Not a whole lot to report around here… we’re still in the Christmas rush, although it’s finally winding down. I’ve finally given up all hope of finishing the tree skirt (it’s no fun anymore, and we’re not keeping presents on the floor anyway because of all of the animals) and so all I’ve got left to do are the stockings. That’s on today’s agenda. I want to finish them (they won’t be anything overly intricate) and do some baking. I’ve been woefully lacking in the baking department this year. Poor Mike! Hopefully today I’ll have time to make some Almond Roca bars and peanut butter cookies. Keep your fingers crossed!!!

All of the animals are doing fine. Casper and Zorro have their first appointments with the vet on Friday, to get their shots. We decided not to have them spayed yet, as having a couple of litters of outdoor kitties might be fun. They’re so cute; they sleep in this tiny little nook ...

My dog is a sociopath. The younger one, I mean, Shay. She’s the mutt we got from the Humane Society when we got here. Now she’s just over a year old, and she’s still very much a puppy.

She’s never hurt them; she seems to have a soft mouth when it comes to cats. She also likes to “tree” the outside kitties. Finds that to be great fun. But Friday.. Well, we’ve finally let the guinea fowl start free-ranging during the daytime. They still don’t go very far — just venture into the garden adjacent to their pen — so now they’re vulnerable. Well.

Ah, Christmas preparations. That time of year when you age 10 years, gain 10 pounds, and swear 10 times that NEXT YEAR you’ll start earlier. HA! People the world over have been making that same promise, and the simple truth is – we ALL have last-minute things to do. What, you mean you don’t? I don’t want to hear about it! Don’t burst my bubble! Misery loves company, an’ all that.

So, what have I been doing? Quilting, quilting, quilting. I’ve got new pics to update – they’ll wait. I’ve got two other sites that need updating – they’ll wait. I’ve got curtains to make.. they won’t wait much longer. It’s COLD here!! I bought 20 yards of taupe flannel to make curtains for the living room. I’m spending today prewashing it while I continue frantically making Christmas presents and ...
