It’s A Slizzard in Dixie!!!

 

I’m not a very patient person…

Feels good to get that off my chest…

I think I used to be patient, but I don’t want to waste time figuring it out!!!

I live in the MidSouth…and this is not funny!!!

I shot this from my front room…because I wasn’t about to go outside…

Yep, I just open the door and give the dogs a little push and then shut

the door till they start scratching to get back in…

I made one good decision when I built this house…steel doors!!!

 

These photos were made this morning…it hasn’t stopped snowing all day!!!

This is what our weatherman forecast as “flurries”….

The birds and squirrels have packed their bags and left…

looks like they could have asked me to go with them

 

What do you call a blizzard in the South??? …a slizzard???

 

“Slizzard In The South”…sounds like a country music song!!!

 

I could have cleaned house today…during the slizzard…but instead I kept my pj’s

on all day…with some of Michael’s thick white socks…don’t worry, I keep a

plentiful supply of Clorox for days like this…(for the socks)…and played…

My make-do placemat and table runner while I’m slizzarding in Dixie…

 

Slizzards bring really weird light…and I don’t really have room for this little table…

What do I do in a Slizzard and don’t have room for a Valentine Tablescape???

 

I fake a wall…with a couple pieces of big posterboard

…didn’t help the weird light though!!!

Moving fake walls are easy…

don’t look at the puppy pad on the right, Miss Zoe doesn’t like

getting her belly frozen…and all the stuff on the sofas (I cover my

slipcovers with paint tarps when it slizzards in the South)

…uuuhhhmmmm I layer slipcovers…

That’s all the excuses I’m makin…for now…

 

Test shot…my assistant was giving orders…woof, woof…

 

 

Bokeh is my newest, bestest bff…

 

Camera magic!!!

 

 

 

     

 

 

 

 

Susan has more fun stuff…Between Naps On The Porch

 

and this is what is going on in my gardens and yard Tootsie…

I’m pretty sure Tootsie won’t have an ounce of pity for us caught in the Slizzard!!!

My Heritage…Love

 

Kim Klassen Texture

This photo depicts my heritage, no, it doesn’t mean that I’m an exceptional baker or

homemaker---it stands for so much more than what the photo illustrates…

Strength

Love

Gentleness

Self-Worth

Forgiveness

It stands for all the things that my Mom and Grandmother stood for…

and it depicts the ways we have lived our lives…

steeped in a heritage

designed for surviving with love…

This is my “Table Top” photography studio this morning…

I’ll show you some shots…

 

…just as soon as I get through eating my breakfast/lunch brunch…

sorry I didn’t get a photo of my Diet Dr. Pepper…

 

My Mother and Grandmother were both excellent cooks…

no, I didn’t inherit that…

but that grilled cheese was wonderful and I did cook it!!!

 

I did inherit the love part though…

 

I’m very happy to say…

that my beautiful children…

well…

they inherited that love thing also!!!

So—I feel that I’ve done well with my heritage!!!

Many Furry Faces of Zoe

Zoe, my Morkie…is spoiled..and I did it!!! Debbie, over at

Debbiedoos, is highlighting her Mom’s Morkie today.

When I got Zoe nobody had ever heard of a Morkie so I’m

happy to see another one show up in blogland!!!

Welcome Beatrice!!! … and meet Zoe!!!

 

Zoe is in need of grooming right now…but her longer hair (these dogs have hair

instead of fur) is longer and you can see the colorations better.

 

Zoe’s favorite outside activity is going to the “field” to run and romp…

it is actually a corn/soybean field next to our house. We have to stay close to her

because there is a fenceline that is all grown up and houses lots of coyotes…Yes we live

in a town…but the field is out of the city limits.

 

The field is the perfect place to get your face real good and dirty!!!

 

Excuse me, but I have important things to do in this field!!!

 

OK, I’m tired now…a bath and some trimming sounds good…you will dry me with

that nice warm hairdryer…won’t you???

 

Baby Zoe

 

 

Looks like this has turned into a before/after post…Zoe has sure changed since

she was a little puppy…

 

 

Zoe and her friends…Buddy and Snakebit Kitty…

 

 

 

The one thing I see while I’m going through all of these photos is that Zoe…

Always Needs A Haircut!!!

Diet??? What Diet???

 

scotch & scones via Sunday In Bed

I know the feeling!!!

This is not my dog…just a photo I found on the internet…I don’t think my dogs

have enough energy to even try that…they like to sleep when it’s cold!!!

 

Furry First Friday…

Wallowing

 

 

 

 

I’m still wallowing in my bloggy ditch…
