Henry gets a bath

I struggle him into the bathtub one paw at a time, him removing paws from the dreadful tub where possible. Eventually I win and give him a good scrub. Afterwards he is exhausted and only makes it part way onto his bed before collapsing.

Holiday catch up

I have ridiculously few pictures from the holidays, though they were wonderful, wonderful. I just wasn't in shutterbug mode. Here's what little I have.

First of all around Kieran's birthday we decided to be a hide and go seek playing house. Here is Scott evading his grandson.


A trip to Seattle.


Jenga at Sirens in Port Townsend.


And finally I knit no presents for anyone this Christmas. I only worked on a cardigan for me. So there.

Beginning to feel a lot like Christmas

On a day when you both start marmalade...



and make cedar garland Christmas decorations it begins to feel a lot like Christmas.

Tree work

We just had some tree work done around the longhouse. Two snags came down, also the cedar on our west end got a massive trim, which lets a lot more light into the house. Thank goodness.




Now we need to clean up a lot of dead wood, erm, not so fun.

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving! There was snow, family, friends, and an over abundance of dogs. So, so much to be thankful for.
