Christmas Eve

34°f, about 1°C, overcast and raining. Most of our snow has melted

Not a creature is stirring...except Larry, Buddy and Little Boy, who are out for their morning walk, in the rain. 

But here is Clyde the cat, who rarely stays still long enough for a picture.  At 15, he's a pretty spry old fellow. 


And here is the couch, boobytrapped because someone seems to be getting up there at night! Not naming names, but it's probably Little Boy, since Buddy claims Larry's chair. I have given up on that front, but am determined to keep dogs off the couch. Will I win that battle? The odds aren't good.


We don't have much on the agenda today. The house is clean, laundry caught up, the porch mopped and the yard tidied yesterday. My pies and tarts are done, and I just have a few things to make this afternoon. So maybe we will have breakfast in town, pick up olives ( which I forgot the other day), and enjoy the last minute bustle of shoppers. Or maybe just stay here? We shall see what Larry wants to do when he returns from his wet walk.

Merry Christmas Eve, friends!

  3. I love both cat pics. Everybody should embiggen them; they are pretty nice. We have snow, but it is bright out.

  4. I got a couch specifically for Piper, after she spent a few days at SleepAway Camp with my niece and learned that dogs can get on furniture. Even curled up, Piper took up 2/3 of her full-sized couch, and if anyone had the audacity to sit on that empty third, Piper would refuse to make eye contact but would get the most pained expression on her face.
    Wishing you and yours a lovely Christmas, Sue :)

  5. Your cat looks very content, for the moment. About the same here. Judy did a load of laundry yesterday, I did one this morning, we have no family or visitors coming and we two shall dine tonight on Egg Drop Soup and Pork Gyoza Potstickers. Possibly open a bottle of Prosecco. Happy Christmas, Susanna!
