Santa

On the 6th day of Christmas I have 6 of my Santa collection.  I have about 50 I think.  I add one every year.  None are expensive but fun to look at.

I don't know why this picture would not load with Justin's picture.  It took me a while a loss of a lot of patience getting Santa pictures on. 

Bob helped Katie and Cam get a floor in their dog kennel today so Callie can't dig out.  We hope anyway.  We did find one of the hens we thought she killed but didn't.  She is minus some feathers and was roughed up but alive.  Lane calls her the Road Runner chicken.  We had two small hens and Callie ate the other one.  She did get our pretty rooster yesterday and 2 others.  I feel bad for Katie, she loves her dog but it can't happen again.

Bob is getting happier and happier with Sage.  He says she goes in and out  like the lady that she is.  I must get out and spend time with her.  He gets so mad at Ditto.  She is old (almost 32) and is queen of the pasture.  She would tell you that if she could talk.  She comes in how she wants to and into whatever stall she wants because she gets extra grain that way.  He threatened her with a pitchfork tonight and she just rolled her eyes at him and strolled down the alley way into her stall.  She really does know where she belongs. 

Last night I finished reading a cute book.  The Christmas Pearl. By Dorothea Benton Frank.  Its an easy read about the family of a 93 year old lady in the south who is telling the story.  Also there is a collection of southern holiday recipes.  Its a book I will keep and maybe read again.  Not all believable but fun.  Its an older book but I have not seen it before.  Love the author and have read other things but this was especially nice.

Blessings,

Then Came Santa

Hasn't he grown.  Seven weeks yesterday.  He loves his bouncy.

Now back to try to get my Christmas picture to load.

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.
