The Farmer in the Dell

It's damp, gray and fretfully spitting rain this morning, so after two wonderful, whirlwind days of making merry (i love that phrase), I woke up this morning and had two leisurely mugs of coffee. For breakfast I dined on a chicken dish that had the same ingredients as a breakfast casserole, so I thought "why not?".

Deciding that a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single load, I scaled the laundry mountain and started a load. Then the dogs and I went for a long walk to work off the kinks from being inside for two days and feasting for the same two days - and in a car the day before.

So here at Casa de Shedding Retriever, we will be burrowing in and taking it easy. There might be a late afternoon excursion, and I will do some internet shopping for more RAM and more hard drive space, but other than that, it's going to be a low key day for me. I also need to look through the photos I took and evaluate the difference in the lenses and figure out what to share and what to discard.

But for now, I will leave you with the newest family member on the occasion of his new occupation: The Farmer in the Dell.


P.S. The photo is a little blurry as the Farmer would not be still and the center of focus is somewhere over the pig sty. I imagine that's a trait of farmers everywhere, as there is so much to do before sleep.
