Crazy me... Did what I said I would not do and ripped down all xmas decor in one day... I guess it's a good thing that it is done and all stored away (except for one pile that needs to be bagged and shoved in a bin in the barn).  I slept like the dead last night, and Guy had to get up for PaPoo who wanted out.  (He sleeps in his underwear, and we got 4 inches of snow... Yeah, a bit brisk!)  I always get up for her, but I swear, I did not hear her though I dreamt that she was left outside... A bit of a restless sleep... My Mom has a new puppy!  A black lab who was hiding behind her dumpster though has been in the neighborhood for a while.  (Sounds like she is in a city when she is not--not as rural as I am however)  The local police have not had any reports, and a neighbor said he's been out roming for a while...  The new pup's name is Max (which I told her stands for Maxamillion because he was lucky to find her!)...  She already has plans to take him to the vet for fixing--he still has ballony breathe! (still a puppy)  Her dogs have put him in his place, and I think he's there to stay...  I told her it was good because her oldest black lab is old, and this was the Goddesses way of telling her to get ready... Tonight, I'm planning to go to bed early and read.  Last night, I got started on my seed order with Baker Creek--I'm up to $50 and have only gone through the first column on the Internet web site...  It's so much fun to plan for warmer days!  This time of year, it is really important for me to do the planning so I don't swallow myself up in the cold and dreary days of Ohio...
