I checked the weather. Oh boy. Our temps will plummet to the single digits at Christmas, and Tuesday was the warmest (high of 48°F).
So...I skipped on out to the barn and mucked the coop, giving those lovely egg layers clean straw and warm beds. I needed the vitamin D and fresh air anyway, and a break from the kitchen.
I had a sink full of dishes anyway. I then decided to spend about two hours digging out photos for our youngest daughter. She had her party, but her sweet 16 birthday is approaching.
I also took advantage of the day and put the laundry on the line. The wind dried it very quickly too.
Here is the book I borrowed from the library. I have no idea if I'll get time to read it. I'm still crocheting two scarf orders, but not complaining either. It intrigued me, as my other blog (store) is called "Rooster's Crow Farm." It's where I post my items I hand create and offer for sale (you can visit it here). It's my slow start to a possible Etsy store. We'll see how business goes (again).
I can always check it out again later, when the scarves are all done.
Speaking of scarves, I created one for myself (like I need another one), when I should be making myself a hat. It's a Harley Davidson scarf. If I can find matching yarn (I used every bit from my stash), I will be making these to sell too.
I better get busy making King's doggie scarf too. If the temperature really does drop, he'll need it. The last time it was down in the teens, (not kidding) he tried to do his business on his back feet with his front feet in the air. Next thing you know, we'll be buying both dogs booties. Jesse has a pair and they come in handy on very cold days. The cold, icy ground is no fun for the dogs. One year we shoveled an area for them.
I think we have reached a record on how tall we can stack dirty dishes. We were plum lazy last night, and taking it slow. Even Youngest was home early and we had a nice visit before Hubby got home. She played with water color paints (my kids are extremely good artists), and I crocheted a Slytherin scarf. I'm about 80% done with that order.
