I get by with a little help from my friends!

Side yard

Hi Friend! This was how it looked outside this morning when I got up. I did add a cooling filter to emphasize the coldness. All the roads are melting with the slightly higher temps.

Outside our front door

Since coming back into the blogging fold, I have had some difficulty ...actually a lot of difficulty...hair tearing out time. My friend Tammy of http://simplesouthernhappiness.blogspot.com/
came to my rescue. She was calming in my storm.  Thank you, Tammy! It took several hours trying to figure out how to re-do my header and make sure that it was centered. Adding to the confusion, I have Windows 8 which is so different from Windows XP that I had before.

The birds are feeding heavily at Cafe Wilson.
Here is my experimental shot of a bird, a female Cardinal, I think. I shot it through a tinted window in my sun room with my longest lens, a 18-105 mm that came with my Nikon D90. To have enough light, I upped my ISO to 2500. Do you think I need a new lens? :o)

Stay warm and safe. May the peace and love of Jesus be with you today and always!

Sraining here!

Hello Everyone! How in the world are you??

 It has been a while since I have blogged. And when you have been away from something for this long....well you forget how to do everything. It is really like starting all over again.

It has been sraining here in Kennesaw, Georgia. My new word for snow/rain. When it snows in the south, we shut down. Since it is such a rarity, the state hasn't invested in snow plows and other equipment.

Remember snow days? When we could stay home from school, go sledding in the back yard and come in for cookies and hot cocoa? That is exactly how it feels today. Jim, my husband, has been keeping our fire place blazing since early morn. So we are warm and toasty. Hope you are too.

The weather reports that the conditions will worsen tomorrow as we get more snow (srain) and it freezes on the roadways. Also many may lose power. Please pray for the safety of everyone, especially the young and elderly.

Does anyone know how to center my header??? I can't figure it out to save my life.

Hugs to you!
