So last week I said I was going
to have to take more pictures myself this week. Did I remember saying that? No.
Did I take more pictures? No. Thank goodness I’ve got Dr. M to pick up the
slack. This week was about the frozen tundra, whimsy, and a harbinger of spring
(or maybe a geranium who’s in denial).
Oh, & just so everyone knows, in the
picture
with my new socks, NCMountainWoman
noticed an “L” & asked if that meant “left.” Yes, yes, it does – there’s an
“R” on the other sock. And yes, your eyes do not deceive you – I had them on
the wrong feet because I wasn’t paying any attention. For heaven’s sake.

I
always feel like pictures of cardinals should come with captions. What would
this one say?
No
drinking or bathing today!
On
the other hand, inside it was hot flash city while I was doing my daily
Gazelle. Had to go put my feet in the snow to cool them off (& somewhere my
mother is saying, “See? That feels wonderful doesn’t it?”)
Monday,
January 12th
Dr. M saw a dog who was
apparently out running some errands.
I cut my finger (teensy little
bleeder) & rather than go get a perfectly serviceable Band-Aid I decided to
use a paper towel & some of my penguin duct tape. Very McGyver, don’t you
think?

Campus deer.

Campus snow.
I often look rather
Pebbles-esque when I’m working out these days.

My cousin’s daughter made this for
Dr. M – we love it!
And a friend of mine had been meaning
to give me this pillow since August. Penguin!

The aforementioned frozen
tundra.

Dr. M
received copies of a new article he’s had published in the Kentucky Historical
Society Register: ““A Blood Stained Sin”: Slavery, Freedom, and Guerrilla
Warfare in the Bluegrass Region of Kentucky, 1863-65.”
I had to
go over to the church to turn off one of our heat pumps (it keeps running
continuously no matter the temperature). My status from Facebook: I am
heat pump, furnace, & air conditioner illiterate (determinedly so), but
when told to move the switch from on to off? That I can manage #incompetentchurchwardenproblems
Ms. Pinky decided that January
was a fine time to produce her last blooms. At least I think these will be the
last until spring. I know for sure that they made us smile!
Hope everyone has a great week!
Well, won't you just look at Ms. Pinky go! What a gal. Love your MacGyver bandage. MacGyver was my son's favorite show when he was in high school.
ReplyDeleteOur red geranium is managing to put out a new bloom too!
ReplyDeleteMy geranium evidently didn't get the memo, and has no winter blossoms for me to admire.
ReplyDelete"Was there a memo?" says my nameless geranium.
ReplyDelete"You again?" caption for cardinal pic.
Love the frozen tundra pics!
Somehow, even in our slacking photography, you and I manage to find/fetch/borrow/steal enough for our blog ;-)
SWMBO was surprised to see a blossom on her Christmas cactus. About the second week in January.
