It’s always a little amazing to me what goes on in this house throughout a week. I can see why Mamaw is so tired…she moves constantly. I like to follow her around cause I never know what she’s gonna do next—but I NEED TO KNOW. She eventually gets irritated with that and makes my lay down.

This spring thing really has me buffaloed. We’ve had snow for 2 days now! When I go outside to “do my thing” I have to wait and have my feet dried off. I am so tired of it! I want the sunshine, the walks on the trail, chasin the birds, eatin the deer droppings…oh, I should not have tole you about that! Mamaw is ashamed of me for that. Now when she lets me out, she holds my leash tight so I can’t get to that part of the yard.

We had Dallas in to play for a while. Now—I really like the guy; but not when he’s tryin to ride me. And on top of that, he got hold of Big Red and managed to pull some of his hair out. I can’t leave that boy unattended for a moment but he’s into trouble. It was fun to play with him for a little while though…I get lonely. We don’t have people runnin in and out of here every day so when somebody comes it’s a real treat.

I’m layin in front of the big sliding doors in the basement and I saw a big, fat red robin. I started to make my little sounds and Mamaw turned to look at me and said, “Miss Scarlett, where is that tail runnin off to”?

The basement is full of plants Mamaw had to bring in in the fall and this week Poppy and me took her down to Ted Lare Nursery and she bought a whole bunch of pots at 75% off. We could hardly get all 3 of us in Lil Red along with all the pots. She’s happy now—waitin for the weather to break so we can start plantin stuff. Soon as we’re past frost, she’ll put em all outside on the under-deck she loves so much.

I was delighted I got to go on this little drive too! In the winter I don’t get a lots of them either. The minute “car” or “ride” passes somebody’s mouth, I’m started to get excited. Mamaw promised we’ll get Lil Red out more when the weather gets really nice and we’ll open that big bonnet and ride, ride, ride.

Can’t wait…
