Snow in the Desert

Our backyard

Snow is powerful cold stuff.
(I am sure that is what she was thinking. If only she could articulate it.)

The cats love the snow.

The patio is usually much warmer than this.

Auntie Nina and Random Ellie Photos

Ellie and my sister. The nieces and nephews call her Auntie Nina. My sis was really jet- lagged but jumped right in when I needed her. She looked after Ellie and shuttled Philip to school when Simon was in the hospital.
She left Friday and I miss her.

The tongue has made lots of appearances lately.

No Ellie Beans...not the cat food. (At least she only tasted the cat food once). Now she just sorts it. Ok, pours it out all over the floor. She is helpful like that.

Don't get me wrong, hand me downs are great, but don't wait too long to hand them down. This hand-me-down 1990's onsie and skort cracked me up. I had to take a photo.

A little unsure

Cecelia, my hairdresser and friend (for 10 years now).

Rut roh, a few tears.

Yay! We can see her eyes now.
