Snow and Other Interruptions....
All of a Sudden, Dear Readers, it has been Snowing a Lot here in my Real World! We got about 9 inches of the lovely stuff on Sunday and today it has snowed all day.... adding another 6 inches of the frozen fluff! The flakes today were astonishingly beautiful.... each one a perfect and impossibly intricate variation of true snowflake form..... but it was terribly slippery to drive in! It took me hours to get home from my job.... even though I left early! So even though I am supposed to be working on my Christmas Card drawing.... and even though No minis got worked on last weekend, due to my supposedly working exclusively on the Christmas Card.... It seemed only right that I show you the snow covered Folly....
with Daphne's dogs, Duke and Duchess on the porch.
The full moon was flitting between the clouds last night...
shining on the Breast of the New Fallen Snow......
Giving a luster of midday to objects below......
But with the temperatures falling to nine below zero, (-9 F)
The Dogs did not stray far from the shelter of the porch!
And because I am supposed to be Only working on my Christmas Card.....
(in order to get it done in time.....)
I will just show you a sneak preview of the Castle....
Where Ken has plans to hold a Victorian Themed Christmas....
And has started to Decorate the Hall....
He has brought in his friends.....
Meet "Winston", "Desiree" and "Cinder"....
I think Ken wants to take their pictures....
For a Christmas Card.....!
And while we are visiting with all the Mini Dogs....
You may remember that we left Sally May's dogs guarding the House
while they went out to decorate the Tree at the Lovely old Dollhouse.....
Sally May had put all the cookies away out of reach...
but she forgot about the Gingerbread House....!
"Honey" is older and wiser... she knows "The Rule"....
Namely that it is only okay to eat it if it is On the floor!
But "Oreo" is younger and still has a lot to learn....
he really just wants to "sniff" the House....
But then something happens.....
And suddenly the House is On the Floor....!!!
Which makes it perfectly okay to eat it....!
So when Sally May and Annabelle return.....
They are met with Such Innocence...!
"House....?"
"What house...?"
So you can see, Dear Readers,
In spite of all the Snow and Interruptions,
I have been Working Doggedly.....
But, on the Christmas Card...?
"What Christmas Card...?"
