Our tree is so big now

 

Our squirrel hanging onto and eating off of the suet cake

 

In the bed, talking to my cousin on the phone

 

Robert carrying Alice

 

Alice rubbing her head against me while I meditate

 

A man with a fancy moustache

 

In real life and in my mind

Imagined dog teeth 

and

Alice with her hackles up

 

First thing in the morning Nigel stretches with me

 

The guy w/ sharp sunglasses who waited for Nigel & I to get out of the way on the icy sidewalk

 

Grey street, white snow, pink sky

 

So many nice customers today

Clockwise from upper left: 

Nice lady who gave great directions

Sweet-smile lady who got a side of vinegar and made to text me the code I forgot to ask for

Young woman with a hard-to-find house but was super sweet about it

Nice dude with a prosthetic arm who worried about me driving in the snow

 

A Dark-eyed Junco kicking up seeds with her feet

(why?)

 

This female cardinal was so pretty

 

The heat went out in our building

 

Earl throwing down salt and Nigel chasing it

 

My friend's cat, Moira Rose, bundled up and watching

 

Alice did a little jig when I asked her if she wanted supper

 

Cold people walking

 

The tow truck driver slipped on some ice (He didn't fall.)

 

Big Dog who showed up on my porch

 

Alice quickly puts herself to bed when I ask her if she wants to walk with us

(hell no!)

 

Too cold for a walk

 

Nigel and me walking down the middle of the snowy street

 

A female downy woodpecker on the suet

 

Little Alice curled up like a croissant by me on the bed

 

Leonard starting to play

He has only three legs and only one good eye

 

The beautiful light in Joanna and Tamas' upstairs

 

The bare crabapple through the bedroom window and the glass front door

 

Nigel on my chest WILLING me to get off the phone and take him for a walk

 

The front yard, typical but for the light powdered sugar dusting of snow

 

oh squirrel digging under the bird feeder

 

Walking the dogs as it starts to snow

 

A couple of big, beautiful bulldogs came running up to the door at a house I was delivering to

 

Alice's ears blown open by the wind

 

A delivery to a mansion with a doorbell shaped like a lion and its customer in bare feet

 

The two dogs wondering and waiting for me on the stoop - it was cold.

 

A big funky sweet potato and some broccoli

 

Troubled today

 

Two little kids looking at the lake

 

Trying to think of something to draw

 

At Joanna and Tamas'

  Pablo - and - A perfect espresso in a beautiful cup

Cloudy day, birds ascending

 

Nigel abandoning his game of fetch to smell something interesting

 

Nigel with a chew stick

 

Nigel and Alice greeting me

Nigel holds a mini tennis ball and goes in circles.  Alice smiles and wags.

 

Full moon behind some clouds

 

Nigel and me running together

 

Nigel & Alice gained weight while I was gone

 

The little girl who sat next to me on the plane getting blown by the wind

Chana's bunny
