Crochet Me Crazy

Busy day today...It's 10:30 pm and this is the first time I've touched my computer all day! Even though it's really past my bed time, I'm just now sitting down at the computer. Little Grace is here beside me on her blanket resting peacefully. She is such a little sweetie. She is still doing good. We've let her walk around on her leg today. She gets around slowly and lays down when she gets tired. Then she'll get up when she's ready. We are still bringing her in at night. I don't think we'll feel good about leaving her outside until she is healed. It's a lot of work...I do a whole lots of sweeping and vacuming and washing! I have to wash her towels and blankets every day. At least I have a washing machine now here in my house. I do have to take the blanket up to the barn to wash because my washer isn't big enough. Oh well, if she makes it she'll probably go away and be a deer but people tell us she will come back and probably bring her babies here where she knows they'll be safe. We were talking to a guy tonight that was telling us they had a pet deer that they took everywhere with them. He said they used to take it on their boat with them. He was a buck though and when he grew up he got aggressive and left. He would come back and look at them sometimes. I'm glad Grace is a doe.

Alison and I drove to town today for groceries. I had to go to a couple of Farm Stores looking for the horse feed we use out here and some other errands. We had to hurry and get back for Alison to get to dance. Long classes all week this week. I took her to dance and Jeff came into town and we went to an open house at our boss's antique store. We hung around there and then went to eat chili at their house. The weather is cold, cold, cold! Just way to cold for me...Jeff has learned how to get a really hot fire going in the wood stove. We NEED the wood stove on night's like tonight. If it wasn't for that thing, I'd be freezing to death. We got up this morning to the frozen world outside.

I know it's not snow but this is Texas! I'm not snow person. The coldest morning since we've been here. We went around busting all of the ice off the troughs so the animals could drink. It's supposed to be another cold one tonight. Thank God for Long John's!

Oh, and remember the sock bun I told you I was going to try out on the girls? Well, it worked! Unfortunately, it rained the next day so even by the time I got around to taking this picture, the curls had relaxed a bit...




Alison edited this photo of Grace but she really is wearing the reindeer antlers!

Good night! I'm going to go climb under my electric blanket and go to sleep!
