The last few months have been a whirlwind...
Getting JoJo the pony.
Remodeling our boat house/garage into a living room.
Having a house guest. (luckily a very easy going one, and a hard worker too...)
Christmas and all it entails... including but not limited to a parade.
A peaked pony (Cricket) getting better still...
A peaked Pup (Kippy) better now...
*phhheewwww.
We can all use a nap.
So let's take a little wonder thru the holiday season and catch up a bit.
 |
| Marley has perfected the art of the nap. |
 |
| Kippy and Marley "sharing" a toy.... |
 |
| See how fast he can move his paw? He's like a blur! |
 |
| A rare moment of pups lined up by the Christmas tree... |
 |
| Odd Christmas decoration you're thinking? When we were in Ireland long ago, I crept into an abandoned old stone house... and inside it was dark. When my eyes adjusted to the light, there inside the big fire place was a BIG sheep, standing there staring back at me!! He looked about as happy as the one above! I excused myself and left him to business, before I got an angry sheep dents on my person!! |
 |
| Mice love Christmas too! |
 |
| A new Christmas friend! |
 |
| What? What is so funny? Did you take the picture? What are you looking at? |
 |
| Awwwwww.... JoJo. |
 |
| A flake. |
 |
| My treat to myself... a Christmas bear! |
 |
| The Christmas scenes are all over the place in here! |
 |
| and now, just before the end of December, it has gotten cold. |
 |
| Looking up the river at dusk... |
 |
| chilly winterberries. |
 |
| Cricket... |
 |
| Cricket foraging for grass with his Dad. |
 |
| Me, being lazy by the fire. |
 |
| Me, being not so lazy, running with JoJo on the front lawn. |
I wish you all a healthy and happy NewYear, filled with good things and happy moments and most excellent memories!
A Happy Year to you and your family also Mel. The Christmas sheep is lovely ... I understand his feelings ;-))))

DeleteI was making my way here to wish you a Happy new year. You are going to be so fit and healthily with all the exercise with the walks and exercising Jo Jo. I have just been on a walk, icy wind blowing off the sea, caught in a shower. Now going to draw some rosehips.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great year, health wealth , you already have the happiness.
Love your Christmasy pictures...Your animals look like lots of fun and hard work. So glad you popped by to my blog...loved the comment you left. Sounds like you needed to come to the North Pole with me for a rest. Happy New Year to you... :)

Wishing you a very Happy and Healthy New Year Mel.that goes for all of you there!Love the scenery inside and out! I'm hoping to keep well too, not like last year. You got snow!!!! It's sort of wet and mild here? Bit drab, but steady. Have fun in the snow, pooches look fab! :)

ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog! Looks like your new pony is very beautiful. I always look for temperament first, but when the horse looks so nice on top of it, that is icing on the cake! Looks like you and me have a similar appreciation for christmas time. We JUST took our tree down yesterday! I was so sad to see it go! Thanks for visiting my blog!
