New barn kitty

This is Bailey, Stephanie's new mouser for the barn. She's so tiny, she hardly looks able to tackle a mouse, so she seems to be spending a lot of time in the house, where Stephanie's afraid she's getting very spoiled.

Everyone here was sick this week with a cold or the flu. I started a new knitting project--a hot water bottle cozy, with some leftover cotton yarn. I hate lying around when sick, so I worked on that and started another tote bag, made a pot of chicken noodle soup, and drank tons of tea.
