Word #355 and 356


Vineyard
This photo was taken out the car window as
we slowly made our way to I-5.  This main freeway
had been closed for about 90 minutes while the 
plows did their job. We managed to get home 
after several hours of slowly driving 70 miles 
and going over two mountain passes.
I-5 is the main arterial for the west coast going
from B.C. Canada all the way down south to Mexico.


Blizzard
24 hours later it is still snowing and blowing gusts
up to 50-70 mph. Our first real taste of winter as
last winter was pretty mild. The snow drifts are amazing.

Stalking?

fox was after this particular squirrel....

Word #344

      Cat with Laundry
        December 7, 2012  
    
Cats truly do have attentive staff.

Lackadaisical
Cats don't do windows
Never raising their paws
They recline on pillows
And scratch with their claws
With their little stomping feet
Threatening a devilish trick
They demand their treat
And make it quick!
