Weekend notes

This past weekend we started measuring out the backyard fence my husband plans to build, and inserting some preliminary stakes. Although the six foot fence we are planning will obscure some of the beautiful view we have now, it will also give us more privacy from those driving by along the main road. It will also be a big treat to let the dogs run freely in the back without having to get them on a leash and stand out in the cold with them. We don't let them out without a leash because the road out front can be very busy.

Last night, after a haystack supper, I rolled out the dough for gingerbread men. My husband was in charge of putting the raisins on as eyes.




He was also in charge of protecting them from the dogs while I put new batches in the oven. Our pets found the smell irresistible, and so did we! Thank you to stitchnchick at SimpleFolk for the recipe. Our house agrees- it's a winner.

Those cookies look good!: )

Did he have fun putting on the eyes?: )

Love,
