Cherry Tree

Here's a zoom in on the cherry tree. It's just starting to bloom.

Tulips and Cherry Tree

The tulips were just finishing up and the cherry tree is just starting to bloom!

Proof that I really do have a job

My name is on the sign outside the lab door!

Maple tree

The maple tree finally got some leaves on it!

Tulips

The first tulips bloomed!

Powwow

So back on the tenth my Mum and I went to a powwow in Saline, MI. It's pronounced like Celine Dion, not like saline solution. Anyway, one of the things about powwows is that you have to be very careful who you take pictures of, because it's incredibly disrespectful to just take photos of the dancers in their regalia without permission. And I feel weird as a Native American asking to take a picture with a dancer like they're a tourist attraction, so I took no pictures of the dancing. I did buy this sweet hair tie thing though, so you get a picture of it instead.

Oh Plushy

Uh...I clearly didn't take this picture, but I like Evgeni Plushenko and feel the need to say so.

Easter

Just me on Easter after church.

Oops, March

That's Memo, the blob in the blanket. He really has a thing about polar fleece blankets.

I'm not sure what he was doing standing on my pillow, but it was funny.
Eventually he laid down on it and looked extra silly.
He was sleeping and looked extra cute with his paw hanging down.

New Room Arrangment

So way back in August I posted pictures of my room and then said I needed to take new ones because I had re-arranged it and then never did. Well, I finally did. The one above is my dresser with my plants on it.
I'm sitting at my desk, that's a bookcase, the top of the desk, and one wall.
My other bookcases, the television, my calendar and bed.
The last bookcase and the small one that contains games and DVDs. That's pretty much it.

Kitty Bed

I got Memo a kitty bed for Christmas. He likes to sit in it.

Moon

The moon was huge this one evening. It was only 6PM when I took the photo.

Cats

For some reason Memo thought that my collapsible file thing was good to sit in. He loves it. I don't know why.
Wisp was all wedged in between my pillows and looked ultra-sleepy and cute, so I took her picture before she woke up and got all grumpy.

Christmas Cookies

So I'm way behind, because of Christmas, and then working, and then just being lazy, so I have to finish out my 2009 pictures. So I'll make a bunch of posts in a row here to get them all done.
Clearly these are Christmas cookies that we made. Yes, there are dinosaurs in there. Christmas dinosaurs.

Pony!!!!

So this lady had brought a pony to the tree farm and kids could get pony rides for four dollars. I was clearly way too big to get a pony ride, so I got a picture and pet the pony for one dollar instead. Isn't he cute?

Christmas Tree

This is the Christmas tree we cut down. That's my Mom holding onto it. It's pretty sweet.

Baby Christmas Trees

These are some of the baby Christmas trees growing at Broadview Tree Farm. We go there every year to cut down a Christmas tree. It's in Milford.

First Snow

The first snow of the year, early in the morning.

Pets

Memo and Miss Demeanor being friendly. Actually they were both sleeping and I woke them up.
I had the camera out so Mischief wanted me to take her picture too. She's a pretty girl!

Christmas Lights

So I was really bad about taking pictures and updating this during November because it was NaNoWriMo and I wrote a novel during all my spare time. I'm also having issues finding things to take pictures of. Hopefully the holiday season will change that. Anyway, these are the view from my window of our Christmas lights. They're probably blurry since it's dark.
