Lloyds idea of a joke!

Lloyd was holding my camera while I went to get my cup of tea this afternoon and he snapped a load of pictures of me walking back towards him....ha bloody ha! I was cursing him!!! It was freezing cold outside with a windchill of -11c!!!!! I couldn't find my lovely warm scarf so I had on Susies turquoise one and my lovely (lol) blue hat (remember Monica I said I have ONE hat that fits my big head and its blue so it doesn't go with any of my coats except my blue winter coat - well this is that very hat lol) anyway I am sooooo NOT a hat person but it was cold so I had my hat on and Susies scarf and I didn't care what I looked like because I was at home and no one sees me at home.......and then Lloyd thought it was fun to snap pictures of me ;)

Getting revenge for me taking pictures of him while he was sleeping lol!

;)

I realised this morning that Lloyd and I have been together almost 8 years....it doesn't seem possible! Its flown by! It really shocked me!! Of course when I said this to Lloyd he was quick to say that it doesn't shock him at all.......because its been eight long years of HELL!!!! ;)

OMG I married my Father lol...just the kind of thing my Dad would say - he always says about how long he's been married.....'almost fifty years...you get less than that for murder'!!!! ;)

Amber girl!!

And here is Rosies big Sister, Amber! Amber is completely different to Rosie! Hard to get a picture of! She refuses to pose for the camera. She does NOT like to play fetch. She likes to catch a scent and then run after the scent. She likes to run on and see whats around and doesn't like to walk slowly with us......where as Rosie will walk with us all the way. Amber is very slender where as Rosie is chubby.Ambers coat is silky and smooth and doesn't mat at all like Rosies. It's easy to groom and keep tidy. Amber doesn't swim.

Rosie Posie...

Today was as good a day as any to take my camera with me and the dogs! It was sunny with blue skies and the awful wind we've had the last week had finally gone! This is my Rosie girl! She carried her ball the whole way for Lloyd to throw and kick for her :) She LOVES to play fetch!

For Dianne and Dad :)

I know, I know......I haven't been taking as many pictures of the other animals....I'm sorry! I will try to do something about that! Here is a picture of Charlie that I took on Friday!

Charlie is doing good......the workmen adore her - Tim especially I think. They used to park their trucks on the side where the workshop is and she would stay over there near them...but now they have moved everything over to the side near the pond and the beehive.....so Charlie,too, has moved - and she spends her day over there with them - keeping an eye on them ;) Really though its because she likes company - she just likes to be near people! The guys think its funnny that she has followed them over!

She now has a woodburning fireplace in the workshop and yesterday two new garage doors were fitted to the workshop - so she is nice and warm and secure in there now :).

I will add more pictures of the other animals this week - remind me to take my camera on some of the dog walks this week - I tend not to because my hands get cold.

Oh and on Friday when I took my camera out, a wasp got between my hand and the camera and stung the palm of my hand and its still annoyingly sore and itchy :( there are still so many wasps everywhere :(

Our squirrel friend! Caught!!!

Susie spotted our squirrel on the porch today and called me to get the camera! I couldn't see it so came back inside only for Laurence to say it was back again! I saw it run down by the workmens trailer and all the cedar shingles! Finally - our funny little squirrel who appears every now and then and seems to be living in our side woods, is caught on camera!!! It obviously likes the bird nuts from the feeder :) We'll have to get a squirrel feeder and nuts for him now!!! :)

Sleepy.....

I was reading last night in bed but couldn't resist creeping out of bed and taking a picture of Lloyd and sam asleep snuggled up. They looked cute in the glow of my bedside lamp. Its driving me nuts having Sam in bed with us when he is almost 4 (because of Chris being in his room because of the renovations) and I will be so glad when Chris moves back to his own room and Sam can go in his own room...but there are things I will miss - and this is one of them - as well as having Sam snuggled into me in the mornings like a hot water bottle after Lloyd has gone to work!

Watercolour ATC's

These atc's are for a watercolour atc swap at swap-bot. They are both going to 1 partner so I have called them 'Great Oaks From Little Acorns Grow'. This weekend I have also worked on Christmas and Winter act's for a swap I am doing with Tess and Stacey - but because they both read my blog I can't post pictures yet!!! :)
