my baby turns eight

this month ms. maisy moo lynn turned eight. 

my baby's getting old.

happy birthday maisy.

may you have many many many more.

here's a picture from her early modeling days.

tempting spring

on this day of cleaning and gardening, i have put out the spring bedding in hopes of tricking mother nature into believing that spring is here.

and it's hard to see in this picture, but it seems as if mr. keebs is making fast friends here in our new neighborhood.

keebs gets lovin from two neighbors.

M is for maisy.

waiting

as i'm waiting to see what's in this week's csa, waiting for someone to call me about a job, and waiting for sidewalks free of snow, there are some strange things going on here at the house.

my hair has been stricken with "bieber fever,"

moo is milking it for attention,

and mr. keebs has reverted back to some sort of mama's boy lap dog.

puppernutz

today i'm checking to see if tod, the bread starter, is still alive. while we wait for him to make bubbles, i give you the puppernutz.

baby it's cold out there

Happy Holidays Folks. we got a wee bit of snow today here in STL with some serious wind. so we though it would be fun to take a little walk up to the store for a few supplies. what we can home with, amongst other items, was some oh so yummy eggnog and whiskey. all i can say about that is.... dangerous!!!! i'm not a huge whisky fan, but let me tell you, that was some good shit. i also finally got my little fake tree up, looking pretty, and sitting on the table by the front window, which works out really well for the puppernutz. so the neighbors can also enjoy the holiday cheer, sometimes i open the blinds when the tree is lit up. the puppernutz think this is great cause then they can sit with their heads on the back of the sofa and keep watch over the street.

ms. moo takes her turn.
