When I packaged the wraps to mail to R & R, I used my last two baby wrap bags. My strong preference is to make more right away, ‘cuz the last thing I want to happen is for me to have wraps ready to go and have to stop then and make bags.<\/p>\n

I went to my stash of pillowcases, grabbed several, and tossed them in the washer and dryer. When they came out I set up my sewing machine and got to work. For jobs like this, I make a mess while I work and clean it all up at the end. So I simply tossed the pieces of fabric I didn’t need on the floor.<\/p>\n

Jack, who loves fabric and soft things, was happy ‘stealing’ the pieces. <\/p>\n

He chose each piece carefully, sorting through them to find the perfect one to drag into the other room. But he was fair. He left me Fishy, his favorite toy.<\/p>\n

Sticking with Jack, after I removed the bottom half<\/a> of the dog house door, I knew I needed to do something to keep the rain out of the house and off the cushy bed that’s in there. So I got some heavy duty plastic, cut it to size, and taped it on. I chose the day that Baxter, my grand-dog, came to visit, figuring that having someone else use the house might make it more tempting to Jack.<\/p>\n

\"Baxter<\/a> <\/p>\n

Baxter had no hesitancy going in after the treat, but he came right back out. Ditto Jack.<\/p>\n

As long as we’re outside, here are some more nature shots. The day after I mowed the lawn here’s what popped up. In November!<\/p>\n

\"November<\/a><\/p>\n

That little maple tree<\/a> with the pink variegated leaves has turned a beautiful bright orange. <\/p>\n

Finally, my oakleaf hydrangea went from a nice bronze to bright red.<\/p>\n
