Indulge Me

by Kay~Kacey on 1/31/2011

Please indulge me in a bit more of my obsession. Bird photos. Finches, to be exact this time.

Lots of finches. More of my obsession with bird photos over on my photography blog, Kay Pickens St. Louis photographer.

Just like me. Trying to survive the winter.

They sing for me sometimes, like they are almost HAPPY in the winter! What’s up with that…

Well, excuse me for a bit. I need to go batten down the hatches. It appears they are forecasting the storm of the century for my area. Ice, sleet, freezing rain…then snow. Maybe lots and lots of snow. I keep clinging to my dream world that it will all just slip by us and it will be spring. Anyone care to join me in my fantasy life?

Life in Focus – Blessings

tiny heart and paperweightWhen I started counting my blessings, my whole life turned around. ~  Willie Nelson

This is a tiny heart that one of my sons made in preschool. It makes me smile every time I see it. Not fancy. Nothing expensive. Just a tiny wooden heart. :heart: My life is full of many blessings.

Sometimes…

I just like to look at pretty things.

(Thanks, SuperGuy, for the flowers to brighten up my dreary winter days.)
