all in a row
going with the flow—
ducks in the snow
Even the ducks know that to get ahead you gotta obey the traffic signs. 😉
1926. yikes!
yikes!
it!s not a pretty picture!
it’s the big one!
This is not a pretty picture! They really mean business when they bring out the big one—the BIG SNOWFLAKE! ❄️
First thing I do every morning after getting out of bed, putting on my sweats, peeing, brushing my teeth, lighting candles, feeding Mikey, turning on the heat and humidifier, making my coffee, sitting down to read. . .first thing I do is pick up my phone and look at the morning temperature and weather predictions for the week ahead. Today they brought out the BIG SNOWFLAKE predicting snowfall of 11-13” on Sunday, 5-6” on Monday, maybe more Tuesday. Yikes!😱 😘
1925. the dog in me
look at all the snow—
wish i could eat all the snowflakes
and bark like a dog!🐶
That dog was barking like there’s just no tomorrow. Couldn't help but wonder what was he saying? What was he thinking? So here's my story. I just love looking out at snow, walking in snow, rolling in snow, eating snow. Makes me bark out loud! 🐶
1924. i spy!
in the studio
brushes, frames, puzzle, and mikey
hiding out
Deep in the rafters, Mikey hiding out. Some cats hate vacuum cleaners. For Mikey it’s the microwave!🙀 She runs far away from the microwave and hides out til the coast is clear.
(Lately I’ve been scrambling for pictures to post. This one’s a gift from Dan. Thanks, honey!)
1923. neon at night
neon! neon! neon!
on the left. . .on the right—
the middle, too
I was aiming for neon on the left, Dan’s eye was on the right. Hey! What’s that: neon on his jacket? Where’d that come from? Here’s Dan’s cool photo: 
1922. Sweetbriar Cafe
freezing cold outside
spooning ice cream inside
yum!😋
Outside it was 21° with a windy chill of 12°. Four women meet at Sweetbriar Cafe once a month, every month, rain or shine, hot or cold, for lunch and ice cream. Oh, joy!
1921. naked
out in the open—
thirteen naked bush birds!
sunbathing
On a bright sunny day in the parking lot behind the pizza parlor, the birds drop their cover and step out for some Ds.😘
1920. i’m here!
the speaker speaks
all heads turn to the speaker
“hey, i’m here. . .”
At the artist’s talk. The audience filled every seat. All cell phones were silenced. The speaker began to speak as all heads turned ahead. Then my phone screen lit up—“Hey, I’m here up in the balcony.” And there she was!
Thanks, Rachel, for my next blog post.😘
1919. offering incense
quiet moment
sunday morning in the grotto
lighting incense
Throughout time, the practice of burning incense has been used as an offering across cultures in Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity, and Taoism to carry prayers to higher realms connecting the earthly and spiritual realms, to help a create a tranquil mind, to cleanse negative energies, to symbolize the transient nature of life.
1918. hope
by the grotto
broken urn, scattered stones..,
a tiny blossom
At the foot of the grotto of the Blessed Mother, a tiny blossom dares to bloom. Hope blooms eternal. Hope plus action makes things happen. Hold onto your hope.
1917. eagles and panda bears
preoccupied
eagles football today. . .go green!
lookin’ for the pandas
Early morning walk—“Hey,” he said, “look at that patch of green,” She saw the big patch of bamboo and took a shot. Later on, preoccupied with football playoff games and rooting for the “hometown green” Philadelphia Eagles, she finally remembers to post and manages to tie things together in a haiku.😉
1916. mikey snoozing
ho! ho! hay!
saturday is caturday
hooray!
1915. cup of tea?
on top of the roof
on a cold and windy day—
a game of ladders
Five ladders, three on this side, two on the other. I looked up, all the way up to the roof of the house—pulled over, got out of the car, walked back and snapped a couple of pictures. Two additional workmen on the sidewalk across the street smiled and asked me if I wanted to go up there. “No thanks,” I said, “not my cup of tea!”
1913. that bush
that bush:
in a tangle every which way
bad hair day!
Soon as I saw that bush, “bad hair day” flashed into my mind like a firecracker! Glad I don’t have curly hair. I’d hate to have to brush that out!😉
1912. snow scene
snow
on the rails, the trees, the field—
where was this?
I like this picture. I really like this picture. I zoom in and look around at all the pretty snow but can’t remember where this was, or is. I must’ve been driving, there’s snow on the window. My phone dates this December 14, 10:38AM and shows Flourtown but, for the life of me, I can’t figure out where this is, or was. I wonder if Dan might know.
1911. football sunday
there’s Mikey
all set for the eagles game—
what time is kickoff?!
Mikey loves Sundays. Mikey loves football. She’s got the best seat in the house, all set for today’s games. 😻
1910. cat people
“cat people welcome”
signpost at the front door—
my kinda people
I saw the sign by the front door and stopped. I thought about knocking, but didn’t. Next time I will. ☺️
1909. happy old dog
december 31
all the dogs rubbing noses
in good company
“In Good Company” — 8x10” — Origami
Celebrating memories of the year passing by and ringing in promise a new year to come, everywhere she looked all her dogs for good company—to pet, or give a treat, or rub a belly, or warm her feet. Yes, she was a happy old dog on New Year’s Eve.🐶
1908. Happy New Year🥳
wet nose
on the rolled up window—
happy new year!

waiting in line
outside the chinese takeout—
the dog and me
A simple life is a good life—one from column A, one from column B. Too many choices is not such a good thing, it only complicates things. Give me a simple life and I’ll be happy.
May we all live well in health, happiness, harmony, laughter and love. Happy New Year everyone!!!🧧🌟🥳
