So Much for Making Plans!

Stanza with her first snowfall this year - she's not impressed

Louise, on the other hand, was glad to take a walk down by the creek and see how the snow looked, her first snow shots this year. There's something about a dusting of snow that puts one in the the Christmas mood............ After a block I had enough walking and Louise took me home, then came back with the camera and took some pics on her walk.

A dusting of snow turns everthing into a winter wonderland

A Wonderful Surprise Came Today

Stanza, determined to go for a LONG walk!

After work, Stanza (my 14 yr old Maine Coon Cat mix) and I went for a walk over along the creek, near the library and our new neighborhood. She is leash trained and has started actually wanting to go for walks like a dog in the past several weeks....... this is new behaviour. Today, she was determined to have quite a walk, I had to walk quickly to keep up with her. I kept wanting to stop and take pictures and she kept wanting to walk.

We ended up walking about a total of 10 or 12 blocks....... she was ready for more, but I wasn't, having just finished standing while working for the past 8 hours. I took a number of texture type photos during our walk, one old tree captured my interest due to the depth of the fissures in its bark.

Today, Louise received a "love quilt" from her online friends at Quilt Chat. They made a lovely blue and white quilt she will put on her bed........ a great new place for me to sleep.
