Gotta love the Upper Peninsula!  100% chance of snow tonight, tomorrow, tomorrow night, and Saturday, with 12 to 20 inches expected, all told.  Oof-da!  (And I’m not even Norwegian!)  We managed to miss the last big storm the Weather Service forecast, but I don’t think we’ll miss this one.  Just looked at the radar, and the tell-tale bands of lake-effect snow are already showing up.  Oooh, it just started to snow!  And it’s really coming down…

I know what I’ll be doing tomorrow!  ;)

But between the shoveling and snow blowing, I’ll be finishing up Sarah’s quilt.  I only have one border left to quilt, and then I can square it up and bind it.  Yay!  I’ve enjoyed working on it, but I’m ready for my next project.

Why do they always get an itch whenever I want to take a picture?

When I stuck my head out the door to get the mail a few minutes ago, I saw one of our many squirrels in the big oak tree by our driveway.  That’s the neighbor’s house in the background.  Mr. (or is it Ms?) Squirrel was sitting in the tree eating an acorn and looking cute, but by the time I managed to snap his picture, he’d put his head down to scratch his ear or something.  Drat!

The cat does it to me all the time, too.  Animals must see me coming when I have a camera!

It was cold on the porch, but I tried again.  This time he’s sitting on the ground,  having his snack.  Better shot!  I do like the telephoto button on my camera.  Otherwise, all you’d see would be a little gray dot against a big tree!

Molly Cat spends lots of time looking out the windows, keeping an eye on all these squirrels!  She’s always been an inside cat, so I don’t know what she’d do with a squirrel if she managed to catch one, but she does enjoy her squirrel-watching activities.
And I enjoy watching her watch the squirrels!
