Fairy Doors

Jason helped me make these fairy doors. We put them in our woods on the trees so it looks as if we have fairies living in the forest. I wish you could see how cute they look as a group from our porch, but the camera doesn't pick it up very well from that far away. I can't wait for the gardening season to start!

Valentine's Day

We had a really fun Valentine's Day this year. We went out to dinner at the Outback with a gift card we got for Christmas. Our waiter was very funny, and the food was delicious. After our meal, we went home and made chocolate covered strawberries and watched a movie. A perfect night with my husband.

Ferrets in Snow

Our ferrets love tunneling in the snow. There wasn't too much out there this weekend, but they had fun anyway. For some reason, they seemed to want to take turns going outside. At the end, Cleveland heard a dog bark, freaked out, and ran inside.

Winter

I have enjoyed feeding the birds and squirrels on our back porch. They are do much fun to watch. I made my own suet cakes, and they all love it! I even decorated with a wreath and some fake poinsettias, which make really pretty pictures.

HACH Big Picture contest

Forgot to add this! If you haven't seen our submission yet, please check it out, it is worth seeing! I am in the skit with my coworkers, and my ferrets also played a small role. Just go to hach.com/bigpicture. Click on VOTE. They are currently voting for a fan favorite. You don't have to vote for us since we already won the grand prize, but you can view our submission on this page. We are the last one on the list, Cranberry Township Brush Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant. You can search for us on YouTube too.

Hollywood Walk of Fame

I didn't have time to see all the stars on the Walk of Fame, or to go into any of the shops along the street (although I am sure they would have been way too expensive for me). However, I can say I was on the Walk of Fame, and I did see many stars, and also the Chinese Theater where stars had written in the cement and placed their shoe or hand prints. There were street performers too. I also saw the Hollywood sign in the distance on the way there, but I could not get a picture.

Pacific Ocean at Santa Monica

I was able to see the Pacific Ocean! It was very hazy, so you could not see far in any direction. I picked up some seashells on the beach. The pier was not very long, so I walked up that too. It was not a nice day for the beach, and I didn't have time to hang out there anyway, so I didn't stay here long. There were some people swimming though.
