Vitamin D
Interesting Hat She was only interested in her hat after a bit. But we learned all about pinecones and rocks and grass and trees today, so she was due for some mindless stuff. There was no shortage of its intake (Vitamin D) this weekend. That’s for sure! We all stayed fairly busy this weekend and…

Valentine’s Day!
My Valentine This was taken moments after the Ironic picture. She’s such a little sweetheart. So, I took a day off…and it was magical. Well, sort of. The last 36 hours have really been interesting. Several things have happened that I didn’t expect. But I’ll get to those in a moment. It did snow and…

Danger: Explosives!
Rapid Evaporation (#1) Selected frames from Attempt #1 of Matt’s Boiling Water Experiment (YouTube). At -12F, a quart of boiling water thrown in the air above one’s head results in this huge cloud of steam and about a half cup of snow/ice pellets falling to the ground. The majority of the water evaporates instantly. Well,…

Minus Eighteen!
Peek-A-Boo! I just think this is an incredibly cute picture. She was reaching for the camera, yet was peeking around at me while doing it. It’s a little after 10PM as I write this, and my thermometer tells me it’s -18.6F. Yeah, that’s pretty cold. 🙂 I have been taking part, as time allows over…

Have You Been Drinking, Sir?
Laughing At Mom Beth was tickling her and she gives the funniest looks. So I’m on my way home this evening, and it’s pretty dark by this time. I can see several miles in front of me that someone’s pulled over on the side of the road. Lights are flashing. Not all that normal for…

It Snowed!
Please? I absolutely love how Beth managed to get them both to look up at her while getting a cute picture like this. They’re so much fun. So it wasn’t exactly the big storm they were predicting, but we did manage to get about six inches of the stuff on Saturday. Enough to justify getting…

There’s A Storm A-Brewing!
Nice Tail I like how this picture turned out, even though Felix’s tail is in the frame (since he so nicely walked through). So it looks like this weekend will be the first real snowstorm of the season. I can’t wait, really! I’m looking forward to it, right down to stocking up on some things.…

Brrr!
Winding Along In The Distance This is one of my favorite shots of the day. I like how the few remaining colored leaves frame the exposed water in this picture. Sacred Heart Creek, Renville County, Minnesota So it got really pretty cold this evening. We went from a high of about 42 here this afternoon…

Seek Immediate Medical Attention If You Experience An Erection Lasting
Chew, Chew, Chew — It Is The Thing To Do I couldn’t get a good picture of her sitting still while she chewed on this teething ring, but you get the idea. She was an animal with this thing today. This title has absolutely nothing to do with the picture, and come to think of…

Crazy Clouds
Crazy Clouds I was at work when this storm system rolled through. When I saw these sort of clouds roll through at work I made a comment something to the effect of ‘I wish I had my camera…’ It just so happened that Beth read my mind and took this picture. There are (at least)…
