Weathering Life

Weather ...

Yesterday was glorious ... fluffy snow and mild temperatures ...

Kenya and I met Stella, the 7 month old Bernese Mountain Dog. She is so very puppyish ... hair sort of unkempt and lots of barking excitement. She still chews EVERYTHING, but Kenya wasted no time telling her to get the hell down off the kitchen counter where she was checking out the fruit bowl, and when she attempted to eat a leaf from a plant she was all over her with bitchy scolding. Stella's owner went home with new hope that her puppy might come home after her holiday here with good manners. I will make sure that all the decks are as clear as possible by the time she arrives ... not just for her, but also for the Sprout who is 15 months old and a human mass of fast moving mayhem.

Rain today ...

Maybe I can finish clearing the 39 steps ... I hope I will be able to get out and back up my hill with antihistamines ...

Maybe I should call Wabi Sabi again ... yes I am definitely allergic to the wool for Mud Mama's slippers ...

Maybe I will make shortbread, dog biscuits and bread (in my just finished bread baker).

Maybe I will finish the tea cozy I knit last night ... a prototype.

Maybe I should plan meals for when everyone is here and make grocery lists.

Maybe I should see about some almost free long distance plans to replace the Bell one.

Maybe I will pay my bills.

Or maybe I will just go back to bed with my sore eyes and head ache that kept me awake most of the night.
