Just experimenting with my Kindle Fire 7.The pictures were taken with it and uploaded to my blog.In picture 1 and 3 I used a filter.

We woke up with a bright sunny morning today but it is still cold.She was supposed to have her last basketball game today but it was cancelled due to the poor road conditions.On Thursday night and Friday morning we had the worst winter blizzard for this season.The snow was not the problem but the ice and the strong winds piling high snowdrifts on the roads.It was a dangerous drive home after work yesterday afternoon.Up on the hill our part of the road was covered with  snowdrifts as tall as 3-4 feet and in order to avoid them we had to drive in the opposite lane.The gusts of the wind were creating whiteouts and it was impossible to see if there were cars coming towards us.I almost got a heart attack although my husband was driving and he is a good driver.I have never seen such a thing before!!!
Apparently we will stay home this weekend and enjoy a slow and lazy time.

Thank God it is weekend again

A lazy weekend in front of us. I need to slow down a little bit. To take a deep breath. To relax.To listen to the bird songs and enjoy the sunshine. These are pictures from another weekend. Rainy and slow. Thank god the weather cast is good for this weekend. Warm and sunny!!!

*****

It is still cold outside.The sunshine would show up for a short while and hide behind heavy clouds.The wind is nasty and kills any the desire for a walk outside.I do not know if it is just me but this winter seems to be very long.I can't wait for the spring to come and to go out with my new camera.So far I try to enjoy it taking pictures in the house.So here we go:
1.a corner in my house 2.my family's favourite soup,noodles and meatballs 3.Ashley 4.a ray of sunshine 5.a rare moment-our two cats sleeping by each other,most of the time they fight

Update

I wish I could update my blog more often but life has been in the way so much lately.Upper respiratory infections(the kid),a shoulder injury(me),visits to the doctor and the pharmacy,dealing with pain and misery.But now,thank God, everything is back to normal.We are in good health and go on with our lives.We are capable to enjoy the fun part of it.Basketball games and sleepovers(the kid),hanging on the computer,reading my favourite blogs and taking pictures with my new camera(me).I loooove my new camera!!!!So,there are three random pictures from December,last year.1.A sunset shot through the car window.2.A dream came true:somebody got her ears pierced.3.My cutie pie, Precious.

Giving thanks

I enjoy my little Thanksgiving vacation very much.How about you?For me it is time to slow dawn and spend precious time with my family.I think it is a special Holiday because it makes us think about the most important things in our lives.What am I grateful for in my life?I am grateful for the health and well being of my family and my own,as well;for their love and happiness; for the sunshine and the extraordinary warm fall this year,for my friends;for the farm folks who work hard in the fields so we can put food on our Thanksgiving table;for the people who helped us to stand on our feet after the flood 5 years ago,for our pets who bring so much joy in our lives...I can go on with the list but let me stop here and say: God bless all the good people/and animals/that bring so much light in our lives!

Just playing with old pictures

A random picture

I took this picture about a month ago.I was drying a bunch of one dollar bills which I had accidentally washed with my husband's
jeans when she decided that that was the
best place to sit and relax.It looked so funny
so I could not help it and took a picture of her to share with you.

Watecolor pencils on paper. Our cat Precious.

No title

I am in the season of the migraines so no much energy for art or anything.Just for passive pleasures like reading blogs.

And this is our cutie Precious.

This is not a skunk

This is not a skunk. It is our cute little kitty Precious.This is her favourite pose and her favourite thing is to be cuddled and pat.She is about two years old.
Ashley is our older cat.She is 8.She is shy and does not feel comfortable to be touched very much.Her favourite time spending is on top of our dining room table.Her main concern if there is enough food in her dish and she checks on it every 15 minutes.
We adopted both cats from the animal shelter after our old cat Murphy died of old age about two years ago.
