In which we have doodles in the snow

Last weekend saw a major snowfall for us--about 7 1/2 inches, which I realize is laughable to some of you, but it's a big deal for us. They haven't even cleared the parking places at Trader Joe's yet, THAT is how big a deal it is. Anyway, the we took the doodles out for a "winter funtime extravaganza" and this is the result--a shot of the pair of them looking furtive and a close-up of Deacon that ought to be captioned, "Oh, hai. I can has snow?"

Today is also the birthday of my very favorite woman in the world, my mother. The fact that I adore her is reason enough to mention her birthday here, but all of you have seen her work--she proofreads my manuscripts before they go out the door! Happy birthday, Mama!
