"The snow is a white blanket that covers up everything living." Robert Frost

Looking out our kitchen window, this is my view. Snow is very comforting.
I love this week's topic, Blanket. See more here.

Ok-watching the pre-Superbowl now. There is something terribly wrong when there is a discussion of the football teams and Morrissey's, "How Soon is Now" is playing in the background. We didn't have headmasters here in the states, but we have jocks. And let me say, jocks don't listen to the Smith's. Jocks beat up the kids who listened to the Smiths.

There have been searches to our site, and mostly they are music themed, because of the titles.

Since I'm feeling helpful,(despite my Smiths rant) I will list some of the songs, and who sang them. (Go Patriots!!)

"1,2,3,4 tell me that you love me more"
1,2,3,4-Feist

"She'll make you breakfast, she'll make you toast"
She Don't Use Jelly-The Flaming Lips

"I see skies of blue, clouds of white"
What a Wonderful World-Louis Armstrong

"There's a river flowing by a willow tree"
My Only Love-Roxy Music
(I love Roxy songs. I love them so much I have to take breaks from listening to them.)

"Have you seen her dressed in blue"
She's a Rainbow-The Rolling Stones

"Always look on the bright side of life"
The Life of Brian-Monty Python

Illustration Friday topic- Tales and legends

To me tales and legends are about castles and knights. The dark forest, the dark knight and maybe a killer rabbit.

I love this color palette.

Burns Night

One day a couple of years ago, my husband called me from the train (aww) and said, "Do you know what today is?"

'Tis old Bobby Burns Birthday. And it is that time of year when you raise a glass and toast the most famous and loved Scottish poets.

It is one of the biggest holidays in Scotland. Can you imagine? All that haggis.

O my luve is like a red, red rose is a great poem.

He also penned Auld Lang Syne

(Scots pronunciation)
Shid ald akwentans bee firgot,
an nivir brocht ti mynd?
Shid ald akwentans bee firgot,
an ald lang syn?

Pinky the cast

Emily had her surgery, it's been 2 weeks past now. All of us had trouble sleeping before and after the surgery. Pets, once in your life, there is a fine line between being just an animal and being a family member. I felt bad knowing she had no idea she was about to have major surgery on her knee and the pain she would endure following the operation.

When she was home the next day, it was scary to see her on pain killers. Her normally elegant and thin head was puffy and swollen from the medication. She would stand and stare. Her refusal to eat, left me worried. I opened a can of tuna. Nothing helped. Emily was just feeling rotten from all the meds.

The next day, we stopped all medicine and bought some canned food. Finally she ate.

Now she is doing well. After we took off the very appropriate and girly pink wrapping, I made a leg warmer for her. It's nice to know my sewing has finally payed off and I made something useful.

She had a check-up 3 days ago and Dr. Bob was very pleased. Emily puts some weight on her foot when she walks and there is no fluid in her knee. Good signs.
