Day 3: Baby, it's cold outside

It's usually pretty warm here. As a matter of fact, it's supposed to be in the 70s this weekend. However, tonight it was about 36F outside my house. Because I'm kinda over the holiday-induced kid picture frenzy, I insisted I go out to shoot something else with my camera that takes crappy photos at night without flash. So, I did. Here it is. You may notice that the knot in this tree looks to have an owl in it. It does not; that is the security light reflecting off of knots in the wood.









The gazebo is lovely. I've lived 5 miles or so from it for most of my life, and tonight was the first time I've ever been at that park or at the gazebo. Strange what we take for granted in our native environments.






This little arrangement was rapidly set up in our bathroom to showcase three things that tickled me so much that I bought them for other people to give me this Christmas: Charlotte and Wilbur-ish Littlest Pet Shop pets, BE Buxom lip gloss from the mini set, and Chanel Allure, my favorite standby fragrance (and the one I wore at our Big Fat "Some of Us are Catholic and the Church is Pretty" Wedding, see lower sidebar). The eyes of these critters always look fuzzy... hmmmmm.
