Wow.

Today is a wow day. It's a weird snow day in Buffalo where half the city is being blanketed and the other half has nothing.

Seriously.

This is a view down Genessee street in Cheektowaga. To the left is the storm, to the right is sun.

Tomorrow the snow band might move north, but we'll never get as much snow as the southtowns.

Also WoW, how long since I last blogged. I guess I'm not very dedicated to it. I tend to blog more when I have free time and there is very little of that in my life at this moment.   I've been blessed to be very busy lately and that is the important thing.  I have managed to read 50 books though, only two more for the goal this year. Glad I got ahead of that when I did!

Wishing for all to stay safe and warm and dry.

Outside the House

My daughter said she "didn't know we'd have a nature preserve at this house" yesterday when we were discussing how to stop upsetting a mama bird living by our front door. Now that the dog is getting older (see previous post) it seems we have multiple critters moving onto the property. Here are just some:

Baby rabbits (on side of the house)



The eggs in the nest (where we keep upsetting mama)



Why we keep upsetting her, she's is my hanging basket by the door above the mailbox! You can see her if you look closely.



Toady



Butterflies (from last year, my neighbor collects, hatches and releases back in the yard, we babysat)








We caught one of the caterpillars going into the pupa stage. Check this video out!

Flickr

So, I finally hit my 200 photo max on Flickr. Not surprising when I uploaded 125 photos on Saturday from the Ride for Roswell!

I've gone back and cleaned up the "bad" photos and got myself back down to 199 images. I'm going to blog about the sets over the next few weeks. Flickr claims that if an image has a link that people will be able to see it. So, I'm going to test that theory. Get ready for a bunch of posts with photos :)
