I took a snow day

 

Watching the snow very lightly fall

 

Nice lady giving me a ten dollar tip

It was mostly coins. "It's all I had in my purse," she said.

 

Nigel bristling with energy about something outside the window

 

Pablo celebrating my arrival (plus, a voice from the other room)

 

Lisa spinning Nigel in circles

 

Some leaves

 

Nigel and Alice looking up at me like two perfect angels

 

Nice dog, Jedi, with young buck in background

 

Alice making friends

 

An elf handing me an order

 

Impromptu afternoon nap with Alice

 

A birthday dinner, a rainy night, a nice lady in red lipstick

 

I put treats for Nigel to find at the base of a hollow tree

 

A heron, maybe

 

Young woman in Kroger's who smiled when I complimented her jacket

 

Everyone stepped aside for the woman mopping up at Popeye's.

 

Squirrels chasing each other around a tree

 

It was a two beagle day

 On the left: Pablo is imploring me to share a shrimp chip and on the right: Bella is saying hello with her whole body

Many geese on the lake

 

Starlings congregating in an old dead tree

 

The ripples on the lake

 

Nigel with a chew stick

 

A man talking to his dog

 

Some geese on the lake

 

Nigel catching the ball

 

Chana with her hair in a towel, shaking a bottle of something in each of her hands

 

Squirrel plummeting from one tree to another

 

My friend who works at the car wash, in her aviators

 

Nigel catching a treat

It bounced off his mouth, into the air, and back into his mouth again
