Way Too Cute!

My neighbor and his grandson were out and about Saturday afternoon enjoying the nice warm spring weather, I snapped this photo of James and Quasi-Boy, it was too cute not to share.
As I sit here posting this, it is snowing again, I think it is time for Ole Man Winter to hit the road. How about you?

New Camera


Cameras are my weakness, I used a SLR, a Pentax K1000 for years. I bought my first digital camera in 1997, it took a picture at 600 X 460 pixels or some such, but I love my toys. I have had several digital cameras since. One of my friends calls me Best Buy Betty..........lol.........and no my name is not Betty but I do love Best Buy.
My latest camera is a Nikon P5100, it takes great pictures, the above photos were in a magazine, I took a picture of the picture :)

New Beginnings










Today was a beautiful spring day! Finally! I wish tomorrow could be more of the same but it does not sound like that is gonna happen. I took the opportunity to clean out my raspberry bed, I did not get it finished but I put a large dent in the task. Loved soaking up all that Vitamin D. I stopped long enough to take a few pictures of plants poking their nose out of the ground.

Cardinals at the Feeder



I have had an over abundance of cardinals, I take that back there is no such thing as too many cardinals, they are probably my favorite bird. They finally got used to me taking their picture through my kitchen window.

The new Dell arrived today! I have it all up and running, with windows, anti-virus etc updated but have not loaded any of my programs or pictures or music. I will start working on that over the weekend. Right now I am back on my trusty laptop that I know and love.........lol. The new system is awesome I have to say.

I have a 3 day weekend, the first since January and the 1st one in six months that is not for something I really don't want to do. We are going to Iowa City to the VA hospital for my husband to get some work done on his hearing aids, I don't mind going there, it is an interesting place to people watch, going home through Cedar Rapids for some shopping and eating out, yeah! The forecast for the weekend is sunny and warmer, I hope to get outside.

Blooms Indoors











Sharing a few blooms inside. My Christmas Cactus is still going strong. The 3rd photo down is Mitriostigma axillare "African Gardenia", the yellow flower is Jasminum humileRevolutum’ "Yellow Jasmine" the pink one is a begonia and of course the white one is an African Violet, it is really large!
I had a new experience this past week, my computer crashed, the tech decided it was the mother board, so I was able to save all my files. Which I was grateful for as there are a lot of them! I have a new one on the way. I will finally get to learn Vista.
