O we always like to leave a dish of fresh water out for the dogs as they play outside–just be sure to leave a plastic dish this time of year…just in case!

The Clothes Horse

The weather has been so changeable.  From really cold… to really warm…to cool…to foggy…to sunny…to rainy…to icy…to cold…to warm….to frigid….to warm…to very cold…back to hot.  Even the horses are keeping an extended wardrobe handy!

Then, of course, it is only a matter of deciding which blanket is best.  The extra heavy…or the medium…or the lightweight waterproof…or the heavy waterproof….or maybe no blanket….?  And whichever I decide, the next project is picking all the rest of the blankets up off the stable floor….because if the blankets really are handy–it also means that they are close enough to be pulled down when the horse is feeling bored. (Or perhaps, he is just not happy with the outfit that I have chosen for him?)

The Holidays–Time for Baking

Yes, it’s finally time for me to get baking!  And I think that the neighbors have caught on to my Christmas Cookie routine…because it seems that an awful lot of them just happen to “stop by” as the freshly-baked goodies are just coming out of the oven. Of course, I am more than happy to share!

The Holidays–Time to Decorate!

After the lights, of course, it is time to get the rest of the ornaments on the Christmas Tree.  It is amazing how many branches are on the average pine–plenty of space for lots and lots of decorations.

I always worry that when it if time for the ornaments to come off,  I will end up accidentally leaving a few behind–lost deep in the greenery of the tree.

The Holidays–Time for Mailing Packages

I love packaging up gifts and mailing them off to far-away relatives.  I always imagine what a surprise they will have when they find a special delivery tucked into their mailbox!
