Springtime in Wisconsin


I got up at 6 this morning to walk the dog. We were supposed to have 4-7 inches of snow overnight, but there was nothing but some freezing mist at 6. Suki very happily went on a protracted sniffing adventure all the way to the library and back. She finds that it takes several days to get caught up with the "Reedsburg Paper".

It did start to snow soon afterwards. Avinash was happy that he didn't have to scrape or brush his car off before he went to work.

I had a LONG snuggling session with Ned this morning. He always becomes extremely affectionate when Suki comes to visit. He rubbed his nose all over my face, licked my face, nibbled on my face, and did the same to my arm. Then he went and licked the computer monitor very tenderly as well. He is a very strange cat.

For breakfast, I had a sesame bagel (Suki accepted two bites) and two pieces of whole-wheat toast (Suki accepted four bites). Rowena was quite jealous of this hand-feeding but she certainly doesn't need carbohydrates.

Mail call today:
e-week magazine
paper survey to complete with $1 cash inside
money order for $13 for e-bay

Suki and I went for another walk a bit later and then we took a short drive to the post office to send my e-bay packages and books. Suki enjoyed the car trip, even though it was very short.

When we got back, Suki very firmly led me to the back yard, where she insisted on sitting on the snow, rolling in the snow, diving in the snow, and eating snow. I tied her out there and will go and rescue her from the cold in a little bit.
