Another Maunder (Look THAT Up in Your OED!)

Progress is slow. I thought the Christmas Gingerbread Cookie Fairy was finished, but after taking some photos, I realize her wings need more work. Back to the old drawing board.

Another cloudy, rainy weekend. Worked on cleaning the garage yesterday. That stuff is mostly going to the Woods Humane Society's Twice Sold Tails thrift shop. Our friend Alice came over for dinner last night while her husband took a supply of blood bank products to Salinas (he works for our local Tri-Counties Blood Bank). Our first Community Supported Agriculture spring/summer season vegies arrived yesterday morning from Clark Valley Farm. I'm overnight pet-sitting with Lee's two toy poodles, Meg and Chloe. So far today I've been a bum. We had breakfast at Kitty's Restaurant with the Sunday New York Times and the local rag. When we got home I napped in my favorite wing chair with Spike O. Reilly on my lap. (Spike's our oldest cat.) Now I have one brief shot at the computer while my husband, Randy, has his afternoon caffeine-in-a-cup. Then back to the Fairy wings. So, today's blogger lesson is simply to publish a new post. I warned you that progress would be slow!

Oh yes! You might think of subscribing to the Oxford English Dictionary's on-line Word of the Day. It's great fun. Maunder, n.: idle, incoherent, or rambling talk or writing; an instance of this. OED says this word is now rare, but given the new age of blogging, perhaps "maunder" should be making a BIG come-back!
