Mystery Photo--Because I'm Done

Done with the holidays, that is. We've had Thanksgiving, Christmas, and my birthday. Time to end the celebrations and get on with the hard slog of unrelieved winter.

Doesn't THAT sound fun.

I don't count New Year's Eve as a holiday. Mostly because I think there's too much pressure on people to do something fun and then no one ever ends up having as much fun as they think they should be having. Boo to that.

So! Since the holidays are now over (for me) and I apparently have nothing of any real interest or excitement to share, let us delve into my unlabeled photo archives for a glimpse of the past. Because that's REALLY interesting and exciting.

Oh, it so is. Don't pretend.

What shall it be today?
It's a winter parade!

This photo is from December 12, 2008, when apparently A. was moving his flock from the upper pasture to the paddock by the house. Note Mia the Faithful Herding Dog bringing up the rear with an alert eye to any stragglers. And any stray bits of corn that might fall from the shepherd's bucket. She does love corn.

And with that small bit of random photography, I will leave you. Have a fabulous day, duckies!

I do! said...

Ha! This truly is exciting to me! For some reason I feel the exact same way about New Years Eve celebrations. Last year I camped. I have even re-considered wanting children, thinking that if I had them it would be a great excuse not to attend NYE gatherings for 17 or 18 years. :)

Our plan for New Years is actually a plan for New Years' Day - watching our own Wisconsin Badgers playing in the Rose Bowl!! Go Big Red!

Like you, I am an "early to bed, early to rise" kind of gal (and, although "healthy," does fit, I unfortunately seem to have forgotten the "wealthy and wise" part of that poem). Anyway, I'm with you on the not staying up late on New Year's eve part. Happy day after your birthday!
