It’s raining again, which is better than snow, but still is it ever going to stop? Mr. Cottage said it feels muted today.
That grey cast has wrapped around our little house and it feels like no matter how many lights we turn on, we can’t overpower the gloom.
It’s a good day for snuggling in the old patchwork quilt.
I was contemplating eating a second pudding cup.
Mr. Cottage said he wouldn’t judge me if I did.
Hope Y’all are well and had a good holiday.
Greetings from all the farm critters.
I fumbled around in the darkness, feeling for a flashlight. It’s 4:30 am, the power has gone out and it is twenty degrees outside. The dogs need to go out to the bathroom.

Heavy rain.
Grey skies.
All the little kitties and all the little doggies of Red Dirt are tucked into their beds.
I had planned to stop blogging for a bit. But here I am again.
Rambling about ordinary things.
An unexpected break in winter weather brought sunshine and milder temperatures.
The snow melted and is now just a cold memory.
