Four weeks away

Happy Sunday everyone! Writing my blog early in the morning seems to be a new habit....while sipping on coffee and eating a clementine. We woke up to another gorgeous sky. It's quite mild and a tad cloudy. Rain coming later today. 

This past week was good. We did a little bit of this, a little bit of that. Christmas is four weeks away and I haven't thought much about it. I suppose it's time to get my act together although I did buy our outdoor holiday planters. I will put up our tree next weekend and will start playing some holiday music. I'm not doing much baking this year, only two of Russell's favorites...coconut macaroons and cranberry/pistachio shortbread. My family will come over for Christmas dinner, first time since the start of the pandemic. Crazy! 

Our snow has melted, it took a while as we had cool nights and very little sun. We are enjoying mild temperatures now. 

Cooper & Spicy are doing wonderful. They now expect to play with their snuffle mats each and every morning...I started a "bad" habit. They wait at the top of the stairs or give me the stare down. I just laugh. Since I won't let them snuffle unsupervised, I now do it while I do my workout warmup on the bike. All three of us get to do our thing 😂We got them two Nina Ottosson dog puzzles last week and a third one is coming this week (thank you Lori for the recommendation). It will be fun to see how they do. I suspect Spicy will be curious, gentle and perhaps methodical like her daughter Pepper. I expect Coop to be more aggressive and frustrated if things don't go his way...time will tell and I will write an update in next week's blog.

It is bath day for the pooches. Russell said it was time, I looked at the calendar and it's been five weeks since their last spa day.  Time sure marches on.

We have a cute little bunny that has been residing behind our generator. He stays there during the day and moves around at dusk. He's quite cute to watch. It must be his safe zone.  Cooper & Spicy cannot see it from the backyard gate but they can smell it....they know it's there.

That's my blog for today. I will now get busy prepping my chicken pot pie for dinner. Have a great week everyone!

kitchen window this morning!

The workout/snuffle zone, everyone
is content!

Spicy in full rest mode...not a care in the world!

Cooper messing up his topknot in the 
comfort of his bed. What a cheeky 
lad he is!

A tad windy during a walk last week

Peter Rabbit likes the security found between
the wall and the generator...lounges there 
all day long.

Is it snuffle time yet?!
