Around Home this Week

As much fun as the snow is, we do find ourselves inside a bit more on the chilly winter evenings.

Miles' cat sneaks in the house on a daily basis and if she isn't immediately caught and booted back outside, you will find her snoozing on the couch.

Celene set up this photo...her hamster Hammie is gathering a reputation of biting her human handlers. Consequently she has earned herself several new nicknames, namely, Queen Nasty and Bloody Mary. Celene set this photo up hoping to show that Hammie is innocent of these claims.

Hammie latest nicknames, both earned due to her human biting endeavors.

As you can see, Theo is not afraid of Hammie and quite willing to take the risk of being bitten.

While we are on the subject of rodents, Miles trapped and killed this possum who was stealing our chicken eggs.

On chilly winter evenings, you can usually find Hannah and Celene crocheting in a cozy corner.

And Theo, who can't quite keep up with everyone else, falls asleep somewhere.
