Monday Miscellany
- Herr Pit Bull (otherwise known as Meanness), was just leashed and loaded into a borrowed pick up. He apparently doesn’t like to go for rides because it took much cajoling on the part of the owner to get him up into the bed of the truck. But they drove away with the beast and here’s hopin’ he’s gone for good.
- here’s something I’ve never seen before: today it’s warm and sunny and I decided to hang the wash to dry on the line. I clipped jeans, sweaters, socks and the like to the line and then watched with astonishment that they were actually steamingĂ‚Â in the sunbeams.
- I spoke with the teacher who runs the tutoring program across the street today and she thinks she knows of some other homeschoolers up here! So maybe we aren’t the only ones after all…..
- Our christmas packages are shipped (there were only two this year to go), we’ve had on a few tunes (though Peter Pan is on right now), we’ve made some cards, and baked a batch of cookies. Like last year, I’m finding “christmas lite” to have it’s freedom. Excess is an impossibility and there is a certain beauty to that.
- I don’t think it’s going to be a white christmas this year…there is lots of rain in the forecast but not the low temps we’d need to make that snow. Our woodpile can use the reprieve and it’s not like there isn’t plenty of winter still left!
