I managed to finally get Miss Emma Tree decked out for Christmas & walked in on this little tableau when I showed up this morning. :)
I am busy, busy, busy this week - printing Christmas cards & pictures for everyone but me. I may send out New Year's cards to family & friends this season. And while I would like to pretend that I can make it through this month by posting only pictures - a wonderful, wonderful idea (see Darlene's December Views here & Jaime here), I know I cannot. But this week?
Maybe.
With maybe a word or two here and there.
thank God for Eileen Ivers or I would be stark raving mad!
My photos have become more important to me as I've continued blogging. Never thought that would happen. I thought it was all about the words... But I love my time strolling the yard with a camera looped around my neck. I appreciate your photos! You have a beautiful way with words, though.

I too am stymied where the photos are concerned, I still don't have a camera and am sad
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of pictures, this one tells quite a story! Made me laugh out loud. Definitely looks like trouble brewing...so much so that she can't even look at you. The guilt is just too much to bear.
ReplyDeleteSo cute.
:)
A beautiful blue backdrop for the trouble to come!
ReplyDeleteYou are energized for the holidays. Wish I'd made that much progress.
I just LOVE that color! Periwinkle is one of my all time favorite colors. Lily looks ornery...gotta watch that one!
ReplyDeleteLook at your sweet little Lily...Do you want to know something? I have a kitty named Lily with similar markings...well...she doesn't have any orange on her...but the whites are close...:) I'll have to post a pic...
ReplyDeleteOh, and I love your decorating style!
xo
Oh, such a cute kitty! looking a little too intrigued though, yikes! Beautiful tree, I especially love the bird, possibly the source of your felines curiosity?
ReplyDeletethis image tickled me no end! and it is quite compositionally pleasing as well! i hope we see more of the emma tree! i love the emma tree!!
ReplyDeleteyes...i'm with you.. i would like to do the december views but i swear i could not keep my mouth shut for 30 days no matter how hard i tried!
p.s. next year lets have a save-your-friend from-being-late-for-everything-christmas pact. if i would have made my christmas cards when you first brought it up in august i would have them right now. but i didn't and i don't ever get it done in time but i want to... next year. are you in? maybe you don't need help but i do and i am tagging you as my helper if you are willing. i know there is still time isn't there.. maybe i could still...
Brenda - Thank you. I lasted 2 days - already back to words. LOL!
ReplyDeleteMichelle - I have had times with no camera. The one I'm using now is the only one I have that hasn't been stolen. When I wasn't blogging, it felt okay, but when I lost one after beginning this blog, I felt sad & naked. Now that's not a pretty picture!
:)
San - Oh no. No energy. I just faked it. :) Still haven't bought one gift or made one card.
Christy - I love this color too. If we didn't have so many windows, I'd never get away with using it.
Celeste - Is your Lily a biter? a troublemaker? For, as Christy noticed, this Lily is ornery. But also sweet as pie.
Suvarna - I too wondered if it was that bird. But the tree is full of birds, so I don't know. Last year I had little tinkling bells attached - that truly got her attention! LOL!
Jaime - This picture really does say all that needs to be said. I'm not sure how guilty she felt though - I think she was plotting her next move! :)
Robin - YES! I am in! Where did this year go? We will have to have a 10 step plan - you're good at that - and we will have to have rules & meetings & everything. I'm liking this idea already!
