July 4 Sunset

The real show was in the sunset on July 4th, before the fireworks even began.
I am not a photographer at all. I just take photos of things I want to remember.
I have a simple camera and show these only to share things from nature that I think are pretty.

Icy Day

Oh wow, its snowing and sleeting after the nice mild weather of the past few days.
I can hear the ice hitting against the sides of the house and the trees are bending over so far in the wind, which is howling outside.
I put a fire in the fireplace to warm the cottage up a bit. It's really very chilly.
I have some cooking left to do for the weekend, but I am sitting here blogging and sipping hot tea and trying to warm up.
Sometimes you get that chill that just doesn't want to leave you. Even bundled up in a warm sweater and with the tea I feel chilly.
My poor dog does not do well in this weather. She is old now, and finds the weather effects her arthritis badly. I have to help her up and help her walk. She waits for me and we walk together. Her old bones just creak.
I give her those pills to help the joints repair and ester c helps stop pain for dogs with arthritis and she sleeps on an old crib mattress covered in a toasty warm blanket. Floors are just too cold for her.

This is the dear old lady. Isn't she beautiful? Just proves that age doens't ruin a girl's looks!
Well, while she snoozes and I sip tea, I leave you all with a smile and hope your weekend goes well and your weather is always sunny.
