As usual, Charlie is focused intensely on D.
My shutter speed is no match for a border collie puppy, in the snow, from a distance.
He truly is a lunatic. But we were expecting that.
I don't know why this makes me think of The Little Match Girl. If the Little Match Girl had a dog named Crazy-Eyes.
This was one of the nicest days I can remember. D is off work today, tomorrow and Friday. I got up and made breakfast for everyone and lunch for R., and then he drove to school in the snow. I went back to sleep, in our big white bed with the snow falling all around. Then he took me out to lunch here. We had just enough time to walk through downtown Littleton in the snow. We went to this spice shop and this one , and bought lemongrass green curry powder, Vietnamese cinnamon, a "cake mix" blend with anise in it, and some amazing red Turkish Aleppo chile. It smells and tastes like an ancho chile, but fruitier, more vinegar-y and rich. Then we picked R up at school and came home and played in the snow. Of course the day ends with the usual dinner dishes and homework and ironing her dress uniform shirt for Mass tomorrow. We played Scarlatti during dinner and left it on all evening. Maybe that's why it still seems so much better than a regular Wednesday night.
