Merry Christmas!
I accidentally decided to take a Christmas hiatus. Over the last week, I considered posting. Who wouldn't have wanted to read my sassy description of Davis bringing his pots and pans home for Christmas SO THAT HIS MOM AND DAD COULD HELP HIM SCRUB THEIR OIL ENCRUSTED BOTTOMS?
Adam definitely asked me to do a post about the Christmas day concert that he and Nico performed at our house on their new violin and grand piano music boxes.
There has to be a story worth relating about my niece dating a mouse elephant.
You definitely deserve to read the account of the annual Christmas bird count (as performed by the Brazos Master Naturalist and/or the local Audubon Society). Once again they spotted at least 150 vultures that live at one house. Those black dots on and around this house are roosting vultures not multiple lightning rods.
While those intrepid bird watchers/counters roamed the county spotting over 500 birds, about twenty Canadian (I'm guessing on their nationality. I didn't check their documents) geese dropped by our lake for a bit of a swim before they moved on further south.
This morning (I use that term more in hope than in confidence, since Davis is still asleep) we are packing the Young Prince up and sending him back to Ohio, betting once again that he can squeeze through between the storm that just blanketed the eastern half of the country and the one that's pending. I just don't know how he is going to work at the incredibly high standard and rate of productivity that he has become accustomed to, thanks to his diligent and able assistants:
OH.. I hope his travels were safe and hassle free. We have friends stuck in Germany for two more days... they are 7,000 flights behind!!!! GOOD LORD.
ReplyDeleteWhere did you get that piano and violin? And what scale are they--are they "Barbie" doll sized or bigger?
ReplyDeleteI laughed about Davis's "laundry". I had two come home with filthy, smelly things, but no pots and pans. Couldn't get them on the plane. THAT's why Davis braved the time, distance and weather and drove home. Happy scrubbing.
