Snow Day – Surprise!

This morning, the view from my bedroom window looked like this – but mama still had to go to work.  Really?  Work?  On a day like this? So as she was putting on clothes other than her dog-walking ones, we got a phone call.  SNOW DAY!!! And I know exactly how to do a snow…

Cold Night, Hot Soup

My newest fave soup… TURKEY.  Mama makes this for me with turkey, sweet potatoes, carrots, rutabaga, butternut squash, okra, and lentils.  YUM. Sekhmet is actually a quite helpful cat.  She keeps watch on the crockpot during the day, making sure that all is well.  She is the only cat I will allow to steal a…

My time will be…

Airedale Death Spiral

Saturday in the Snow

Rittenhouse Square Park.  Still snowy. EXCELLENT. I am quite enjoying this snow thing.  Sure it’s cold and all, but it does feel good on the toes (when there isn’t any of that nasty salt on the streets).  We did find a nice way around that salt – a liberal smush of Vaseline on my feet…
