Speaking of stayin in

My rosemary recently had to move into the house so she would survive the winter. This has increased the number of rosemary flavored meals served here inestimably. Yum.

Stayin' in

I wish I could say that we stayed in all day, but today was the next best thing. We walked the dogs, shoveled the walk, went to work for a half day, came home, shoveled the driveway to get the car parked, walked the dogs again, bought gas and groceries, shoveled the walk again, and then gazed out the window...

...lazily making hash browns for dinner and starting a new read aloud.

As I write Linton has gone outside again to shovel the drive. My hero.

Quels dommages!

At least none of them pooped in the house!

Reminisce

Last night Linton and I got out our old correspondences, and read aloud to each other. It was so romantic. We were long distance for almost three years, so there is a lot of letters there. I was reminded of how much we used to miss the bejesus out of one another, and now we don't have to anymore.

Roller Derby

More roller derby this week. The Denver Roller Dolls, what a hoot!



It was a really competitive bout with some great tumbles. Those ladies are tough as nails.

In good news

Zeus was billed as a high strung dog, and he is. In good news: 30 minutes of dog park a day and he is as chill as the rest of them.

Dog sitting

This is a three dog house for another week. We are vacuuming every other day, sigh.

Panorama

This morning

Breakfast and fall leaves.

One last peach hurrah

We got one more load of Colorado peaches and made another batch of jam. You know, to see us through the long hard winter.

Henry really is a lap dog.

See?

What is this bug?

It was in the house and when I tried to put a jar over it it leaped. I resorted to a bowl. What is it?

Knit-along

My stitch and bitch group, The Boulder Knitting Collective, is doing a knit-along. Everyone in the group knits one of the same pattern for themselves. Ours is the Mondo Cable Cardi, and today I bought the yarn for mine.

October 9, 2009

Last Friday... a pitcher of PBR and three of us knitting at the local dive.



What fun.

The snow has already melted

The snow has already melted and I'm only just posting that it snowed at all... what a lazy cow!

Henry swims!

When we first got Henry he wouldn't even dip a toe into water. After a long time coaxing(read Linton walks into a stream with Henry on the other end of the leash)he got the idea that water was okay. So all summer we take him to a park with a dog pond. At first Henry just stood in the water up to his ankles barking at the swimming dogs(because he's brilliant like that). Slowly but surely all summer long he got a little more bold until finally two weeks ago he swam. I didn't have my camera to document it then (I know you all would have been crushed to miss out on more Henry pictures) so we went back this weekend to stage the swim again.

Isn't that filthy thing exactly what would coax you into swimming?








Hopefully most of you have stopped reading this silly post by now. Because this is the part where I admit that when he first started paddling I was at the edge of the water jumping up and down and yelling, "That's my dog! He's swimming!! He's swimming! He's swimming! He's swimming! He's swimming!" At full volume. Isn't Linton a lucky guy??

Autumn walk

Autumn is my favorite season. I mean really: just look at that color.
