Another little thing...

When I was down by the railroad, I noticed this bagworm...seems no matter how I work with it, it is still drab.  But I am posting it anyway.  I think I always noticed things like this from childhood on.  How I would have loved to have had a digital camera when I was a kid.

It has been overcast and wet here this entire day.  It was raining when I first got up...but felt like it could break loose any time.  and actually did rain some more.  Just a fine misting rain.  But guess what?  Most of the snow is gone.  I think all that is left is from where it was piled when shoveled. 

I think my cats must have spring fever!  They are into one thing and then another.  Just constantly picking at each other or getting into something that is mine.  Or into places they have no business being.  Worse than spoiled rotten kids.  This is Mama Cat and Puss Puss.

And Bubbie spent the night out.  I do not know what he thinks he is doing, but you can just see the mischievousness in his eyes.  If any cat's eyes can talk, his does.  He is either picking at Roger or at me half the time at least, and mostly picks at Roger.

He goes over and wants to sit with Roger, gets up there and sits about 5 minutes...insisting that Roger rub his chin.  Then gets up, runs to the door and looks back at Roger as if to say, WELL?  are you going to let me out or not. 

When he comes in, and he will usually be wanting back in within ten minutes...he always comes in and stops right ahead of us and doesn't move until we reach down and pet him.  Such a good life!

Remains of autumn

We decided to get out for a little drive today.  I saw some of these dried up remains and they were just so beautiful.  I could not get close to this but loved the background.  It was at the edge of the Big Raccoon Creek.  I cropped the photo I took to get this image.  I played with it a little bit with Picasa.

Normally, each comment is emailed to me.  The other day I just happened to notice that though I was getting comments, they were not all emailed to me.  So, if you have a question, and I don't reply to your comment, go ahead and email me.

Moo-oo-ooo

Just a few shots from the road...well, paused in the road.  The calf was a bit afraid.

The other cattle could have cared less...

they looked at us, but we were of no concern to them.

The little guy moved farther way.

I feel pretty much back to normal today...did not sleep Friday night.  About the time I would be nodding off, one of the cats would do something.  I finally just sat and read.  But yesterday I was wiped out all day.  Didn't do somethings cause I figured I would just mess things up.  I have learned not to sew anything or do any cutting when worn out like that.  I went to bed before midnight though!  Did not get up till 9½ hrs later.  Felt like a new person today.

We ran to Walmart for a few things, and on the way there we passed through part of the strip pit area and then by these cattle.  I bet no cows anywhere have had their pictures taken as often.  I sometimes wonder if their owners see me...they are just catty-corner  from them.  I usually feel that the big cows expect a treat so feel like they are treated well.

Now, for a little bit of fun...imagine catching this when ice fishing!  Edited to add:  I don't know why I said fun....I mean to say time for something amazing.
