Hooray!

I can finally upload photos again.

The end result was something simple and quite stupid,

of course.

It seems I wasted a lot of time and a bit of money trying to figure the whole situation out,

but at least I can now start to upload my own photos again!

...

So, I was going through my photos on my computer today,

both new and old,

and stumbled across these...

This little guy was really enjoying taking his pick of my freshly washed fleece.

He was hopping around and tugging at bits of loose wool,

it was so cute!

This was this spring or summer,

I am guessing he was trying to build a nest!

Isn't he cute!

...

I love goldfinches,

many times they arrive in pairs.

Last year there was a couple that liked to feed on the sunflowers that had reseeded themselves from the birds the year before.

I named them Gus and Fredrika.

Maybe this is Gus!

All photos are from me.

Look here!

blah blah blah and a giveaway!

Good morning,

today is rather soggy.

I wish I could say it is a good day for me, but I seemed to have hurt my back and have been having horrible spasms and pain all morning.

It makes me feel like a granny.

It is so frustrating not to be able to work or really move.

...

Anyway, moving on to something more positive.

I love trees, especially birch trees.

They seem to have such a soft, powerful, feminine quality to them.

I don't know what made me think of them,

but I thought that I might share that with you...

...

Also, don't forget about my giveaway!

It ends tomorrow.

I will pick a winner tomorrow night and announce who it is on Saturday!

Good luck!!!
