Dreaming of a White Christmas?





Finally the solstice, tomorrow our days begin to lengthen, even just a few minutes each day brings optimism. The dangerous wind chills and drifting snow are causing emergency warnings. But the predictions give us a white Christmas that we generally just hope for and more often than not don't receive. I'm working at rearranging my living area for working and I have 7 dogs underfoot. To take a break from that I have a cat who needs to wrap around my neck while I'm on the computer. Well actually anytime, but at the computer I'm a sitting duck. She needs a nail trim. I'm somewhat scarred from being her climbing post. She doesn't understand at all why I'm so displeased with her affections. It must be cabin fever. Captain is balking at the cold and I should fashion him a sweatshirt of sorts since his coat is barely a half inch thick. Dixie, the chihuahua also refuses to go out. Back to the reorder of living quarters for Christmas meal...so much to do...so little time.

Something about the fence there and looking off that is so peaceful to me. Thanks for sharing those pictures. Our four legged were bit cabin fevered too. hard to go out when the winds could blow you way if you lifted your leg. hehehe.

It looks so beautiful and yet very isolating. We just had summer solstice so days are now getting shorter.

So peaceful and meditative outside, so lively with pets inside. Some balance there, maybe? I didn't know you had so many animals, that cat wrapped around your neck still seems a loving gesture, a nice? way to stay warm during frigid temps. Balmy temps today in the 20's, Spring is coming, days getting longer, there is hope.
