Happy Valentines Day

Happy Valentines Day! I thought you might enjoy these pictures of Asha at Fanoos Saturday February 6. In each picture, she balances a sword. The previous dances, Pakastani and Indian dances, were so enchanting that I forgot to take out my camera.

Jesse's worn this shirt every day since Christmas, taking it off only long enough to launder it every so often. He's hurrying out of the picture instead of letting me photograph him with his newly completed puzzle.

Although we got three inches of snow in the clear, under the magnolia there was just a shadow of snow. Outside my window instead of a songbird I was just in time to see a victim lifted into the air. I believe the rooster next door summoned him to the neighborhood for a meal.

We've got snow

Chickens, meet Dude. Dude, meet chickens.

By the way, if you don't like one of (your) pictures on this blog, please let me know and I'll remove it right away.
