Abby enjoying our newest acquisition, an old cedar chest. It's perfect for squirrel watching (only for the dogs and cats), napping (also limited to the pets), and for storing blankets and dog toys. Found at E&T's Collectibles in Drytown, which is where we found the icebox and card catalog, too. #JRT #jackrussellsofig #antiques #eldoradocounty #drytown #amadorcounty

D'oh! Thank you card tragedy. My gold paint pen barfed while I was adding the last couple of details. Oh well. Back to the (actual) drawing board. #artfail

Woo HOO!! A full case of Old Man Murrill Old Vine Zinfandel (or any case, really, but we scored one of the last of the 2012's, so... yeah) fits easily into the top of the #antiqueicebox! Now to do some measuring and find some modular wine racks to go in there. #eldorado #fairplay #oakstonewinery #obscuritycellars #oldvinezin

This icebox was a real find! It will have a new life as our wine cabinet now! Ironically, we found it in "Drytown." #sierrafoothills #amadorcounty #wine #antiques

New Year's Eve sunbathing. #JRT #jackrussell #jackrussellsofig #sundog #winter #sierrafoothills

I found something unexpected in the feral kitty's water dish today (and this was at 1pm!). #California #sierrafoothills #eldorado #brrrrr #iceicekitty

A few of the #mushrooms in our front yard (safely away from the dogs, but I'm still pulling them today). #eldorado #sierrafoothills #California

I was putting some of yesterday's purchases in our database and glanced up to see this. I realize I'm terminally Californian. #oakstonewinery #perrycreek #wine #fourseasonflipflops #eldorado #sierrafoothills

Ron and I dropped some cash at two small, local businesses today. Why? Because we care. ... Yeah, OK, they were wineries, the wine is amazing, and the views in El Dorado County are stunning, but hey, they were still small, local businesses! #buylocal #givehandmade #smallbusiness #eldorado #sierrafoothills

Ho ho ho! This is the extent of my holiday decorating since we have two cats, a Jerk Russell and a cow dog puppy. Next year, I think we'll get some lights up around the place. :)

I barely made a dent in the 2 cords delivered today, and I don't think much of it will be getting under cover before the storm system hits tomorrow afternoon. Next year, we order in June! #ruralliving #ruralworkout #rurallearningcurve #eldorado #sierrafoothills

New Muck Boots are here!!! And just in time for another deluge. It's sort of a workout just getting them on and off though. #muck #mud #winteriscoming #boots

It was a stunner tonight. #sierrafoothills #sunset #California #eldorado #hipstamatic

Back home and snuggling with my sweet girl, Abby. #JRT #ilovemydog #jackrussell #jackrussellsofig

We got right back to work today, hauling, unloading, and stacking #firewood. In the rain/mud. This should hold us over until our delivery next week (if the temps don't plummet). #fall #sierrafoothills #ruralworkout

My rainbow sacred heart is in some good company at @littlerelics today!
