Moments from Monday

Does Auggie make Bear itch??? …maybe not allergy-wise, but maybe general irritation-wise (that BABY!!) :) !!

The lunch time walk scenery…hazy, but not foggy. There was some brief, morning fog, but it dissipated quickly.

Another view along the same road as the prior photo…from my parking spot for the walk, looking East. The middle of the valley WAS hazy but the fringes were clear.

Bear keeping an eye on the ever roving Auggie-boy…

Auggie, the hunter, in one of the critter-condo areas. This spot, just north of the house.

Moments from Monday.

Tuesday bits

It was 50F this afternoon.

The sun was in and out.

The snow is gone…mostly.

It is forecast to start getting cold, but with no precipitation, i.e. cold and clear.

The light is spectacular.

The light(s) of my life.

Tuesday bits.

Clouds and other good things

Bear and I took a late morning run to town for dog and cat food!

The clouds…

The clouds and sliver of lake…

And the breakthrough sun on the golden larch pine trees!

Beautiful.

Other good things…

A full jar of Linda’s (Savoring Every Bite) Pumpkin Ginger Biscotti.

I’ve made these twice. They are subtly spiced and include pecans…perfect Fall biscotti.

Bits of snow have come and gone.

It has been cold.

It has been damp.

It has been cold and damp.

This time of year, the cold and damp feel colder than the dry cold of deep winter.

A fire in the woodstove.

Clouds, biscotti, woodstove fire: good things.

Friday

A mixed bag of a Friday… an Auggie vet appt mid afternoon, so got an early start, but distractions and then it was time to go!

Auggie is not liking the Jeep trips as yet so a rather loud to and fro and I HATE that he was uncomfortable.

But, at the clinic, he was quiet and calm. He now weighs 6.2 pounds vs 3.9 pounds 4 1/2 weeks ago. Everything good except for some gum redness – hopefully just from emerging “adult” teeth. We keep an eye on it for a month.

These first things…after losing a beloved – hard to keep in proportion.

We got home later than I thought we would, so short on work time.

Bear was needing attention.

Auggie was needing attention.

A squirrel helped give Bear something to do.

And Auggie was watching Bear dealing with the squirrel.

I had a glass of wine and watched the setting sun turn the tree tops gold against a brilliant blue sky.

Friday.
