This Holiday Animal Fair

We are leaving the chickens out this time....well..maybe just a note:

A mad scramble in the chicken yard...lots of white feathers on the ground....missing is Clover....Awful...The next day, as  they were ready to bury feathers and say a  prayer....who came crawling out from underneath the deck...Tough and brave Clover.....safe and sound.. 

 Aoife loves Llamas...every year she goes to the llama Christmas show and last summer, the family took a llama trip to the mountains.. 

Family cat, "Stitch" meets up with Australian shepherd, Rosie...Love at first  sight....well, almost!!

I love this!!

Here is my new fireplace...Sherry spent 5 hours putting this together...I love it so. Unfortunately, it has a  chipped corner....trying to get a replacement....3 rd party seller and I cannot get thru to Amazon..sigh.

Terrible picture, but I could not wait to share.

Lost in my mess...and found again...My grandmother's favorite holiday pins...Miss my grandma so much, but really....I am almost 78.  Most of us no longer have our grandmas.

She was  born in 1896 and died in 1996

A full day with physical therapy...an awesome Quilters' Christmas Party and friends hanging out in  the diner for hours.. The gloomy outside was outdone by the cozy inside...Now to sewing...Have had great expectations of sewing so much for my friends...but no energy here...Oh, well...Why do I  only want to nod off in front of the fire when I have tons to do???

Christmas came with no warning...just an overnight surprise.
