Outdoor garden chores came to a grinding halt yesterday
Staying indoors gave me a chance to finish the cowl I've been knitting
and starting one in different colors.
By afternoon chore time, the rain had stopped and
Sam and I went out to tend to the animals.
Annie would have come with us if it weren't for the fact that she was under temporary house arrest.
Yes, this little girl went AWOL during morning chores and did not return home
until 6 ½ hours later...
soaking wet and with a look of contrition on her face.
I had hoped that maturity had cured her penchant for wanderlust.
She had not had an adventure like this since July 3rd.
Apparently I was wrong... Spring fever caught ahold of her.
Needless to say, the "good girl" collar will be her accessory of choice for the next few days.
You may wonder why Oakley did not accompany us.
It seems our old man only has the energy for one outing each day.
He comes out for morning chores and then spends the rest of the day camped out in the house.
He used to have unlimited energy...
but age has a way of slowing us down doesn't it?
We actually have no idea how old Oakley is, as we rescued him as an adult...
from unknown origins. (It was the best thing we ever did!)
We rescued him from a Kentucky shelter where he was
scheduled to be put down 2 days after we found him.
Lucky for him, instead, he was loaded on a transport vehicle and brought to Pennsylvania.
The rest is history.
The point is...we have no idea what his story is.
The best part of his life began the day we found him!
The wonderful thing about February is that it doesn't really matter what the weather is...
there is still plenty of time left for outdoor work.
A rainy day is a gift... a perfect excuse to stay indoors and play!
I am having a camera crisis right now.
For some odd reason, my go-to daily camera will not take a charge any more.
I have ordered a new battery...hoping that this will fix the situation.
I am so so dependent upon a camera!

I take pictures nearly every day too, and it is so hard to be without a camera, I agree!
Enjoy your rainy inside days!
Spring is back for one day..Snow tonight..Crazy!! I guess we just have to take it as it comes..Enjoy!
Annie does look a bit confused there.. I hope she stays put.
Poor old Oakley.. He looks like such a love. Very blessed to have you all these years..
You sure are talented, you know? How I wish I could knit like this..
Hope the new battery fixes the camera problem..
