The Gift Tree from CharmWednesday was a really pretty sunny day, which was spent/wasted mostly sleeping. Had a spell of being nauseous, the first. And continued with the pain in shoulder and side. By evening was doing better.
A beautiful tabletop spruce tree arrangement arrived today from Charm. It is so fragrant and cheerful. Joe asked if I wanted our big artificial tree brought in but asked if he was going to decorate it and take it down later and he said no. So I declined having him bring it in. Anyway Debbie is sending a small fiber optic decorated tree along with Beverly and that is what we will have up when Beverly, Brent and Clayton are here for Christmas. They will be here in about a week from Saturday.
The field is very lonely and quiet with no horses there to watch. Usually for both of us the first thing we do in the morning is look out and check to see that the horses are doing o.k. So look instead for a few deer and the hawks that are hunting mice there. I didn't say that when we went to Jackson Monday a small herd of deer was out by the gate when I left and came back. They will probably be around until the snow gets too deep for them to find anything to eat there, then they will move to a better place.
Today - Thursday - is very cold, and was clear in the night but about sunrise began to set in to snow. By noon the hills are out of sight in the clouds and mist. We're doing fine, just no news to speak of. I'll get a shower and work some more on my painting. I assembled the new swivel sweeper and have the battery charging, then will try out my new toy.
Gina and Bob did come with their trailer this morning and get the last load of hay. They came in for a cup of tea and a nice visit. That was a very enjoyable distraction. Too bad I was still in my pjs! Sounds like they have a very busy day planned.
