All the hens are crazy 'bout that big orange rooster.

Thursday Busyness
Snow flurries and overcast skies greeted me at sunrise; pretty much a raw morning as the wind is whipping around, making it feel much, much colder. The high temperature today is supposed to be 24, so the daily pattern of “break ice, fill with warm water, repeat” will continue so the sheep and chickens will have something to drink. Meanwhile, Lily is tending the fire for me while I make a pot of tea, and by tending, I mean napping upright on her pillow.
On my agenda for today, along with a mountain of laundry: cleaning up the last of the decorations and messes from Christmas, like the one I made in my sewing room while wrapping presents a couple of weeks ago. I’ve been able to put off dealing with that by just staying out of that room, but yesterday I couldn’t find my scissors in the midst of all the clutter, so its time. I also want to finish binding a small lap quilt I made for myself. The fabric has a Christmas theme and colors, but I used some really nice warm batting between the la…

JoJo and LuLu: A Love Story
When I was a little girl I was crazy about stuffed animals..... oh, I had a couple of baby dolls here and there, but they were never played with very much and always got left behind on the shelf in favor of some stuffed critter.
Many years ago when sock monkeys first became popular, my grandmother (or Mammaw, as I called her) made one for me. Well, not only for me, but she also made one for each of her other grandchildren, who are more like sisters and brothers to me instead of cousins.
(But I was her favorite. I know this because she made a hat for my monkey. *grin*)
My sock monkey was named JoJo... I don't remember exactly how JoJo got his name, or even why he was a "he", but for some reason I want to think my grandfather (Pappaw) had something to do with it.
(Pappaw felt like it was his purpose in life to give everything a silly name.)
But it didn't matter; he was JoJo, and he was my new best friend. He went everywhere I went.
Even if I was playing with anot…

Awww...that's a happy pup!
ReplyDeleteNow that is livin', she is working on her tan... ding... the timer went off, she needs to roll over.
ReplyDeleteWhat I wouldn't give for a little sunshine. I keep telling myself "at least it isn't snow" but that isn't working very well anymore. Have a good day.
ReplyDeleteLily is precious soaking up the warm sunshine! She makes me smile and I know she gives you so much JOY! Enjoy your day.
ReplyDeleteLilly is so cute soaking up that sun. I also love your sheep post on the Friday post. I have always wanted sheep, however, in this thorny brushland of Texas, usually goats are what everyone raises. However,if I just had the tractor power and the know how on getting it all done, I would be raising eyebrows, because I want sheep! LOL. blessings,Kathleen
