A spate of nice weather has allowed us to be outside this weekend. Always welcome this time of year. Nothing new in the garden to share, so here's some pics of cats. This is 3 quarters of the Russian Mob, the nickname for our friends Kevin & Adam's cats. This is Nickolai, Nimon and Boris. Ivan was on the other couch.


We had a great time hanging out, playing games and eating dinner. Here's the wall of art out in the shop where the dart board is.


The sun is finally up enough to create some sunsets for us again. The trees sure are getting tall around us.

Cat blogging...

I've been working outside but nothing worth photographing for the blog, so here's a few cat pics.

Miss Gracie in all her woolley splendor.


Mr. Junebug, whose own coat is filling out beautifully.




Here's a closer shot of that xmas cactus in the background. It is a light red over a pale yellow giving an apricot effect. Love it.

Not much doin' here for the new year. Lots of cold weather. We had several days below freezing and you can see where the shadow of the house falls in the frost pattern in the back yard. After several nights it got so thick it looked like snow.


It was especially pretty on the sempervivums.


And the heuchera...


Daniel and I are eating primal for awhile to shed some pounds. Made a primal pizza last night - the crust is made from almond flour. Needs more experimenting.


And finally the official portrait of Her Royal Highness Princess Gracie Von Grumpus. I can't believe I got such a good shot. Click for larger.
