Hi! It's a cold Saturday morning in Ashaway RI. Neither our Basenjis nor I enjoy the cold but the Basenjis are stoic. I am not.

Snow tonight. Perhaps 3".

As the sun rose, minutes ago, the sky was red. Red sky in the morning...

If snow does accumulate here tonight the Basenjis will be delighted.

It's Saturday. I've been catching up on house cleaning and time with our Basenjis. The girls are in heat and the boys are restless. Understandable.

How are you doing?

Hi! I'm slowly learning how to navigate on my new $150 Acer laptop. I haven't recovered my files since I broke my home computer the day before the election. Give me time to get oriented to the changes.
