weather tease

Loki in the new bed

Sun is out, icicles are melting, roots are popping out from beneath snow banks in spots around the house. We're supposed to reach fifty degrees today. It's a tease, since anyone who's lived in New England for any length of time knows that a thaw like this in February means little. Except we all get to let down a little, strip a layer or three, bask in the warmth of the sun.

Odin in the old bed

Loki has started to sleep and rest in the new bagel bed that I got last week. It's a miniature version on the bed that Beate had for years; the original went with Beate and so the void left included not only the missing dog but also the missing bed.
We're all adjusting at the Salty Ewe to the change in rhythm and the shift in balance. We adapt, we accept and we soak in the warmth of the winter sun, appreciating each day - the closer and closer we get to spring.
