Day 252: It's been a while since I posted a portrait of Merry, and he was in a mood to pose today even though I had to use a fairly long exposure. He owns the world, and knows it. In this case, he had taken possession of my desk chair, and I knew better than to try to reclaim it by any direct means. Instead, I decoyed him by saying, "I'm going in the back room. You wanta come help me weave?" That was all it took. He ran to the Loom Room door, and as soon as I opened it, he hopped straight into his little weaver's box and settled in for a nap. Y'see, there's one important thing here: he doesn't like to let me out of his sight. When I work in the kitchen, he either sits on my chair at the dining table or curls up on a shelf in a box specifically designated for his use. He's gotten much better about leaving all of Mama's fascinating strings alone, and even let me warp a rigid heddle loom without offering his not-so-welcome assistance. Such a sweetheart he is!
