Happy Wednesday all. A mild sunny morning. My new hip is feeling good, still need to use a walker to get about (and be safe). Dr said I need to take it easy for 3 months - all bets off if I accidentally fall doing something goofy. Luckily, I can get out to feed the birds, and go down into the basement and work on my lathe. ?
Better safe than sorry. It is so easy to get tangled up when one side is stronger than the other. Worse when you're trying to get back up. I learned the hard way last yr w/sciatica.

Me four

I donʻt even put up a tree. My husband says "Itʻs just another day" and my son wonʻt help me decorate, he says itʻs pointless because they get taken down later. Christmas presents - if wrapped are on the dining room table. Some of them are just in an Amazon box thrust at me. At least Maggie gets to put up a Dale Earnhardt tree.
We don't put up a tree either. No kids or grandchildren so why bother.

Good morning ! I’m having a very lazy morning so far. I got up and made the rounds for my critters this morning . Then I scooped up baby goose and shoved Cinder out of my spot in bed AND GOT RIGHT BACK IN ?
Jess made my second cup of coffee before she went to work and I have been laying here playing on my phone. Will be time to get moving soon. Today I’ll be off to visit my mother… I’ll try to get her to go to lunch with me but I’ve got a snowballs chance in hell of getting her to leave her house.. that’s ok, I have made a chocolate cheesecake pie to leave with her and should probably skip lunch anyways ?.
happy Thursday!

RAIN! and the rain ?️continues. . . had .94" in last 24 hrs.
Will be draining & refilling Goose pond with Rainwater collected in barrels over the last 2 days.
Making room for more rain water to be stored for the next couple of weeks. Yay!
Pineapple ?(Feijoas) Guava Jam turned out good. 13 Jars and one partial, which will be MINE for toast over the next few weeks.
Opened up the chicken coop earlier, Ducks are out and about, BUT, the chickens ?will have none of that, they will be hanging out inside the coop, most the day.
Hope everyone has a wonderful day. (Smiles)

Trees, trees & Christmas spirit. We put up a few both inside our house & one outside on our front porch. The outside one is decorated in bright red, gold & silver balls & small white lights. Adds lots of nice color to the dull gray days of December and looks nice in day and at night. This tree augments the rope lights we have wrapped along the posts, rails of porch & the trim of the house.

Inside we have one in our “sun room” that is decorated only with sparkly wooden ornaments that Ive turned on the lathe & wifey finished with Christmas colors & sparkly glitter. We also have a small fiber optic tree in another room, adds a bit of evening color & sparkle.

Good morning/afternoon all and happy Thursday.
It's a dreary, dark, cold, wet day here.
I've been out and about for some last minute things and just have a couple of pressies to wrap and deliver.
I called in to have a cuddle with Tilly, the new pup, who has settled in well and is wagging her tail so much it may be in danger of dropping off! It's good to see she is happy.
Lola has been out of his hide today but has gone back and looks like he's set to stay in there. I don't blame him!
Have a good day , see you later

Me and my Shiloh shepherd Winchester went to York River park this morning- 29 degrees! No bites on the rods but had the beach to ourselves
What a beautiful dog! And itʻs far too cold to be out fishing. Snuggle up with that beauty and have some hot chocolate - indoors. :)

Here’s a little ornament from this morning. Wifey in the process of painting.

View attachment 337960
Do you ever get to sell some of your ornaments? Give them for gifts? I usually don't sell the things I make because I'd rather just give them for gifts to my friends and family. Some people think they can just buy the same thing cheaper in a store of manufactured goods but they can't. Each one is so unique.?
