Aren't they just picture perfect?

Andy doesn't think so, though he tolerates them quite well.



Managed to get these current photos, they look cute and cuddly, but they're still wild.

Cat Update for Furry Friends Friday

Yes, this is Daphne. A few days ago, she knocked the fan and its supports out of the window, tore and knocked out the screen, and escaped taking two of the kittens with her. She still comes back daily to peek in the window at the last two, which are growing strong and healthy. I try to get pictures of them, but the minute they see the camera they hide. Camera shy, I guess. They are both males, I know not because I picked them up, but they were playing on the floor next to me and I got a good glimpse. They still won't let me touch them, which has me concerned. I'm trying again today, and hope I make progress soon before they're too old for anyone to want.

Thanks!

Thank-you to everyone for your help on creating the mosaics! As you can see, I did it! Now I'm having too much fun with it, and have already changed my header twice! I think I'm satisfied, so will leave it alone.....for now!

Permanent Bend Over

Yeah, remember these gems that were popular in practically every garden you saw? Well, I have one in mine. It's called Me. I would love to get rid of it, but unfortunately it's attached. Making sure I stand up whenever a car is going by, even though it's good exercise, is a pain. My knees don't bend as they used to, so this is standard pose when weeding the flowers. I saw a lady the other day, in this popular pose, weeding around a stop sign. I almost laughed out loud, she didn't feel the least bit embarrassed at this busy intersection showing her where withalls to every driver that had to stop, as you couldn't help but get an eye full. I on the other hand, don't like to do that. The thought of eyes burning a hole in my butt doesn't appeal to me. So, as long as there are weeds to pull, I'll be up and down, up and down, up and........ hmmmm wonder if it will make my waist any smaller or get me a nice set of those six pack abs.

Sweet Preston Sleep


Sweet Preston, Sleep,
as sunbeams dance above,
surrounding you with golden rays,
and wrapping you in love.
Sweet Preston, Sleep,
you've so much life to live
with future dreams to realize
and so much love to give.
Sweet Preston, Sleep,
In slumber as you rest,
we gaze upon your sweet tiny face
'tis we who are truly blessed.
Love, Mimi

God Bless You Our Little Miracle

Mosaics...How do you do that!?!?!?!? And Yard Sale Find!

I really want to do some picture mosaics, especially for my header picture. I don't have a clue how you are doing this! Also, your blog names are so pretty, not just in the standard placement, and all I know is how to do the standard way using the blogspot settings. Can anyone enlighten me here? My blog is outdated! Would love to learn!
Then, I found this print from the early 1800's at our friends yard sale. I Love prints of children looking at birds, and fell in love with this one. As you can see, it was quite worse for wear, but I didn't care I knew Ken could work his magic.
And he did! The holes are gone, the picture lightened, and now I have a wonderful addition to my pictures, will be beautiful on one of my crazy quilt pillows! If you would like to save this picture, go ahead! I don't blame you!
