Which Would You Rather Do?

A couple of the rock squirrels hit the back yard about the same time every morning.  They expect to have fresh water, unsalted peanuts in the shell, lettuce, apple and once in a while carrots or Chex cereal. There is a whole family, but these two are the early risers of the bunch.

No.  Not spoiled or anything.  I figure that we took their land when the developers built the houses, so they, in return, get fed and watered.

The question at the top is between watching the squirrels chase each other around the yard or doing more straightening and organizing... I did finish cleaning off the work area around the cottage yesterday...I didn't however, manage to hide the dragon statues quick enough.

Tessie announced that she was going to make me a sign that said "Dragon parking only.  All others will be toad..."

I think that she forgot that she sometimes leaves her broom wherever she happens to land...

Anyway, this is what the area looks like today.  Enjoy it while you can....Tomorrow it will be right back in mess mode.

I moved my Grandma Daisy's stool in to set on while I work.  Somehow it is just enough taller than a regular chair to make it more comfortable. 

She took up housekeeping on the farm in 1903, so I imagine it is from about that time.  One of my favorite things.

I made a copy of this in mini a long time ago.  It is in the country kitchen that I made for my dad.

I have been working on the rug just a little.  I tried to make a copy of the pattern from the old laptop...It cut off part of the bottom.

I guess that I am going to have to put the pattern on one of those little thingamagigs that gets it from one computer to another to get a true copy of it.

It is coming along nicely.  I think that I like the border a little wider.. Now...If it were only finished, I would be all set.  Oh well.  Back to work, or to the squirrels.  I will toss a coin to see which activity wins.

See you tomorrow.
