it's been another cold, rainy kind of a day...

no sunshine...

did very little...

not much motivation...

have no idea why...

but these are so cute...

thought you might want to use some of them...

the wind is high and howling...

glad I'm not out in it...

good chance the 3 amigos may be going up for adoption this weekend...

they go for testing this week...

and to get wormed and all the fun stuff...

the adoptions are great this time of the year...

the people have to wait and come back to get them...

but they have to pay up front...

the adoption fees are $45...

and they have to sign that they will have them fixed when the time comes...

they do get a voucher for that...

of course they do a background check during the waiting period with their vets...

and landlords if they rent...

just to make sure they are allowed to have pets...

all of our other babies have been adopted!

to very good AAA+ homes...

yippee!

so it looks like these babies are going to get their forever homes for Christmas...

;)

more piddle fartin' around...

still no totes opened..

nativity under the dome...

will add more stuff there later...

found these 2 guys...

you know there's more...

in the boxes...

in the front bedroom closet...

DH ran out to the VFW and brought breakfast back for us...

$4 takes you all the way and there's no way you can eat it all...

we made spaghetti for the rest of the day...

and it was so good!

39 and rain yesterday, so it was a good day to stay in...

did laundry most of the afternoon...

Craig and I do the main part of the laundry late in the week so we are ready to go for the weekend...

kind of got messed up this week...

seemed like there was a ton to do...

DH goes back to work this morning...

loved having him here for 4 days...

won't be long until he is off for Christmas!

need to make the call today for the kittens to go...

I am sure going to miss them, but I am ready to get back to normal around here...

we will still have Tori and BeauBeau, but they are older and should...

should...

stay out of the tree...

may have to wire it to the wall...

done that before...

hope you all have a good day going back to a regular world...

are you playing yet?

I have been, just a tad...

we haven't opened one Christmas tote yet...

but I had things hanging around...

I am liking less is more...

of course, you know me...

I like to pile it on, too!

Christmas images...

are you getting ready?

I am not sure what we are going to be doing today...

can you believe we have to cook?

yep- we ate almost of that stuff up already!

whoa is me...

isn't this cute?

I have it for my background on the computer...

makes me smile...

shoot, it makes me giggle...

have fun whatever you do today!

our Thanksgiving day...

it was partly sunny, but the wind had a bite to it...

DH wanted to make sure we got a photo of the blooming roses...

it's just so unreal...

we did a couple walks yesterday...

and ate and ate and ate some more...

the rail road came along this week and cut brush down along the tracks...

and left stuff like this...

and just piled the stuff up along the tracks...

they really need to clean it up...

it really was a wonderful day...

and I decided NOT to take photos of it...

I left the camera on the desk...

and we just did what we do...

just us...

Doug went home about noon today...

sent him a pile of food...

he enjoyed being home for a couple of days and we enjoyed us all being together...

and we all cooked together...

cleaned up together...

and napped, watched tv, walked outside...

we talked of Thanksgivings past and those not here...

and we talked about life...

but mostly, we were just in the moment...

and it was a very good place to be...

the guys planted about 100 spring bulbs this morning...

DH and Craig cleaned up the yard this afternoon...

pulled the tomato plants...

put up the hose...

it was in the 60s...

but colder weather is coming this next week and rain starting in tomorrow afternoon...

but we are ready now...

it's not the amount of people...

it's the quality of people...

hope your time was blessed...
