Instead, look at this lovely picture of my kitty, Miss P, posing under the Christmas tree.
Happy holidays!

If you’re in the neighborhood and just happen to have your paintbrush and paint clothes with you, stop on by. Harry and I are taking the day off from work to start painting the master bedroom. We figure it’ll take until Sunday. Harry does most of the rolling—no small chore with high ceilings—and I do all the tedious detail work. You, of course, can pitch in wherever you like.
We’re painting it a dove grey. So if you see some grey in my hair in the next few days, it’s paint. Got it? The grey is paint.

Happy Groundhog Day! What are you doing to celebrate?
We’ll have a special dinner of NOT groundhog. Dinner will be a special pasta (TBD) and some yummy homemade yeast rolls. Then we’ll pull out the photo album of past Groundhog Days and reminisce. We will toast Puxatawny Phil by opening the first bottle of my homemade apfelwein, which I hope is sparkly by now. If it’s any good, you’ll hear more about it.
Cheers!

Working from a home office is not always what it’s cracked up to be. I have a lousy IT department (me). Interruptions range from barking dogs to crowing roosters. I hear my business phone ring during non-business hours.
But there is a lot good about a 15 step commute. Such as today. It’s cloudy and a bit drizzly, but the temps will climb into the mid 60s for the second day in a row. I will turn off the heat, throw open the windows and give the house—and office—a good airing. Ahhh!

It’s cold here with a bit of ice and snow on the ground. The hens hate it.
There was a huge, chicken-y traffic jam at their window/door this morning. As I opened it three hens bolted outside. But they beat a hasty retreat back into the coop while other hens were still trying to get out. There was an impasse and much chicken shoving. There were no injuries—unless you count my sore sides from laughing so hard.

You and your Bro are funny. What a challenge. I can’t wait to hear about your "intellectual" gift. ha…
I do like your new template. The hummer is quite nice. I like the blue background. It is soothing.

Miss P is lovely, and I must say I am very impressed with your brother’s thoroughness in carrying out his poo theme. (Now I am looking forward to finding out what YOU gave HIM.) Merry Christmas!

Your kitty is so sweet, Robin–a lovely gift to find under the tree! I couldn’t resist your next post as well, and I think I may have managed to snort some coffee onto my keyboard in the process. That was too funny! Next year, you might want to look for "Paca Poo" chocolates (um, yeah…made to look like alpaca manure).
I like the redecorated site and and look forward to seeing the new one, too. In the meantime, Merry Christmas!

My kitty loves to snooze on the Christmas tree skirt too–almost as much as she likes napping on my placemat on the table!
