Lovey is home from the beauty salon. With sparkles in her hair...and...eyes, she is ready to begin the "happy ever after" chapter of her life. Seems like yesterday :-(<br />

I remembered this happening before, so I looked back through my blog -- and found this post from March 20, 2009 (click on the link below):<br />
<br />
<a href="http://myhappybluebird.blogspot.com/2009/03/ahhhspringtime.html" target="_blank"><span style="background-color: yellow; color: black;">Ahhh...springtime (2009)...</span></a><br />
<br />
<br />
The weather channel is making such a big deal about this -- but it has happened before -- probably quite a few times!<br />

<br />
The snow finally melted away from the iris that I never cut back in the fall. There's a bit of a breeze, but the sun is shining -- so my jacket was off and my sleeves were rolled up!<br />
<br />
Time to make a garden to do list -- I need to get a new pair of snippers -- there's lots of trimming to do!<br />
<br />
And...the tulips that Rick planted for me late in the fall are popping through already! :-)<br />

Schools are closed. Rick made it to work, slowly, but okay.<br />
<br />
Time to stop looking out the window and get back to my sewing room! :-)<br />

I took the photo with my new cell phone camera. I still use tracfone as the provider -- but now I have an LG Android phone. I am surprised at the quality of the photo -- not bad at all. I need to practice with this camera too -- I don't know how to zoom, etc. It won't ever be my "go to" camera -- because I only turn my cell phone on when I go out to run errands by myself. ;-)my happy bluebirdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04114645203732852521noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4774099588300557366.post-89824994495618366902015-02-24T07:00:00.000-05:002015-02-24T07:00:01.035-05:00~ winter sunset......too pretty to let it pass by. I grabbed my "new" camera and because I had to be quick, I set it on the "auto" setting. I did some minimal photoshop editing. I think it's <i>okay</i> -- but I want to do better.<br />

This is the camera that I received as a Christmas gift in December of 2013. I have now beat my own record for longest amount of time between getting a new camera and not using it.<br />
<br />
So, it's time to learn how to use the "new" camera. Why? Because my current goal is to "use what I have" to distract me from wanting things I don't already have -- so that I can get rid of some of the clutter here :-)<br />
<br />
Here are some photos taken yesterday -- while it was snowing:<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
None of the photos have been edited. I need to study them a bit and then move ahead to some other settings on the camera. I have my favorite settings that I use on my "old" camera -- and I need to find that comfort zone on this one too.<br />
<br />
Looks like the sun is trying to peek through -- it might be a good day for more practice ;-)<br />

<br />
Ozzy doesn't care that the temperature outside is only 5 degrees farenheit. He wants to go for a walk with me in the early morning. I try to delay the walk when it is so cold -- but he is persistent -- so I bundle up and take him.<br />
<br />
This morning we were treated to a beautiful sky -- and the morning flight of birds that passes overhead. This is a daily morning event -- usually I'm back in the house by this time, but this morning I took Ozzy for his walk and then came back in for my camera to take some photos of the beautiful morning, and...<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/myhappybluebird/16384350879" title="~ morning walk... by Linda, on Flickr"><img alt="~ morning walk..." height="285" src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7408/16384350879_a178465cc9_c.jpg" width="400" /></a>
<br />
<br />
...so I could take a photo of this :-(<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/myhappybluebird/16570659555" title="~ morning walk... by Linda, on Flickr"><img src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7310/16570659555_0b0dea71cb_c.jpg" width="400" height="300" alt="~ morning walk..."></a>
<br />
I first noticed some fur on the top of the snow (right side of photo). And then...the spatter of blood :-( It was bright red when I first saw it, and between the time when I went into the house to get my camera and then came back outside the spatter drops had deepened in color.<br />
<br />
I am feeling guilty now. Do you think if I had not delayed Ozzy's walk this would have not happened? And then I think that this was not a random act of violence -- it was a wild animal catching it's prey to be eaten for survival.<br />
<br />
There are some tracks -- and the fur can be from either a cat or rabbit. It's possible a vulture swooped down to pick up this animal -- but I didn't see any feathers. Since this happened on my front lawn, I will have to investigate it further -- I really don't want to have an animal carcass hanging around when the weather warms up.<br />
<br />
For now, I am off to the store to purchase some sewing supplies so I can continue with the quiltalong I mentioned yesterday.<br />
<br />

<br />
Rick did the first part of the shoveling and snowblower...Nicholas did the second half...and I knocked all the snow off the bushes and trees, and, then shovelled the porch and front walk.<br />
<br />
This afternoon's weather was different -- still cold but with pretty sunshine. So after some indoor chores I was able to work on a block from a new quilt along.<br />

Oh yes, and my little snowman block is finished too -- I made it into a pillow.<br />

Yesterday, I tried to clear away the snow bordering the sidewalk so that the meltoff could drain -- but it still puddled in the usual area and then froze last night. I threw down some sand mixture and put out pots to warn any pedestrians -- not that there would be any on such a bitterly cold morning. I had to wait until all of the cars travelling to and from the elementary school were finished with their morning ritual before I could take the "serene" photo. During that entire time, I was the only person out there -- I had long since brought Ozzy back in the house so his little footies wouldn't freeze!<br />
