had both daughters and all grandsons here today.  I have gobs of pictures so you will tire of my Sunday before I tire of telling about it.

WARNING:  More to come!

My Camera Is Here!

Some kind of winter berry bush at work.

with a nest tucked away,

and rain drops dripping from the berries.

Not bad for my first try!  Just had to rip my package open, charge my battery and search for a subject on lunch break.

I looked at lots of cameras, but because of my lack of knowledge, I went with an easy one.  I can play and let the camera do the work.  When I get braver, I can try my own settings. 

I chose a Canon Power Shot SX200 IS, 12.1 Megapixels, with lots of zoom.  I purchased from QVC because I can try it for thirty days and no matter the reason, I can send it back.  Just these few pictures are all I've taken but if the weather is good...Look Out!

Mittens, Mittens, Who's Got The Mittens?

I do, I do!!!!

Rudeek, A Knitting Nurse made these beautiful mittens and modeled them for us before her giveaway!  I won!  Lucky, lucky me. 

Trying to model like Rudee.

Warning!

Wrinkles ahead!

Multiple chins!

No Makeup!

Serving a duel purpose here, showing my horns where I hit the door.

One pupil seems to be wrong, maybe I should have seen a doc.

These are so warm and soft.

Scary!  Not the mittens, the model.

Now I need a hat!

It is like these were make just for me.

The light thread is the exact color of my new coat.

These spots do not look as bad as I made them sound but I had to take a pill to stop my headache tonight.  My right eye feels a little heavy but I can see fine.

Andrew had fun taking these pictures. 

Oh, I forgot, got a new pair of scissors for Christmas and whacked off my hair again.  My sister later told me they were utility scissors and I said they cut hair great.

I may never show my face again but my hands will never be cold...Thank you, Rudee.
