I thought this was a vacation

[altivo]

The good thing about today: had a nummy dinner with friends visiting. Gary made his famous spaghetti and meatballs, friends brought a super salad, we had home made focaccia with caramelized onions on top (my recipe,) wine and apple cider and some green tea someone brought that looks like a petrified moose turd but you put it in a glass pot and pour boiling water over it and it slowly opens up and blossoms into an elaborate floral sculpture underwater, made from tea leaves. Dessert too: Gary's chocolate chip zucchini cake.

And all the usual chores too, plus we replaced the boys' water trough because it was leaking. The bad thing: I'm getting farther behind because I'm being so careful writing.

So, for anyone who has been waiting patiently for more NaNo output from me (and there will be more, I promise) I offer a story written a couple of years ago, to fill in the gap:

Rabbit Food by Altivo Overo. This is furry and has a transformation in it, but no werewolves. ;p

Oh, and it got up to nearly 70F today I think, and the sky is still clear and there are stars for the first time in what seems like months.

Nice story - how not with rabbits? I had to look up Anglo-Saxon attitude. Haven't read Carroll in years :o)

Good to know I can inspire someone to actual research. ;p

Gee that food sounds good, somehow I think I'd embarass myself visiting you by indulging far too much in that lovely fare.

Mouse pie anyone?

Mr and Mrs Squeaks??!! You monster :D

Nah. Mr Squeaks passed away some time ago, I found him dried up, quite dessicated in fact, in the barn loft. The Mrs if she is still around is much too old for a succulent pie. I let our resident cat catch nice juicy young ones and bring them in... ;p
