Squirrel Paparazi.....

A little Blue Steel....

Stop with the pictures!

OK..how about a little wave!

So my squirrel obsession continues. They are becoming easier to work with when it comes to posing. Especially Mr. Grey Squirrel. He is my most photogenic model right now! Sorry if you don't agree...but I think he is cute.....

Spring has Sprung...The Grass has Ris...I wonder where the flowers is?

This weekend it was unthinkable not to be outside enjoying the 60 degree weather that was served up. We celebrated Adam's dad's birthday this weekend. I also got to hang out with some old friends and to finish a wood project. The strawberry tower is complete. Pictures will follow shortly. But the highlight of my weekend was playing with Amara outside! Here are some photos from our day outside. Walter also joined in the fun as did a nesting red shoulder hawk who may be looking at Walter as a little snack! How I love northern Michigan.....

Including the kitchen sink......

Before Sink After Sink

For my birthday and Valentines day Adam put the finishing touches on my kitchen...for a while anyway. Last night when I got home he and his dad had installed my new sink and facet. Now with the dishwashers my co-workers bought me, the stove my parents bought me and Adams gifts my kitchen has a new face lift. I have never been so excited to do dishes as I was last night. Thank you, Thank you , Thank you everyone who helped complete my favorite room in the house.

My dad...

This past february my dad went on a fishing trip to Brazil. He came back with stories you would not belive however we had to believe his fish tail of a 66 lb catfish when pictures of it started surfacing on the Internet. He is having it mounted to hang on the wall. Not exactly a work of art...Catfish are pretty ugly...but nevertheless an accomplishment......Congrats Dad!

Say hello Mr. New Squirrel

So after another new face appeared in my window I started thinking whether squirrels see color? And if so do you think squirrels dislike other squirrels based on their color? Do you think squirrels are raceist? I only wonder because it has been battle royal with Mr. Black squirrel and Mr. Grey Squirrel.......Maybe it is because Mr. Grey Squirrel thinks it is unfair that all the opportunities have been passed out to Mr. Black Squirrel and now he is trying to get his share in this unfair world. Sounds like these squirrels are taking on affirmative action........

Meran-da-pa-looza comes to an end.....

Well this weekend capped off my week long birthday celebration. Friday Adam took myself and his parents out to Red Ginger for my Birthday. Saturday morning I went out to eat with Amanda James and we went to the Psychic fair where I got a great massage. Then we spent the day shopping and walking around downtown TC. Later in the evening my mom and ray took us out to the Wild Pony Saloon for burgers and followed that up with an evening of Wii. I totally dominated the bowling with an amazing 177. I also struck Danyle out too many times to count with my 97 mph fast ball. My arms are still sore this morning. Then yesterday we went over to the Sohns for a delicious steak dinner. I finished my wood project and got back to my house and cozy in my bed around 11:30. I am kind of glad I only have one birthday a year! Thank you to everyone who made my 28 so wonderful.

Say Hello to My Little Friends.......

Everday is a little more exciting now at work because of all the little surprises that await me at my window each morning. Today I got a new little bird, but he has been to fast for me to get a picture of. Yesterday, I had a new little squirrel and of course my old friends...mr. Black squirrel and mr. tufted tit mouse....
