Beautiful Snow


The snow was gorgeous. If it were not cold, I would have stood out in it. I love the magnitude of nature's beauty when it is unexpected and pure. Snow is an infrequent guest in the south. I love it when I see some!

Animals in the snow

There are several cats and several racoons that come to eat on a nightly basis. We had snow several nights ago and only a few of the animals came out to eat.









This is the racoon that was brave enough to forage for food. There are usually between two and five racoons eating. I guess only one was brave enough to get some!













This is one of the stray cats that get fed on the deck on a nightly basis.

Almost Famous

Well, what can I say that would make this any less funny than it already is ?!?!?! Ah, nothing.

I wrote in to the Dr. Oz show (http://www.doctoroz.com) with the thought that maybe my mother and I could be on the show. We both have health problems. Dr. Oz was doing quite a few shows on various topics. We were one of the finalists, but, nay we did not win over the producers. I was not aiming towards that anyway. This is one of the more respectable shows on the telly.

Needless to say, if you have ever been an american couch potato, you probably have seen the Jerry Springer Show or the Maury Show at some point. I am not talking about baby mamas or DNA drama. Just old-fashioned medical information show. I still respect Dr Oz and his team of experts. There are no bitch fights or gay drama or faux pax weddings.

Maybe one day my karma and fate will align and I will have a respect outside of my own wee dark world!
