What are you up to?

Another snow day!

My poor little pup, Raphael, came leaping up onto the patio and into the house and up on the chair next to me. He kept shaking… he’s a mix of Dachshund, Jack Russel, and Chihuahua… none being cold weather dogs. He’s fine now… wrapped up in a blanket with just his head poking out.

I have an appointment with a doctor in about 2 1/2 hours so I went out to start shoveling the drive and digging the car out and found there is literally a foot of snow! It looks like I’ll be canceling that. Now I need to check to see it we actually have any food in the house for dinner.

Visit to the local farmer's market. It's a bit of a misnomer - not all that much farm produce, but pretty much anything and everything else:

Mini art gallery:

Yes, dogs are allowed:

Lots of beadwork:

Handmade wooden toys:

It may be that these two get along well. It also may be that they are simply worried about losing each other in the crowd:

Balloon animal guy on stilts:

And on the other end of the size scale, bonsai trees:

Great report!

So Brian… I gotta wonder what South African tacos are like?

Still more snow today. We actually had lightning and thunder with the sudden snow squalls of near white-out conditions. Gladly, I did all the shopping for the next 5 days or so and thus we won’t be going anywhere today, tomorrow, or Monday. I’m just sitting in my “library”… well, considering some 4000+ books and nearly as many CDs I guess there is no need for the quotes. I’m sitting in the library reading and listening to music. This afternoon, I’ll be making Chicken Paprikas… a classic Hungarian dish… although I learned how to make it from my mother whose parents were German/Austrian.

I’m also slowly working on expanding my Spotify playlist to include all or most of what I have on CD. I just populated a Vaughan Williams playlist.

I don't recall that I have ever actually had any. Well, maybe years ago, and as I recall, they were nice enough. I wouldn't know whether they are at all similar to Mexican ones.

I freeze up just looking at those photos, beautiful as the scenery is. Now a library full of books and Vaughan Williams I could live with.
