Raggedy Pote

Since Daria is away, I'm showing the blog a little love!

Way back before we had kids, we had a rather nomadic lifestyle, traveling all over the place. Oftentimes I'd have to leave weeks at a time and would miss Daria sooooo much, so we would find creative ways to be together. Well, most have heard the story about Raggedy Ann and Andy--the "raggedy" and the "andy" has always fit well on my part--but Raggedy Daria quickly made her appearance. Over the years, our nicknames evolved for each other until we officially became Pie & Pote (short for compote, if you must know). Naturally, our two dolls became Raggedy Pie & Raggedy Pote! Anytime we had to be apart, then our raggedy partners would accompany us (usually sneakily stowed away into the suitcase for the person leaving or under the covers for the person staying home)!

Since Daria headed out to California last week, I found Raggedy Pote hiding under the covers at home (and, of course, Raggedy Pie was traveling west too!). Summer and Baxter miss mom sooo much, and you can see below that Summer fell asleep with Raggedy Mommy wrapped snuggily in her arms!

Sometimes the snow doesn't quite happen...the other day we first got freezing rain, which ends up enveloping all the vegetation in a beautiful icy casing, and then we got a few flakes to dust everything!
