Slacking in this blog

By | December 23, 2011

I’m back home for a week now and I’m still not in the mood to blog.  The travel bug is still in me, and jet lag is not exactly over yet. I’m still thinking of Bali!!! There are a lot of the above kind of statues which I gather are some deities for protection, not [...]

Call me crazy

By | December 7, 2010

I’m enjoying my walks on the snow.  I guess I’m nuts to like the snow.  However when it comes to driving with snow on the ground, I detest it big time.    The dogs love the snow.  Tried to take pictures of them out in the snow but is so hard.  They move a lot and [...]

My current wallpaper on my home laptop.  This picture was taken last Thursday afternoon.  The snow definitely looks good on the tress and on the ground.  It is also nice to have them on the trails.  Why?  Coz the boys will lick the snow to quench their thirst.  This year winter is so far the [...]

Some pics of fresh snow

By | March 1, 2009

I took Ranger out to the trails on Friday afternoon. The other two were busy playing tug of war. Walking Ranger by himself is less stressful than when I walk him and Cooper together. I guess Cooper is too fast for Ranger so I have to hurry Ranger along. Anyways, here are some of the [...]

DB was so busy yesterday with his last minute winterizing the house.  Since we will be leaving soon, he busted his butt to get the windows winterized for winter.  I came home from my walk, helped him a little and went into my office and grabbed my camera.  I took the picture below and immediately [...]

Friday, Snow Day!
