Time Warp Tuesday

"And now, for something completely different" as Monty Python used to say.

OK, admit it,

how many of you are big kids?

I took a quick trip back in time the other day,

to watch

Donald Duck's Christmas on YouTube.

I can't remember how to embed the actual video here, but the link should work.

For some reason, this version is subtitled in German.

When you are done watching this one,

(it takes less than 10 minutes and will brighten your day)

Take a peak at this list

About.Com Free Christmas Movies

I have been watching them while I Iron.

They do take me back in time.

Next post will be more the usual.

But I really wanted to share these with you.

Let me know what you think,

Hope it makes you all smile.

Cheers,

Kat, and Spontaneous

Contest winner, and one happy cat.

Corner of Cat's Mind: What kind of nip do you grow down there in the South? Just a quick note about the contest I held last month. I took pictures of the prizes so I could show you. I wanted to wait till the winner, Catherine, received the package so she would be surprised.

She posted about the prize on her blog and her post is just to cute! So follow the link above and I will let Catherine tell you about it.

Short post

I have had a lovely busy weekend. We did not go anywhere exciting, just stayed home and concentrated on the important things. Hope you enjoyed your weekend too.

Happy Thanksgiving 2011

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

We have been quite busy around here.

We cleared this area,

and added the rock garden.

 We planted lots of bulbs around this tree.

 Can you believe we still have tadpoles?

If you look close where the arrow is you can see him under the reflected leaves.

The inset is focused a little more on him.

 This is the tree that was reflected in the last picture.

I took these just a few days ago,

yet nearly every leaf has fallen from this tree now.

 The barn, 

 The dogwood tree at it's autumn peak.

It has lost nearly every leaf too.

 Look at all those leaves!

 We get some particularly spectacular sunsets this time of year.

We have much to be thankful for here.

Hope your Thanksgiving was wonderful! 

Cheers,

Kat

Oops, one more look at last summer.

I was looking through all the pictures on my computer,

(there are probably way too many)

when I realized, I had not posted these.

So, since it is much cooler and a little overcast here today

and since some of you are already into winter,

I decided to post one more look at Summer in the South.

(These pictures were taken several months ago, it is not that green right now.)

 Yellow Summer Flowers,

Doesn't looking at this just warm you up?

 This one looks exotic.

I love the macro.

 Busy Bee.

Oh summer, I miss you already.

 Baby Black Bear up a tree.

OK, have you ever been told,

that if you are chased by a bear,

you should climb a tree?

 Mama Bear,

This just goes to show,

climbing a tree will not slow down a black bear.

There were actually two cubs up there but I could not get

both in one shot.

 Mama and Baby eating acorns,

Apparently they like acorns,

No worries,

I was using the zoom lens,

these guys were way up in the tree tops.

At one point, Mama Bear started to climb down,

the people below moved very fast getting away from the tree.

(Me included)

Later that day. 

Why am I wearing this funny hat and why am I grinning so hard?

 Navitat Zip Lines,

Now those of you who know me, will remember,

that I am afraid of heights.

I refuse to let that stop me.

When I was in the Air Force, I knew that being afraid of heights could cost my career,

so I went where I had to and did not let anyone know.

(You would not believe how high up the light on the tail of an aircraft can be.)

 Sara, one of our guides, hooking up my Sweet Husband's harness.

I asked him to go first.

 There he goes, he took right to it.

 I'm going where?

and I am doing what?

 Zipping is a rush! I had a blast.

This rope bridge was much scarier for some reason.

I was petrified all the way across.

I did not stop to take pictures!

I did it!

I did it several times!

I want to do it again!

Yes, I am nuts!

IT WAS FUN.

Want to join me next summer?

As I post this morning,

I am sitting in front of a lovely warm fire

and listening to Christmas music.

I don't really miss summer,

I am enjoying my autumn too much.

Have a lovely weekend,

Kat



Thankful Thursday

I am a very lucky girl!
