this is my new camera and printer...I treated myself to an upgrade in camera to a Canon Powershot SX210 IS (thanks to my sister's recommendation) and my other printer was having issues scanning so I purchased a Canon MP250 Pixma Printer.....

this little fellow was at the suet feeder when it was so cold out......

and so was this cheeky chickadee.......

yes we have snow everywhere....and yes this snow is piled nearly as high as this house....the snow is being piled everywhere and being hauled away by truck loads.....sure hope we have a slow spring melt.......

I thought he was cute but not sure why I decided on 2 pictures in one blog......

This week has been a GOOD/BAD week....on January 31 I had an appointment to see my optometrist as I was having trouble with my eyes...to my surprise he told me my left blind eye is now seeing 46% from 3%....my right eye has shown an improvement of 15% necessitating the need for a change in my lens (I usually prepare myself for bad news not news of such an improvement...left me speechless) and then Wednesday we had a phone call from a dear friend of ours telling us he had been dx with terminal lung cancer...took us a back but we went in on Sunday and visited with him ...is doing fine and has his frst treatment Thursday February 10....

along with all the cold weather this week we have had some sunshine and wind...along with some melting and snow....I am not sure if I am the only one but I am looking forward to spring this year....there has been way to much winter for my liking......

my other project I am working on is spring cleaning my storage space...kinda slow going but it is getting there and should finish up this coming week......:)
