Chappy’s going to have a rough week.

Power cleaning the building?

Painting?

Staining the decks? AKA his bathroom?

Ooooooh, boy.

I sense a lot of barking coming, and a lot of trips out the front door on a leash … with extra, bonus barking when WALKING out the front door for potty stops and seeing the men washing, painting, etcetera.

Of course, we humans who already miss the doggy door he had in our old house but are more than willing to open the deck doors for him, are going to miss access to the decks even more. Because, naturally, we can’t let him out there to go to the bathroom when they’ve just power-cleaned them. Or when they’re freshly painted and stained … especially while they’re still wet!

How about another look at that newly-spun brown yarn, huh? That’s 16 oz of merino from the Sheep Shed, bought at Rhinebeck two years ago.

The lighter picture is untouched by photo software, but is pretty much how it looks in direct sun. The darker picture I needed to tweak a bit, but is closer to what it looks like in normal, indoor light. It’s brown, very brown, but with the occasional hint of blue.

How brown?

I’m thinking the colorway should be named “Chappy.” I mean, so far as I know, the Sheep Shed doesn’t name their colors, but … could there really be a question?

And, oh yes, there was one other thing I did today–baked a lemon meringue pie!
