Oh I Love a Snowy Night

Last night, it started snowing AGAIN while I was getting gas. I love how the snow looks like shooting stars. When I got home, I snapped these pictures looking out onto the backyard. It’s difficult to see, but it was still snowing. I like how you can see the living/dining room superimposed on the image.…

Here We Snow Again

I’m starting to think I won’t see grass until June. Here in Cleveland,as in a large part of the nation, we’re in the midst of another winter storm (called Winter Storm Landon or Groundhog Snowstorm this time). It started with rain yesterday, which melted some of the snow from the previous storms. It was still…

Let It Snow!

For the last few weeks here in Cleveland we’ve been promised snow storms. It appears that the third time was indeed the “charm”. The last two times, we had predictions in excess of six inches. We not nothing. This time, it started snowing Sunday night. When I woke up on Monday morning, there was nearly…

Long Time, No Write

So it’s been a crazy six weeks here in the Marks’ household. I picked up an upper respiratory infection from one of the babies at work right before Thanksgiving. I was sick for a solid week. I was supposed to run the Pigskin Classic 5K. That didn’t happen. I never got my Ohio State tee…

Ballet Cat

I saw Ivory standing by the cat tower the other day. When I looked at her feet, her front paws looked like they were in second position. As soon as I took the picture, she shifted into first position. She is a lady of many talents.

A Girl and Her Cat

This was taken after a marathon brushing session with Gidgette. You can see the hair that came off of her sitting on the coffee table. I swear, there was enough hair their to make another cat (or a very luxurious toupee).

Gidgette in the Sun

The sun was shining into the living room right before I went back to work this afternoon. Ivory was on the couch chillaxing in a sunny spot. Gidgette was sunbathing on the floor. All of a sudden, she started rolling around just trying to soak in all of the beautiful sunlight. I could help but…

Up and Over

Shadow is very athletic, as many outdoor cats tend to be. He he is going up and over my brother’s neighbor’s fence. It’s your average fence, probably 4 feet high. He makes it look like nothing. Alas, he fence jumping, bug chasing days are over. He went to the vet the other day and is…

Naughty Girl Action

Ivory rarely jumps up on the kitchen counter. That was more of Gidgette’s thing (before the arthritis). Gidgette was known to jump up there and steal an entire hotdog. I caught Ivory up there the other night. I think there was a fly buzzing around that caught her attention. I caught her in this awesome…
