Five little....................

On the 5th. day of Christmas

I give to you 5 little toes. 

He didn't want to hold his foot still.  I still could not get his whole foot in the picture but I guarantee he has five little toes.

I put the horses out this morning and Sage was so glad to see me.  It made me feel bad because I have not been spending much time with her.  She was so good. 

Another dead chicken and Katie and Cam have got to do something with her.  Not only does she like chickens, she likes to dig too.

I am getting things wrapped and wish I had a couple of boxes.  One to mail and one to just put stuff in to take to Marysville/Everett with us.   I got the mess off our bed so I can crawl in in a while and watch the Gonzaga/WSU basketball game.  I don't know who to root for. 

Snow is predicted for this weekend.  We will see.  I really don't mind it too much.  We had a beautiful sunset this evening and usually that means a good day tomorrow.  I hope the old wives tale holds true.

Blessings to you all.

5 little.........................

On the 4th. day.................

On the 4th. day of Christmas I have 4 book I have already read. 

Of course there are many more but those are quite recent.  I am not reading quite as much since I have been quilting. 

Rainy and grey again today and it was 50 degrees.  Really unusual for this time of the year.  Snow is predicted for this weekend.  At least it will cover the mud.  I don't mind the rain so much but the grey days are hard on me.

Have started wrapping gifts.  Have you ever tried to wrap gifts with a very active kitty "helping"?  I finally gave up until she went to sleep somewhere.  I want to get the box off to my sister by Friday.  And we are going over to Chrissy and Nikki's on the 20th so have to have things done so we can load them up along with suitcases and 2 dogs. 

Blessings

Bunnies

On the 3rd. Day of Christmas I have three bunnies. 

I  have my bathroom decorated with bunnies.  These 3 are part of my bunnie collection.

Just about finished my shopping today.  I think one more store and I will have it done.  Now to get it wrapped and my sisters package in the mail.  They are going away for Christmas and I want them to have the box to take with them.  They have rented a large cabin in the mountains for the entire family.  Its a difficult year for them and this sounds like a wonderful alternative.

Rain and wind, wind and rain - that is what we have had recently.  Last night was bad.  Bob went out right after dark for something and one of the steers met him face to face in the yard.  Whoops, all 9 of them were out.  We got them corner and penned up.  The gate to where they belonged was open so we just left them.  Herding cattle after dark in the wind and rain isn't fun at all.  This morning the bad boys were all back where they belonged and looked at Bob like, WHAT? 

Have Justin a little while tomorrow.  I have missed my baby. 

Blessings

RIP dear sweet Ezra

12-2-12

Sometime during the night Ezra hurt himself and he was humanely put down.  He was suffering really bad.  We did the best we could for him  since we helped rescue him.  He had been treated badly but we loved  him to health.  We will miss your sweet hee haw to greet us every time we went to the barn.

2nd. Day

On the second day of Christmas I have 2 Christmas Cactus blossoms.  There are many more but two was the number for today.  It rarely blooms at Christmas so I was surprised.

Yesterday as a good day.  Got everyone checked in and we ate a good dinner of roasted pork loin or chicken.  And of course all the other stuff that goes with it.  AND cheesecake for desert.  Those that won prizes and awards were thrilled.  Particularly the lead liners.  They are so cute.

So today we are off to church and then our quilting group is having a Christmas party and our own little quilt show.  I, of course, don't have a quilt just the pillow I made.  Next year I will have a quilt.

So blessings to all of you this rainy Sunday morning. 

On The First Day of Christmas...................

On the first day of Christmas, I have one black and white horse.

Every year I have this thing I do with the first 12 days of December.  I know the song refers to other days of the holidays but this is just something I like to do.  I kind of gets me going into the season.

I have a very busy weekend so this is getting done early today.  Love the things going on though.  Today is the Northeast Zone of Washington State Horseman awards banquet.  I have been in charge of reservations so have to be there early to get set up for people to start coming. 

Believe it or not the sun is shining.  Could hardly believe it when I opened the curtains.  Black clouds all around however.  I need to go put the horses out and get stuff into the car. 

Blessings to you all this first day of December.
