Sleeping Beauties...

First a zoomed in look...

Look at all those sleeping beauties...can you imagine sleeping on the water like this?  In single digit weather?

This pond/strip pit is on the south side of the road...thus always looking slightly towards the sun.  Add that to the fact that I cannot see my screen I have a hard time getting a good picture.

If you will right click on these photos, then click open in new tab, or open in new window, I think it will be a big bigger photo.   

Thankful....

I have a hard time doing a post without a photo...so am showing you this kitty.  We saw it one night when walking around the strip pit.  I did not try to pet it...I did not want to end up wanting to bring it home.

This is Thankful Thursday over at Michelle's...I like sharing the things I am thankful for...and I am thankful for a lot.  On cold days such as today I am always so thankful to have heat at the touch of a switch.

And tonight I am especially thankful that Roger's blood pressure finally dropped to 138/82.  When I took it at the regular time it was 164/92.  He had not rode his bike today and then insisted on riding it half an hour.  He got done, took a shower, and I waited a while after that to take it again.  It ended up being 170/90!  I was about ready to take him to the ER.  I gave him a bit more time, he got in his chair and Puss sat with him and he stroked her.   About 50 minutes later he headed to bed.  Thankful that it was down to 138/82 at that time.

Did I show you this...

We came out of Walmart back in the summer and saw this in the distance...

Forgive me if this is a repeat.  We have Directv but one of these days I am apt to get so fed up with the rise in prices that I quit them.  I could go on a real rant here, but I won't.

I told you the other day about Sean of the South...well, his little story was excellent today.  Go HERE to read it...I think the women will really appreciate it.
