The big snow came, as promised more or less. It was heavy, for a good while there; it was setting off the motion-detector light at our side door all evening yesterday. I'd say we go five or six inches of pretty heavy snow that I had to use the snow blower to remove. But by the time I got out to do this (not quite 11 am) it was already well above freezing and the snow was becoming much less snow. After the whole day spent above freezing the neighborhood's pretty clear and even our street is clear enough you'd think they plowed. This is probably the last big storm of the year and it's kind of amazing that it came and went with so little to show for itself.
I promised we'd get back to pictures. Here's pictures of Sunshine, because I don't know how many more we'll get to ever take.
A bounty! I do wonder if she figures she's really good at foraging because there's always a big heap of vegetables like this when she's ready for it. She does seem to understand there's a link between us opening the fridge door at certain times of day and vegetables being summoned, at least.
She's thinking over whether she really wants that kale. (She does.)
But she also seems disappointed there wasn't a carrot in this heap. She'll grab one out of the vegetables and run off somewhere to eat it safely if there is.
Sniff! She's curious why I'm poking my camera under the coffee table at her.
She just looks like she's decided to accept this but keep one eye on me. (It's her bad eye.)
She's still keeping that bad eye on me, though.
Trivia: Pencils made by John Thoreau --- father of Henry David Thoreau --- were of high enough quality to earn special notice at an 1824 exhibition of the Massachusetts Agricultural Society. The New England Farmer reported that ``the Lead Pencils exhibited by J Thorough [sic] and Co were superiour to any specimens exhibited in past years''.
