Racing With Christmas

Has it really been a week since I posted?  It's not because I've not thought about it.  It's finding that spare time that as we all know tends to be a bit elusive this time of year.  However, despite the pressure of the race with Christmas, I'm closing in on it. Or maybe Christmas is closing in on me, I'm not quite which it is. What I've not done is any baking whatsoever.  I'm hoping I can at least get it started this weekend before company arrives on Sunday afternoon.  Hopefully I'll be sending out the last of the packages on Monday.

The dogs have no idea what the fuss is all about. Although they are curious about the tree that took up residence in our garage on Friday. We've never had a "live" tree with several of them before, so we'll see how they do. We'll also see how our foster kitten "Flurry" does with the appearance of what will no doubt seem to him as a fun playground.

Away from all the Christmas rush, there's been work, and a discussion with the rescue about Bella.  My contact on the Board of Directors called me, and we discussed their decision about Bella.  We all agree that she has "special needs" and will require a certain type of home.  Given this, they (still) feel that an attempt at finding her a forever home should be made.  It's a decision that I understand, respect, and I support.  So, after the holidays, I'll do a write up for Bella for the rescue's website, and a search will begin.  

Until then, it's full speed ahead with the holidays!  Earlier in the week we had warm weather and soaking rain.

Today began with cold blustery wind and temperatures below freezing, that's supposed to hang on through the weekend.  So, keeping moving is the best way to keep warm!
