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.

Halloween 2009

Wow, I am so slow. NaNoWriMo is this month so I've spent most of my time frantically writing. Anyway, here are some Halloween pictures. I was Tom Baker-era Doctor Who. My dad made the K-9 for me out of foam board.

Maple Tree

The maple tree outside my window has finally changed colours!

First Day of Work

This is me, at extremely early in the morning, on my first day of work at Karmanos.

Apple Orchard

This is me at Long's apple orchard in Commerce. I saw these baby apple trees with their first crop of apples and thought they were really cute!

Kitties being friends?!?!

Finally, the long-sought for photographic proof that all three cats can coexist peacefully. I like Miss Demeanor's laser eyes.

Sunflower

The first sunflower that bloomed in our garden. It's gone now; the bluejays came and ate all the seeds.

The Garden

We plant a vegetable garden every year, and this year was the largest one we have ever done. We planted green and red bell peppers, green beans, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, parsley, basil, garlic chives, and italian chives.

We just transplanted the herbs into pots since there is a frost advisory now. Most everything else is done for the year, although the peppers are still growing. We might get a few more if they survive the frost.

Memo on the Red Pillow

This is a red Moshi pillow that I've had for a while, and I put it out to see if Memo liked it. Now he sleeps there exclusively. I kind of irritated him in the first picture, or caught him before a yawn or something. He looks pretty funny.

Here's one of him sleeping. He's always curled up in it like this. I think he likes it because the little beans in it shift so he can lean on it.

Wisp Under the Bed

Here's Wisp sitting under my bed. I don't know why she was under there, or what she thought she was doing, but there she is. For the record those are Star Wars action figures in the little green bin.

Rainstorm

It rained like crazy this evening so I took a couple of pictures from my window. I was surprised they came out at all.
I've been very busy trying to get a job so I haven't taken any photos yet this September. I'll try to post the rest of my August ones and hopefully get some more taken.

Kitties and Catnip

This thing is a mat that you can put catnip inside and then the cats get all silly. They were bored so I got it out and put fresh catnip in it. Miss Demeanor and Wisp got very silly.
But eventually grumpy ol' Miss D. won and got the whole thing to herself.

Stratford

Earlier this month we went to the Stratford Festival up in Canada. I don't have any exciting pictures of the plays because you aren't allowed to take pictures, but here's one of me in Demetre's Family Restaurant.

We were killing time and drove around for a while outside of Stratford and there was corn.
A lot of corn.

The internet finally works on my desktop computer, so hopefully I can post more often.

Memo and the Crinkly Tube, Part 3

Okay, last pictures of Memo in the crinkly tube. Shortly after this he started playing in the crinkly tube all night long, so it went back into the hallway. Now he and Wisp crash through the crinkly tube . He shuts his eyes almost every time the flash goes off so he looks asleep when he isn't.
Same thing, he was completely awake.
His eyes are sort of open. Doesn't he look cute in his crinkly tube? Oh yes he does.

Memo and the Crinkly Tube, Part 2

I am so bad at updating this daily. Not that it matters a lot, because I'm pretty sure that I'm the only person who reads this, but for consistency's sake I wish I could remember. Of course if I was on my desktop and not my dying laptop that might make it easier.
Anyway, here's more of Memo trying to understand the crinkly tube.
He lays really close to it. I'm not sure why he went butt-first this time.
Then he finally climbed into it and decided it was pretty cool.
And then remembered the string on the outside.

I have three more pictures of Memo and the tube, and after that I think I have a little more Memo, one of Wisp, another kitty, and a couple involving Stratford.
