walk on the wild side

We try to walk the cats every day.

We have to go out before the kids get home from school and scream across the lake on their snowmobiles, since it frightens the cats. The snow is over the cat's heads on the path we have tromped out. It is so funny.

The birds watch us from the trees and wait until they can get back to their feeders.

photostory Friday

I found a terrific group who publish Photostory Fridays. Being a linguistic as well as digital fanatic, it is the perfect opportunity to play.

It has warmed up some, but we anticipate -27 C. temperatures tonight. I was happy to stroll outdoors the other day. Here are my photos.

I love the trend towards planting ornamental grasses. They look so beautiful in all seasons. I did have to prop some of them up, but they are a poignant reminder of summertime.



This little chickadee appreciates my black sunflower seeds on a cloudy, damp day. Oliver, my black cat, and I went for a walk and he showed me where he likes to sit - directly under the bird feeder.








My 'Hand of God' has a cushion of snow.






The bulrushes look beautiful with a touch of snow as a hat.
