Safe Inside

The moon is big and close. Who knows what dangers and lunatics are lurking about? Bella and her kitty friend have the right idea - they are sticking together in the safety of the barn, close to the wood stove. After a balmy couple of days the weather turned cold again. I got a nice walk up to the pond with the doggies today. There is still a layer of ice on it and no sign of life. Our foot long gold fish and froggie friends are still sleeping in the mud. That won't last long. I got some grocery shopping in, and made a fresh batch of Shepherd's Friend Hand Creme today. I wish I had more to show for this day, but here we are.
