Poor Simon

I don't know how I'm gonna keep him in til Saturday morning!

Slingshots and Romaine

These 2 slingshots were part of the trimming up we did a few weeks back.

And food production is still going strong here in PA well into December. We had a wonderful dinner of sautéed swiss chard last night and Daniel promises me that we'll have baby carrots for Christmas dinner, yum!

Simon supervises work in the green house.

Simon in the Greenhouse

All the winter stuff finally got yanked yesterday, swiss chard, parsnips and yellow carrots. What you see is the early spring lettuces and I've just put in a second planting. Oh and I had company.

Study Buddies

You don't see Rosalie very much because she's up in her room studying.

And that's where you'll find Simon, keeping her company, and he ain't movin!

Simon

Sweet adorable Simon, (when he's sleeping).

 Even sweeter when he's wool!

 Look, he's not biting me.

 He has a soft white underbelly...

 and long stripy tail.

Oh no, he's awake!

Reindeer Confusion

I'm working on eyes and noses today. That meant a trip to the fabric store. Pin heads are just too small sometimes and I wanted glass beads or buttons. The blue and green eyes here are just pins for placement.

The best time to work on reindeer's is when Simon is doing this!!!
