I’m sorry if you read my blog just for the kid pictures. Aaron took the kids out geocaching today, and I had some time alone.

I recently lost my tripod quick-shoe, the part that holds the camera onto the tripod. I’m not even sure how or when it fell off, but I walked over to the park where Gus, Lena and I went last Thursday to see if it might be there. Nope.

It was so beautiful out that I kept on walking. Towards a nearby historic cemetery.

If you ever thought that state we live in is flat:

This cemetery is very large. Graves from the 1860s onward.

As it turns out, the cemetery is larger than I realized, with only one exit. Whoops. I walked a bit longer than planned.2014-01-19_0004

Gus has taken it upon himself to start helping me feed the dogs.

I hand him the bowls. He does a thorough visual inspection of the food and asks me “What’s dat?” at least 3 times, before I open the dog crate.

We both then tell the dogs to sit and once they are sitting, they get their bowl.

Fascinating business, right?

In exchange for feeding them, he expects the dogs to be his favorite cushion whenever required.

…this is what happens when I commit to posting every day.

This is not some cute country song. This is serious, serious business. A Doctor Who reference.

I’ll warn you, before you go any further, this is an energy-sucking, life consuming creature.

You are especially likely to encounter this “weeping angel” in the terrifying hour which we refer to as “naptime”.

And, you’ve got to love the Weeping Angel cat.
