So many things seem to be the norm that shouldn't be....shouldn't be needed. Glad you're doing well, I sure hope Brian just has a little bug rather than anything bad. <br />Poppy seems to enjoy spreading out like a much bigger dog, and certainly seems to love those squirrels! <br /><br />Isn't the frost on the weeds lovely? I am always surprised at the beauty of simple things. We too had flocked roadsides and leaves. After our snow on the 18th, things were sooooo frosty, but then along came 30 hours of steady rain, and the snow is gone, though not the ice.<br /><br />A happy Christmas and New Year to you and yours, let us know how Brian does (and the rest of you!)Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17717382843550131146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-47719836179572697922020-12-27T18:49:37.746-08:002020-12-27T18:49:37.746-08:00Me, too, A.

It's usually the Sabbath before Christmas, but the powers that be decided to have it the day after this year. Beautiful music, and lots of donations on the Giving Tree.<br /><br />re'New, we are blessed with far less harsh weather here; frozen-up things sure make for extra work! Rick has been doing Brian's stall cleaning the last couple of days. I think he's taking advantage of being sick, because he got up and took a walk while we were at church today so he COULD have done his own chores....<br /><br />How special, wyomingheart; a WHITE Christmas!<br /><br />I will look forward to reading about YOUR Christmas, Elaine – and everything else you post! Stay well, too, friend.<br /><br />Sue, we are definitely hoping it's not COVID; some of the symptoms fit both it and mono. He certainly doesn't need to start out winter quarter sick after a fairly disastrous fall quarter!<br /><br />Mama Pea, he has admitted that he was sharing drinks' (I hope that just means soft drinks) with friends the week of Thanksgiving, which fits the incubation period for mono. And I admit to not doing much "taking care of;" he's not interested in eating and didn't have a temperature last we checked, so we are just letting him 'sleep' (not even sure how much of THAT he's doing with all the electronic devices he has in his room).Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550786937196525098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-72837002425045405372020-12-26T11:29:22.135-08:002020-12-26T11:29:22.135-08:00Enjoyed reading your update and, especially, the p...Enjoyed reading your update and, especially, the pictures you always include to make things so interesting. Brian's aliments may just be a "normal" letdown of being home after his first semester away at school. Being in a known, safe environment with mom to take care of you, often leads to the body saying, "Okay, now I can take the time to collapse and rebuild."Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-29008360969974444532020-12-26T09:45:16.902-08:002020-12-26T09:45:16.902-08:00I'm sorry to hear that Brian is ailing.

Hope you and your family continue to remain healthy through the end of this Pandemic. <br /><br />I have gotten into the habit of ending all conversations with folks I causally interact with (strangers like delivery folks, grocery checkers, etc.) with "Stay well." People usually have a quick moment of pause (like they don't hear that often) and return the same to me. It sort of is a way and recognizing we are all in this together ... really! A link between humans ....<br /><br />Stay well, Michelle.Retired Knitterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13662288640032813770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-72608591381753104692020-12-26T05:30:57.449-08:002020-12-26T05:30:57.449-08:00Your photos again, never disappoint!

SIL and daughter went to his parents/family out of state so someone had to stay to take care of the 4 leggeds... I had several drinkers that were frozen so that took some time to get liquid water to everyone. Windy blustery day that calmed down toward evening and we even got some sunshine.<br /><br />Christmas eve candlelight services put on by church members (pastor is being difficult it seems) was attended by me and my mother. My dad can't get in or out of the church without excessive effort - so he stayed home. My other two kiddos stayed home as we have a get together planned New Years instead.<br /><br />I spent just a little time in the loom room, went and helped the parents get on a family Zoom meeting, and came home to relax. Keeping the wood stove fueled also takes some time and effort. The kids will be home later today, so I will at least have someone to talk to --- goal for today is to do the dishes, the sink is full :)<br /><br />It hardly feels like anything other than a normal day.re'Newhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00518751244329059330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-14296661281647119582020-12-26T02:55:14.425-08:002020-12-26T02:55:14.425-08:00Well, Michelle, your holiday was much busier than ...Well, Michelle, your holiday was much busier than ours! I did get to go to the Christmas Eve service at 6:00. It was quite different from what we've usually had, but the man who is serving as our interim, does a lot of different things. My daughter, Marlys hasn't been able to attend, since the Christmas tree was put up. She had a violent asthma attack when she stepped in briefly the first time after the decorating was done. She was probably in there less than a minute. It's a long story... On Christmas Day we had two friends over for dinner. Marlys made a cheesecake from a recipe she made up as she went along. It's different, but good. We watched too much TV. There was a lot of talk about knitting, crocheting and other things yarnie!<br /><br />I really enjoyed reading about your time. The pictures of the frosted weeds are lovely. Thanks for including them. It was such fun reading about and seeing Poppy's part. She is such a beauty! Rico's latest toy interest is a simple tennis ball. Don't know how long that will last. He'll pick it up and toss it, or let us give it a toss. Jeannenoreply@blogger.com
