Marble Grinch

Pre-dawn

Sasha: “Marble looks scary like a Grinch!”

Marble: “Ill sicko pathetic, poo-brained paparazzo is bothering me again!”

“Say your prayers pathetic, poopy, pee-brained paparazzo, and prepare to die!”

If you kill il paparazzo, who will feed you?

“Hmmm? Aah! Good point. Ill paparazzo squeaked by by the old gray hair on his chinny-chin-chin this time!”

“Watch your back, PAPARAZZO!”

Loki: “You’re a mean one Marble Grinch!”

Dèjá Poo

Dusk

Loki: “Well, guys! It’s looking like dèjá pathetic paparazzo poo all over again!” Marble: “Yeah! Another SNAFU by that sorry sack of socially challenged, senile sheep sheddings!” Silver: “I can’t bear to look!”

Marble: “Dibs! I got it first this time, Loki. Back off!”

Loki: “Dang! I’m getting as slow as that suffering sack of senile soap suds snaping the shutter!”

Dawning on December

The last month of the year commences, and the temperatures have dropped. It was 13ºF (-10.6ºC) this morning. Jake went out and frosted is peeshooter.

What’s that old adage, “Red sky at morning shepherds take warning”?

We had light snow most of the day. Jake and I went for a long walk in the snow this afternoon. Jake loves the cold and wet.

We visited the cranes

The Tangle Heart Tree and fellow cottonwoods

“Are you going to eat that cheez, Glenda?” “Not with you staring at it like a crazed cheezhead, Sasha!”

You can sort of see the snow falling.

Where’d the Sandias go?

Late breaking news. The neighbor’s tree is on fire once again. The snow is bowing the tree’s branches into the powerline. Fortunately, it’s the highline, so there is less chance of it causing a power outage.

Looks a little like Christmas.

Only one fire crew is left watching the fire. The other firemen had to respond to more fires. Wet conditions should keep the fire from spreading further into the tree. The firemen will not attempt to extinguish the fire because they could be electrocuted.

Jake Gate

My Saturday morning project was to install a post and fencing for a Jake Gate to keep Jake from wandering down the road when we want to leave him outside roaming around the property.
