In front of the Christmas poinsettia Mark bought yesterday.  Getting ready for Christmas.

I also am standing proud today.  Today is the last day of National Blog Posting Month, aka NaBloPoMo, and I  managed to post every day.  I’m not saying they’re all inspired, but I did post everyday.   I’m pretty pleased with myself.  I’ll continue to post frequently, but I’m going to take occasional breaks.

See you in December.

Where I Stand Sunday is an ongoing photo essay examining the different places Lynn Krawczyk spends her life standing. Too often we take for granted the everyday places we spend our lives walking on. If you’d like to join her by posting a photo on Sunday of places you’ve been on your blog/photo hosting site/website, leave a comment on her Sunday posts telling her where she can find you/your photo and she’ll add a link to her sidebar so others can find you. I am one of those that Lynn has badgered into joining her, I have changed it to “where I stood”, because right now I’m sitting in front of the computer, not standing anywhere.

ps.  Hey Lynn, when does the novel come out?

A Christmas conversation between Scarlett, the ceramic bird and Swift, the small metal reindeer.

Narin, who likes to pose,

and Kitty, who doesn’t.

Remember, he gave his life.  Not so much gave, as it was taken from him.

I am thankful for my cats, my family, the lifestyle I enjoy, the places I travel, the many friends I’ve made, the fermenting stout on Libery Street, the pretty new scarf that’s keeping me warm, that I’m in my warm house and not walking in the parade with my friend Julia,  Netflix, our tenants, the colors of the spectrum, blues, computers, books, spiders, and many things too numerous to mention.  Have a happy holiday. gobble.

That this place might actually open it in the next week or two.

I did this watercolor/stamping a very long time ago, but I like it so I thought I’d show it today.

I’m having trouble coming to terms with this wintery weather.  For some reason skulls help.

Our sewers backed up again a couple of weeks ago, so now I’m thinking about the water that comes instantly when we need it and goes away even faster, when we’re through with it.  It even has the courtesy to wash our refuse away with it.  Very amazing, everytime I have the drains snaked out I swear I won’t take such a major thing for granted.  With Thanksgiving upon us, it is one of the many, many things I am thankful for.
