Those squirrels don't have a chance!

Leave me be, willya?

Can you see me? Can you see me now?

February Blahs

Winter set in (again) with a vengeance this week. These pictures were taken early in the morning this week before I had to go out and drive to work. Obviously, Moonie was content to sit in front of the radiator all day, which is where I would rather have been!

Remember the Alamo!

I never really knew what "Remember the Alamo" meant until I listened to the docent at the real Alamo explain that it referred to remembering the atrocities committed on civilians who defended their women and children from attacks on the fort by Santa Ana and his troops in the early 1800's. Now the place has been turned into a shrine, and the weight of the history that happened there is easily discernable even by an eastern tenderfoot. Here's some pictures of the Alamo and also of the "battlefield" -- the green area in front of the building is all that remains. The rest has been lost to hotels and conference centers.

San Antonio in the Rain

I woke up this morning way too early, still on Eastern time. Even though it was lightly misting, it was still in the 60's so I decided to take a walk to the Mexican marketplace that I've been hearing a lot about, and find out just how far it was. Turns out it's only about a mile from the hotel. I got totally wet going up and back, and of course nothing was open yet (the story of my life), but it was interesting just to walk around and look.

The light was really flat, so the quality of these pictures is not real good.

Arthur with new plants

I went to PetSmart yesterday and bought Arthur some interior decoration. Here he is swimming around, wondering what the heck is going on.

My Amaryllis

Cynthia gave me an amaryllis bulb in early December, and here's what it developed into!

Adventures at G.G.'s

We had lots of fun in the snow. Apparently the squirrels had had lots of fun, too, since they left the apples they'd "squirreled away" (heh heh) up between the sugarhouse door and the roof!

And a good time was had by all!
