The Sleeping Habits of Duchess

It's like a never ending stream of Duchess pictures, I swear. I try to avoid posting about Duchess so often, so I don't seem like the crazy cat lady, but... here she is: being herself. Now, if you'll excuse me, I gotta go think up some ways to make this less of a cat blog.

Taken earlier today. It's not uncommon to find her lounging about like this.

Or this. (taken earlier this week)

Even this. (also taken earlier this week)

And she snores.

Logan After Sunset

This evening, I tried to catch the sun setting behind the mountains, unfortunately I missed it.

I don't know how this will display on my blog, but I made a panorama of my side of Logan. This is the first time I've done a panorama with my new camera, so bear with me. The old camera only did 3 photos at a time and stitched them together on the spot. This camera lets you take as many pictures as you'd like then stitch them at home. So I've been running into size issues trying to upload this anywhere, but here it is:

Flying Kites 2008

These pictures are from kite flying in March 2008. Previously mentioned in this post, but I only gave you one picture from while we were flying the kites. So here is a flashback 2 years in the past. Hopefully, I can go kite flying again this year, weather permitting.

Tom getting his kite to fly.

Strings get knotted.

I think the actual kite flying happened over two days. So the cloudy skies and basketball shirt are one day, and the blue skies and hoodie are another.

Flying a dragonfly kite.

Flying a flaming kite.

Step-dad flying a very complex jet kite. It's really cool, but a little too heavy for the wind that day.

Tom getting his kite to fly. The only picture I showed you in the Easter Weekend post in 2008.

Everyone has to deal with their kite getting stuck in a tree at some point.

Tom went through several kites that weekend, and I only needed one. My faithful Nemo kite survived that day and lives on ready to fly 2 years later. I'm so proud of him.

A Peek at Spring

This may be from last week sometime. I just found a couple pictures on my camera from when I was going to go kite flying, but ended up not going. Again. When are we just going to have a nice windy day in which I can go kite flying?

Mother's Day

Here are some pictures I wanted to give my mom for Mother's day, but the printer failed me...

Tom's 11th, 12th, and 13th birthday.

Next time I'll get my pictures together and go to Inkley's.

All Grown Up

What's this?

One of Jessica's friends had a birthday...

That's right, Shannon grew another year older on Saturday, May 8th.

This reminds me of a song I know...

"Every birthday, my mom and dad would say

You're another year older, another year wiser

But I still go to school to get an education

I treat each and every day like a mini vacation!

All Grown Up!

I really wanna shout it out!

All Grown Up!

I want the world to know!

All Grown Up!

I really wanna shout it out!

All Grown Up with you

All Grown Up... with... you!"

For some reason, that song always comes to mind whenever someone has a birthday. I don't know why I still know the lyrics, though...

Lovely Weather, isn't it?

The weather lately... I don't know what to say. These pictures are from yesterday, Cinco de Mayo.

Plum Tree Blossoms before the rain

Cherry Tree Blossoms after the Rain

Don't even get me started on the snow. I didn't take pictures of it, because I didn't want to acknowledge it today.

Just Duchess

Duchess would like to inform Abby that she isn't so fond of her either. She would be in more blog posts if she could. I think it's because her environment is a little too dark for decent pictures to come out. Abby's got it lucky, living upstairs where all the sunlight is. Yet, Duchess still doesn't want anything to do with Abby, or so she says.

And here's Duchess if she had a mustache... because I was bored. I'm sorry, Duchess.

Just Abby

Abby and I were having a meeting the other day, and we don't approve of the recent weather changes, so we've been staying inside for the most part. Also, she likes that Duchess isn't on the blog as often. Probably because Abby isn't too fond of Duchess. I just haven't been able to get any good shots of that one lately.

Cherry Blossoms

Pictures taken Sunday afternoon, after the snow melted. Spring was just hiding from us for a while.

More Snow!

Surprise! Snow in May. Will it ever go away?

Clifford's cool with it, though. He's got a coat to keep him warm.
