BASKING

The Black Buddha is wiser than most.

He knows to sit in a ray of sun on these cool wintery days.

He sat there without twitching while SWMBO took numerous photographs.

Until he came out of his meditation to look at what was disturbing it.

"Oh, there she is with that damned camera again."

SUN'S BACK

Yes, today is better with the sunshine back even though the temperature is still a bit crisp out there.

But yesterday was a different day.

Bits of snow and occasionally rain sprinkled my area from these portentous skies.

But nothing stuck and today is a sunny day.

Yay!

SNOW DAY

If you peer intently at this photograph you can see a few white spots.

The photograph was taken earlier today and those white spots are snow falling from our Arizona sky.

Keep in mind that we live at just over 5,100 feet so our weather is quite a bit different than that of Phoenix or Tucson or Yuma.

Regardless of that, the temperature was in the low 40's so none of the snow stuck here.

But winter appears to have crashed into us as the high temperature will be in the 40's every day for the foreseeable future.

And to someone accustomed to our normally balmy weather, that's downright chilly.

We're retired so barring the trips to doctor's visits and grocery stores, we can simply hunker down and stay warm in our home.

The BRD and her Beau Jack have another solution.

They're heading for Cabo San Lucas in a few days for a week in the sun.

It's 83 there right now.

LEAF ME ALONE!

(Catalyst is acting a little weird today)

IT'S BEGINNING . . . .

. . . . to look a lot like Christmas,

everywhere you go.

This homeowner in our development has a big evergreeen tree in his front yard and he has it decorated for the Yule.

It looks a big odd there, surrounded as it is by the other non-Christmas vegetation around his house.

But it was a nice discovery as we took a drive yesterday.

FRIDAY FUNNIES

Oh joy!

It's the hap-hap-happiest day of the week.

It's Friday!

And you know what that means.

No, no, no, stop planning your tours of the shopping meccas for Black Friday.

It's time for the Friday Funnies!

But first, this warning.

I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving and ate too much.

All right, that's enough merriment for awhile.

Until we meet again, please accept my wish that you have a wonderful weekend of Thanksgiving leftovers and always  (you can finish it, can't you?)  remember to keep laughing!

Here, kitty-kitty . . .

(uh-oh, he got there first.)

A FOWL DAY
