Baby in a Cup

I finally got to use my teacup planter from Walmart to photograph a baby. This is Dillon and he was totally happy while sitting in this cup. I was worried that he might be uncomfortable but, I think he could have stayed there even longer.

19 Pound Guard Dog

Here's our little white dog playing with the kids last weekend. He takes his guard-dog role more seriously every day. He sits by the front door or by the garage or by the back sliding glass doors keeping an eye for possible intruders. 19 pounds and 19 inches - not really too scary.


Seems the battery in his "correction" collar had drained and sure enough, since he's constantly testing it, he disappeared from the yard. Thank goodness, the neighbors from two doors down called to report that he was on their front steps. That's the second time they have rescued him for us.

I finally sent off the order for this client last night - this process will get shorter in the future (I hope). This is one of my favorites.

Finally Time to Play with New Camera

My school (and place of employment) was cancelled at noon today due to our high winds and blowing snow. I'm so glad. I've finally had time to experiment a little with my new 5D and this awesome 85mm lens. We have more grandchildren coming this weekend so we're praying for safe travels. There were several accidents on Pearl City Rd this morning and lots of cars in the ditch between here and Rockford. I've got to tear myself away from this beautiful notebook computer and 'purty' Vista and finish getting my dinner and house ready for them. I tried the lasagna recipe from The Pioneer Woman website and it looks yummy.





March is definitely coming in like a lion here in NW Illinois.
