There has been lots going on around here, weekend trips and various projects.   One thing that is finally happening is some repair work to the pool. I cannot believe it is not covered yet – wonder if we will be ice skating on it?

Anyway, can you see who else can’t believe the pool is still open? My bird watching friend Peggy tells me that that is a red-tailed hawk. It was thrilling to see him perched there until I realized that he is a bird of prey and I have some four legged prey around here. Poe is probably on the large size for the hawk, but not so large that he wouldn’t give it a try! So I have been keeping an eye on the sky for hawks that have a taste for pugs!

I have updated my Raverly projects page with knitting. And I have also created a slide show for you to see some pics from our recent trip to Parents’ Weekend. We spent last weekend upstate visiting D#2 who is a freshman. She is loving college life!

This picture was taken standing in the foyer looking into the bedroom hallway of the house.

What I want to show you is the piece hanging there above the bookcase. I don’t even know what to call it. Maybe wooden scary thing?

I bought it years ago at a local art show – the two figures in it are balanced and when nudged, they rock back and forth. It actually took a wee bit of timing to get them both popping their heads out at the same time for the picture below.

I was supposed to be doing some Christmas shopping when I saw it.  I fell in love  instantly and broke my piggy bank to buy it.  I also called Mr. Boar and brokered a deal where it was a Christmas/birthday combo present.

I like to hear what other people have to say about wooden scary thing – most don’t like it at all (it’s too dark, it’s too creepy, it’s too big) or if they do, they don’t feel as passionately about it as I do – except one.  And I’m sure you can guess who it is!
