~Don’t miss the tiny giveaway at the bottom of this link~
It snowed on Saturday, I think it was. During the night. And when the puppies got up at six, as they almost always do, they raced down the stairs (which always scares me), threw themselves on the bells hanging from the doorknob, and then danced until G got the storm door open for them. They tumbled outside into the alcove and were just on the point of leaping onto the deck when they noticed the three inch deep blanket of snow. G says he smelled rubber on the road when they put on the brakes, staring at the stuff and wondering what the devil had happened to the world.
I took these later, after the first shock and subsequent exploration and delight had worn off a bit. I was not in a position, at six o’clock, tucked into my warm bed, to be out in the snow barefoot with the camera ready.
As I was following them around, waiting for something cute to happen, Toby – at G’s feet in the front yard – suddenly took a literal nose dive (you know, the way fishing birds just suddenly drop beak first into the water?) into the snow. This is how he came up.
Skye. I have so many shots like this. Some, you’d think he was a sheep.
Tuckered out.
Just corners of the house. The light is so low with the lowering clouds outside, but the color is so delicate –
Chaz, putting up the inside lights.
G, fixing the dining room light. We did not switch operating systems on it; it just quit all on its own.
Puppy in the jail.
Puppy in the privileged side of the jail. Ya think we over-do the toys?
And another first:
Chaz with her first college Visiting Lecturer stipend. Yeah, she was made for this. She really gives a great lecture. That’s why they pay her the Big Bucks.
