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)
?
I was real happy with 12 little jars of Crab Apple jelly. Several will be put in a snack and treat basket for Christmas presents for a sister and 2 brothers. Others are trying to get one too ? and I probably will. I might make some thumbprint butter cookies with a jar. They would have a red center... Christmassy. I have some green jelly too. possibilities...

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
Looks like you're just as hooked ?on the new baby ? with all that love around her she can't help herself.

Sunny & bright here in Maryland. It’s not quite noon and already 50F in the shade.

We’re having a low key Christmas holiday. No parties, no trips, no traveling. Wifey, our Sully & me. ??

Enjoy the day.
It was 50f here at 2am this morning and has only went up. The only snowflakes I'll get is if I make some out of paper ? it's 57f now and the sun's not even out... it's overcast and kinda dark. But I'm still enjoying a quiet Christmas Eve and it's nice being with just me and my critters.?

And good day my friends, Wishing ALL of you a very Happy Holidays.
57° out now @ just before noon, we got .94" of rain last night and more to come tomorrow.
Alice my one eyed Duck? is eating lunch in the kitchen, and my morning chores are completed.
Have an errand to run this afternoon, to drop off my customary gift (A bottle of Dry Creek Vineyards Zin), and a loaf of Custard Bread, & a Jar of my Plum Jam, to my old Supervisor and a Co-worker.
Then it's Jam & Fresh egg's to some of my neighbors.
I typically go to Midnight Mass ?, but for the second year in a row, that won't be happening.
It gives me time to contemplate my life and the last year. . .
As I said . . Wishing you all >Peace< my friends. . . ?

We have a Christmas guest with us this year. My neighbor is out of town so we are watching their bird.
I cant remember what kind it is. ?
What is bothering me is they said she will be fine. On the screen porch in low 50's temperatures at night. Last night I put a space heater blowing on the cage. It is covered with a heavy blanket. But that doesn't seem to be enough. I am thinking about bringing it in tonight.20211224_105808.jpg

I think bringing the African Grey in for the duration of your care is a good idea. The bird is stressed being away from his human flock and being relegated to the screened in porch and away from people is even more stressful.

I would do the same if you're not happy.

Good afternoon/evening all.
It's 11 15 pm here and it has been a very wet but mild day with the same on the way for tomorrow.
I spent today getting some last minute bits and bobs and delivering pressies so that's all done, just have to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet of the day now - I don't even have to cook lunch now because my sister is insisting on cooking for us - probably felt sorry for my nephew :) . We'll eat it at my house though as my Brother in laws recently widowed Mum will be with them, so I thought it may be too much for her, so all I have to do is collect it and eat it and I'm sure it will be delicious!
Anyway I may pop in tomorrow to see how you're all faring but until then Merry Christmas to you and your families and have a lovely peaceful day.
Nadolig LLawen!

You can't help but love a puppy, she is beautiful.:<3:
I'm still waiting for a picture so can't show her yet.
I know what you mean but she sounds special with her little tail wagging off her body.? and wanting to be with everyone. Some of them just want to bite when they play.
