365 Pictures Feb 20-26

Hello,
To continue from last week about my knee - I finally had my MRI done on Tuesday; couldn't get into the doc until Thursday to find out I have torn the meniscus in my left knee.  Monday I get to go to KC to see an orthopedic surgeon  about getting that fix.  Spent most of the week at home because I'm suppose to stay off my knee as much as possible, which I've been doing, which means a lot of kitty & bird pictures this week.  So let see what this week brought in pictures.

Sunday 20 Feb

This is Stripes or aka Grouchy - because of the look on her face, which is there most of the time.  When my husband sits in his recliner to watch TV at night, she comes running for her "cuddle time".  She stretches out & sleeps.  If my husband in not in the chair by 8:00pm she will start following him around the house waiting for him to go sit in his chair.  Some night she doesn't get cuddle time & she is not happy the next day.  Of course the thoughts I'm getting right now is - you are disturbing my time with daddy, take that thing away.

Monday 21 Feb

 As I headed to town for a Chiropractor appointment for my knee, this was the scene 2 blocks from my house at the stop sign to the highway on the edge of town.  Geese!!!  Snow geese mostly.  This is my husband's 3rd cousin's corn field.  I'm sitting at the stop sign looking straight ahead to the left

Still looking straight ahead but turning to the right

Looking straight ahead & zoomed in.

Tuesday 22 Feb

You know it is a cold evening when two of the cats need cuddle time.  Motor is up by Stephen's chest & Grouchy in her normal spot.  My husband is so sweet to let the cats do this to him.  The plus side, they do keep you warm.

Wednesday 23 Feb

No Picture, not sure why, was home all day, but I guess I just forgot.

Thursday 24 Feb

 Birdie TV.  It had started to snow & the birds came in swarms to my feeders.  I'm glad I have a digital cameras because I just start snapping the same scene several times then look to see what I have in pictures.  So I was surprise to see I took to birds in flight - An American Gold Finch in the top left corner & a house finch bottom right.

Gotcha!!!

I love this picture because you can see the snow falling (kept getting heavier & heavier) & the little house finch peeping out after getting a bite to eat.  This took several shots because it seems every time I snapped a picture this little finch would duct back in to eat or show me it tail feathers.

Friday 25 Feb

It snowed most of the night.  Woke up to 8 inches of snow on the ground.  With a bum knee, I'm not going anywhere unless absolutely necessary.  Took this picture off our front porch.  There is usually a 6 foot clearance under this cedar tree but not today.

Saturday 26 Feb

This picture wasn't taken today, but 10 March 2010 in Haiti.  That is the presidential palace behind me.  I went to Haiti two months after the earthquake to help with relief.  I post this picture because starting on Friday & most of the day Saturday I started working on my blog about my mission trip & posting it.  I plan to work on it each day until I'm finished.  It was a week long mission trip & one of the highlights of my life.  So if you want to know more about my trip just scroll down.  I have numbered the days so you can read in order. 
I was suppose to have gone back two weeks ago, but my surgery post pond that trip.  That is fine because I'm sign up to go in March 2012.  Can't wait!!
