I love Matilda in Winter, but this Winter her fur hasn't fluffed up like it usually does. I don't know why...I know they've had two bouts of ringworm, but not anymore, not sure if it's the result of the poisoning...or another theory I have is that she might be allergic to the flea treatment. I buy the large dog revolution and then use a syringe and needle to extract the right amount for a cat dose and I can do 5 cats with one pippette of flea treatment, works out to be about $3.50 per cat rather than $11.00 per cat when I was using the cat flea treatment. She has a big b bald patch near where I dosed her on her neck....and I know last month one of the cats had something similar but I cant remember which cat, but it was a smaller bald patch...so I'll be using the cat one in future on Matilda....I miss her good looks. I know she looks great here...but usually her head fur is quite thicker and lion like.

A head-on collision that got my attention about twenty minutes ago. It sounded like it was in my house, but was actually about 120 yards away. A main commercial artery passes though my 100 year old residential neighborhood, the lanes are tight, the speed limit is low, and it is always congested. All parties appeared slightly shook up, but otherwise OK.
Nothing beats a baseball jersey with a pair of rinestone heel slip ons.
We had a yard sale today with two other families. Mary Grace was my helper and she had to have these shoes... as well as the bridesmaid dress that they went with... who can pass up blue taffeta for a buck (hurl)??
Andrew loves the shoes.... and he's got such great legs for heels. (giggle)
It's not often I can convince my wife to pose for me, but she was dressed for our date night, the light was good, and this seemed a good occasion....
Going up and around the first brushy section and big pouroff. Navigation along this side of the canyon wall was... let's say "tricky" in places. "Challenging" would do as well.
This was such a fun project (again!!) haha ^^
I got to do the face-up and bodyblush of Charles' Creatures Cabinet Fidelia Firefly, and she is so cute. I totally love her. Very tiny, very slender, and it was fun posing her. (ahum it's a lot of pictures I took and uploaden of her *^_^*)
Anyway, enjoy the photos.

Fulford Cave and Snowshoeing - My last adventure with Bryan before heading out to California. We got up at 4:30am, and left Boulder before 5am to beat the ski traffic. Drove up to Eagle, and had a greasy (but much needed) breakfast, and then headed up to the Yeoman Park parking lot, from which we snowshoed in to Fulford Cave, about 2 miles or so. Well, it would have been 2 miles if we hadn't just kept on going right past the cave! Eventually we came back down the hill, and started digging around in the snow looking for the "obvious" entrance in the area where it seemed like maybe the "trail" had ended (no one had been up to the cave since the last snow...).
The first time we passed by the cave, it was probably about 10:30am. By the time we got back to it, it was after noon. Then we found a mine shaft, which was the closest thing to a cave we'd seen so far, and we figured it must lead to the cave - how many mine shafts can there be just waiting around to be found right next to cave entrances? And so we decided to head on in. After much changing of clothes and some sliding around on the frozen pool of water at the entrance to the shaft, we were able to explore the entire extent of the excavation in 10 minutes. When we finally climbed back out onto the snow, there was a troop of a dozen or so boyscouts tromping by. It was 3pm.
We followed them to the cave entrance (which we never would have found on our own, as it was a hundred feet or so up the side of the ravine, and we'd somehow been led to believe that it was in the bottom of the ravine), and scrambled down ahead of them, happy to have finally found the entrance, but bummed to be followed by a cackling horde of junior high boys.
As it turned out, they didn't really spend that much time in the cave - probably less than an hour, and they didn't really see all that much of it. We had a map, and spent three hours exploring all of the major passageways, thankfully without unpleasant incident. It was cold enough near the entrance that there were lots of beautiful ice formation. There was a crystal clear stream running through the deepest parts of the cave, and a variety of small and large rooms truly arranged in 3D. A great beginning cave. Not too wet either, which was good, since when we popped out of the culvert into the darkness, the temperature was probably hovering around zero Fahrenheit.
We got changed back into our goretex, and headed off into the moonlit aspens, without even needing our headlamps, and before too long had warmed back up to a pleasant temperature. The moonlit snowshoe was incredible.
We drove down to the ranch of an acquaintance of Bryan's, Bob, near Eagle, and he had hot soup and bread and cheese waiting for us. It was perfect!
