Friday night lights

Setting sun lighting the tree tops.

Alpenglow through the woods.

A fire in the woodstove.

Bear keeping watch to the North.

Auggie in his “cat cave” on a chair under the kitchen table.

Of note this week: Bear and Auggie both had vet appointments for routine checkups. Bear for his “senior” 6 month check, Auggie for his “kitten” 6 month check and to get microchipped. All was well with both – YEA! Auggie is 8.5 pounds and pronounced to be in stellar condition. Bear was said to be “in the best health of any older dog I see” – Dr. Clark’s words. I’m thrilled to have good reports for both and hopeful for a good and healthy 2014 for all of us.

Onward!!!

Sunshine and terror in the bathroom sink

It has been gray with freezing fog and the occasional sun break, but today was mostly sunny after starting with snow flurries that left less than half an inch of new snow.

It might not look like it to the east…

But overhead and to the west, blue sky!

Auggie hunted critters in the snow…

…and the Auggie-shark lied in wait to scare the unsuspecting intending to brush their teeth!

Auggie and the chair

Auggie.

The chair.

The chair near Beardog Point.

Will I have to share the chair near Beardog Point with Auggie???

Oh, boy.

Auggie and the chair.

Friday morning moon set

This morning, Bear and I headed down the road home at 8:10 a.m. to catch moon set.

My moon phase app said 8:40 for moon set.

We went prepared: water and treats for Bear, coffee for me.

Beautiful.

To the West.
