I love my bedroom curtains!

This sign really pissed me off.

. . . you will be missed dear lady, but the sky will hold you lofty and our hearts will hold you long.

This is Rose. She's five weeks old and has one blue eye and one brown eye. She is the newest member of the 36th Street clan and she is adorable. Say, "Hi Rose!"

. . . today's read

I'm off of work for five days!!! Having absolutely nothing in my ice box (hey, i work at one of the best organic food co-ops in the universe . . . i eat the best of the fresh daily, and on most days off i live on burritos and salads from weird salad-houses like soup plantation and ye olde taco bell), i realized that i needed to put something in there for midnight emergencies. Oh, and a few odds and ends for the counter as well.

jack and the iris . . . my backyard . . .

jack is my landlady's cat, but she finds that the flowers in my yard suit her better then the ones at her place.

where i wish i was right now . . . hot spring heaven, and these folks DO NOT chlorinate the water!

Spring Rain and Puppies

Sitting at home today and watching videos from the Best Friends Animal Society . . . . then it starts to rain outside my door . . . the birds love the lite shower. Click here, then choose the Pupsicles video; it'll put a smile on your face. And, if you've ever considered adopting a puppy, watch the Thanks for Rescuing Me video . . .

Yesterday's Walk

This sweet pup met me at the fence, in an alley near my house. I could hear her tail thumping a hello.

Self Portrait

Self portrait? Of course. Who else would take it, Scout? Anyway, as an old lady I want to be able to look back and see what I looked like with a hat on, while wearing a sleepy face.

Jesus Truck

For all the truckers who need a bit of chapel on the road

New Years Eve

I'm a bit tardy with these snaps . . . Elizabeth, Kent, and me!

Grand Canyon - Horseshoe Trai

This is a snap i had been wanting to take for years, but couldn't imagine that i ever would. How silly . . . why the hell would i limit myself with an idea of "i can't imagine that i can ever get this picture"? Move over doubt and fear, there's a new Amber on the block!

Scout

Now that Obama is in office, Scout can relax a bit and catch up on her napping.

Neko sings for the animals

Whahooooo! It’s official, the notoriously talented Miss Neko Case has a new album ready to debut in March of this year. In the meanwhile, because she’s so darn nice, and because we ALL love critters, Neko has made one of the songs from her new album Middle Cyclone available for download. And here’s the frosting on the cake, every time a blog reposts the song, Neko Case and ANTI-Records will make a cash donation to Best Friends Animal Society. Click here to listen and then download to your blog. Thank you Neko and ANTI!

Happy Birthday
