The netted chicken yard is surviving the ice storm - the netting is pulled way down but the chickens are all there and there doesn't seem to be any holes in the enclosure. They have food and water and fresh pine chip bedding under their shelter. We will have to use a bungee cord on the door for a bit as the ice has warped the door out of the frame and the latch clasp will not shut now.
And the dogs were playing out in the yard. I asked them to 'say cheese'.. and I think they did (the second shot). Kif is on the left, Rex in the middle and Spud on the right. Lucy is standing off in the background.
The viburnum (snowball bush) was also frozen in ice.. caught a couple of pictures of it, too.
Esme was at a sleepover last night, and Lucy was so insistent that I needed to find her so she could have the bedtime routine.. such a nose! She circled the room every half hour or so for hours until she finally settled down with Minerva. (her blue eyes really reflect the light weird, but Mark says she has a pupil shape disorder as well that only would show up in a picture like this - her pupils are oval not round)
Esme and I also went to the Lee School art bazaar in Paris on Saturday morning.. we saw a lot but couldn't buy much. Esme did buy a beautiful pastel drawing by a local artist which is now in a glass box in her room. We also were given a small black fish pottery spoon rest which I put by our sink for Esme to put her egg washing sponge on. She said the fish had a 'gentle line' which she loved. I really loved some art by Donna Revelee, and Esme wanted me to buy a fox painting she had made - but it was a bit higher than we could swing with Christmas spending already a bit over budget. I got her card and will try to see if there is anything we can support in the future.
