Kitty valentines

Bella and Olias want to wish you a happy valentine's day.

I love vampire mouth, which Olias is showing you here. It's difficult to capture, so I apologize for the blurriness. Honestly, I was just excited to have my camera handy when he made this face. If you don't have cats, or are not lucky enough to experience vampire mouth, certain smells make them open their mouth this way, and they just pause that way for a second, as if trying to recall the smell. It's hilarious, and always makes me smile.

Here's Bella in the sunlight. Both of my gray kitties enjoyed basking in the sun, and I was even able to open my window for a few hours yesterday afternoon.

I'm sorry to those of you who are still freezing, but it was nice to turn off the heater and enjoy some natural air in the house!

I snapped this picture at my sewing table yesterday. My sister made the calendar for me (she does them every year!), and I just love these pictures she took of Elliott and I. To the left, some patchwork (from my sewing machine cover), and to the right, there are some photos from my first San Fran trip (about six years ago).
