Sunday, February 6

sunshine and primroses


studio desk last autumn

It seems lately that most of my posts here are written in front of the fire with the cat stretching her furry little white legs by my side. It's quite late at night; the dog is asleep in a strange position, kind of like a trussed up chicken. She seems comfortable with it. Much of Tim's and my entertainment around the house involves one or the other of us dragging the other by the sleeve to go look at something one of the pets is doing. Like yesterday ~ the cat was having her Zen moment in the sun amongst the St-John's-wort and the enormous snowdrifts. (side note: Mimi needs her Zen moment each day, otherwise she gets cranky. Cranky includes ambushing the dogs and/or keeping them prisoner in the kitchen by sitting in the doorway.)

I hear it's going to be sunny tomorrow and I am going to soak it in ~ I have a new white primrose in a yellow pot on the windowsill. It looks so fresh and feels like spring. When I can leave the house without tripping over an icy snowdrift I will be contented. I'm going to take myself to the art museum in the afternoon and possibly out to breakfast on the way.

Are you doing anything special for your sunday?

I am going to see The King's Speech or to the coffee shop to read and write. Can't decide.

I want a cat to keep Atlas prisoner in a room. On my command. I think it would come in handy. :)

Enjoy your sunshine and primrose!

That sounds like a fun day. I kind of want to do that now. Sigh. This is how I get so muddled! Too many choices! :) Have fun ~ I want to see that film too. I keep forgetting about going to the movies. :)

I love it when animals look like little turkeys, their legs and arms tucked away underneath them. It is so cute :)
I am going to spend the day in Chinatown with the hubs and some friends because there is a festival for the new year going on. Hopefully I will get some tasty treats there as well...Have fun at the museum!

it definitely felt like spring today and i didn't wear a jacket...only a vest. howie wore flip-flops. and i didn't button keira's coat up all the way to the top button. spring is coming soon :) i love your wooden shadow-box-ish container from the photo. I have never seen one like that with the circle in the middle! that looks like a garage sale item but i'm not sure...

we do what you do with your pets, but with Keira instead. one of us is always shaking the other and pointing to her..."look at that." :)

we started out on a short hike up to a favorite picnic spot - we ended up surrounded by a million gnats. we rescued the picnic and trekked out to the coast - we ended up happy campers :)

Jenna ~ I saw tons of people on Kelly Drive running in bare legs. It's so refreshing to go outside without a hat on! The wooden tray is a garage sale find, yes. I really like carved wooden things. I can see that people would do it with kids and babies too, like about our pets, I do it with my little neice Cait especially.

Jojo ~ oh, hiking sounds so nice. I think we're going to try to do a hike wednesday if the snowstorm doesn't hit.
