new puppy and closet cleaning

The little puppy has come to stay with us for the weekend to see how all get along. A woman we know found this litter of puppies dumped in the middle of a rural road. She guesses the puppies are a lab/border collie mix. The one who is visiting us is a docile pup with a sweet and curious nature. It stressed Zaphod out a little at first. Now he is feeling a little more relaxed but he is extra needy. Forest took to her immediately and started calling her Molly. They hung out together all day in his room. Tonight James was playing his harmonica and she started howling along. Oh my goodness, it was so cute. I actually got a little video of it.



I cleaned out my closet and drawers today. Feels pretty great. I loaded up about a dozen brown shopping bags with clothes, hats and old purses for Goodwill. I tried to use that rule that if you haven't worn it in the last year, it had to go. I only broke the rule for vintage pieces. I kept a box of vintage dresses I have collected that no longer fit me. Maybe, just maybe, someday.



Going through my dresser drawers was like digging through archaeological layers. Some of the things I found date back 10 or so year! I threw so much stuff away but in keeping with the vintage allowance, I kept all my vintage headscarves. Vintage never goes out of style.
