MOM'S LITTLE HELPER

Most of you know we live in a farmhouse
that was built in the late 1800's.
It has suffered several remodels,
one during the 1950's
when cork floors were put in the living-room,
and again in the 1970's

when the ugliest carpet imaginable was installed.

One day, Mom decided to remove the carpet
and uncover the cork floor
which is in fairly good condition,
at least when compared to that yucky carpet.

Today she mopped it
and wanted it to dry faster
so she decided to put out a fan.
And Lilly decided to help it dry.
BOL!!

XOXO
Lilly, Piper, Carrleigh and Java

Hello waggin' tales, (tails) :)

Lily is such a good helper for Mom. Keep up the good work!

I bet you could all "help" mop too!! If mom put down a big tray of soapy water & you guys ran though it, then ran around the room, your furs would be like a mop! Never seen a cork floor before - like you you said the house had "suffered" remodels!!

Such a great helper!

Mom thinks it's the most wonderful that you live in an old farm house. She must enjoy fixing it up.

What a sweetie...Macbeth runs at the first scent of cleaning supplies. Guilty conscience perhaps?!

Sue said...

Dogs are such good helpers, aren't they? Morgan likes to help me wash windows. She comes right along behind me and licks them dry.

Hollie and Janie said...

Sally said...

Oh dear - if you help out with the floors - she may get you to dust, fold sheets, clean out the fridge - oh wait - that last one is the chore we like to help with...

We like the idea of cork floors - we have tiles - and Paddy slips and slides...

Lots of licks
Sally

Lallee said...

LOL They never miss a good opportunity ;-) Your home must be snug warm for her to sit in front of a fan. Cute pic! Loved the video in the previous post too. Neither of mine know how to sit up.

Nice work! I have never seen a cork floor. Is there wine below? If so I am redoing this house! :)

Sweet Cottage Dreams said...

Lynn, cork floors are suppose to be the rage in "green decorating" and impervious to wear. I think you struck gold there!

hugs,
