More PSP

More playing in PSP...................  hurry up spring, more gloom, rain and gray.

Paint Shop Pro

Life has been getting in the way of my blogging lately.   It has been warmer and our snow is now a dirty muddy mess, I can actually see part of our back yard, the dogs come in with muddy paws several times a day, we were actually able to take them for a walk this past weekend, the ice is finally gone from out streets.  It is cloudy, dreary and gray with drizzle and rain predicated for the next week, we have flood warnings, the Cedar River is expected to crest on Sunday, after 2008 the word "flood" makes me really nervous.

The photo above is a cleome that I played around with in PSP.  I love doing that, must be the frustrated artist in me, since I can't draw.

Camera Critter Saturday

Ahhhhh, this is the life....................... the sun has finally shown itself, it has been absent most of the winter here in Iowa, what's a kitty to do.

Orchid

I bought this orchid at Wal-Mart a couple of weekends ago.

Christmas Cactus

My old fashioned Christmas Cactus is putting on another show.  It must be especially happy this year. 

I had my grandsons this past weekend so did not have a chance to participate in Camera Critter Saturday but will be back next Saturday.  Had a great time with the boys!

We missed a snow storm yesterday, we have almost 40 inches of snow on the ground, I'm getting very winter weary.  We are starting to worry about flooding this spring, after the flood of 2008 we are still very nervous.
