Nina gets restless. It builds and then boils over and she wants to play… Even if I’m working on a deadline. I can’t take myself too seriously around her; she has made me laugh more times in the past couple of weeks than I have laughed in a long time.
It’s a snow day today. The birds don’t seem to be thrilled, but they are doing what they can to scrounge food during the icy downpour. A hummingbird is sitting on a snowberry bush and flashing me like a red streetlight.
The juncos are the most common feeder bird right now, but there are warblers and sparrows as well.
It’s really starting to come down.
Meet our Mexican street dog. On January 3rd, she was still in Los Barriles, Mexico. Today, she was walking in the cold air of our Pacific NW winter. Her home town is at the far south end of the Baja peninsula. We should try to visit there and see if she has any kin we could recognize.
My wife and I have speculated that she may have been rounded up in a sweep of feral dogs.
However she ended up here, we have been lucky to have her. This dog is very sweet. She’s actually snoring softly in her little crate at the foot of our bed right now.
This little guy was hiding under the Barbecue yesterday. I just grabbed her by the tail and sent her out to the field. Since she didn’t run off right away, I got the camera and took her picture.
