Big doings in the Schools’ household. Meet Rover, the newest
member of Clan Schools. Rover, formally known as Opal, is a year and a half
old, male bearded dragon. He probably has some issues with being called Opal
for the past year and a half. As with our other bearded dragons, Molly named
him.

Rover was not totally an impulse. I have been wanting to get
another bearded dragon since Sparky passed away. Then we saw a video of a bearded dragon
and a corgi playing tug-of-war with a toy. The corgi pretty much threw the
beardy around, but the beardy wouldn’t let go. If the corgi dropped the toy the
beardy would run over and grab it, challenging the corgi. Highly amusing. So,
we walked into Pruess Pets empty handed and walked out with Rover. While the
decision wasn’t a total impulse, it doesn’t hurt that Zoobie’s Old Town Bar is
right by Pruess Pets. For complete disclosure, yes, we did hit Zoobie’s first.
We’ve been staying busy. Lise’s business has picked up a bit
and I’ve been spending time in the workshop. I call it the workshop, Lise calls
it the garage. She makes me share it with the cars. My last project was a cheese board/serving
tray made with scraps from Lise’s dulcimer stand and the temple swings I’m
working on. Black walnut, cherry, and white ash.
Cheese boardserving tray. Whatever, it was fun to make.
Saw a harbinger of winter today. Our first junco of the
season was at the bird feeders, meaning gin and tonic season is fading into the
dreary Mid-Michigan winter. Loud sigh!
