Deer

There are packs of deer living like gypsy families in the woods near our house. They are getting less timid as the winter goes on. (photo taken with my iPhone and altered with PS Mobile and Camera Bag)

Sammie has arrived!

She is cute but a little nervous. Miles has been a good host and showed her around the house!

Back from our beach vacation

We had a great time with the entire family at J’s Mom’s beach house on Long Beach Island! I have more photos to post and some editing to do on them on but you can click over on flickr to check out what I have so far.

Kansas

We got back from a fun trip to Kansas earlier this week where we saw the extended family and Lawrence friends, ate lots of Lawrence food, and put together 2 and 1/2 puzzles. We didn’t take too many photos during the trip but we got a couple of the highlights. We are managed to leave Kansas without photos of lots of people including Gavin, JCB, Andrew (and his mom and grandmother), as well as DW (nr) & Cathy. We’ll get your picture next time!

I am always surprised by the horizon when I return to Kansas after a being away for a while. I miss the horizon and the open spaces when I am away from the prairie… One of the things that we missed while we were there was being able to watch a thunderstorm roll in to town. Zoe (who happened to be in town during our trip) was able to witness this AND get to hear tornado sirens while swimming in a pool!

On the road again

After a full day of festivities yesterday, we are heading to Kansas City this evening. Miles is heading to the Doggie Spa once again (his last trip for a while, we think).

While we are away, you can check out our random recent photos of various vegan foods we’ve been cooking and of the Dwell home we toured. If you are looking for non-vegan foods, check out this strange jello party.

Home for 36 hours

We’ve been home for 36 hours from Montana and Washington (the state) and now we are heading up to Baltimore and Washington (the D of C). In the meantime enjoy photos of these guys:

and their beautiful state…the full set is here. That little red dog is dangerous. One evening she ate a box of nails (mostly the box and not the nails) and then another morning she was caught carrying a bread knife around the yard in her teeth. By the way, Happy Birthday Danni!

1991

Ellen and I are cleaning the house today and finding all sorts of treasures to recycle or throw out. Part of my problem is I have a huge sentimental attachment to objects like these:

I went to the John Wesley Harding show with Shannon and Pete…on a weeknight in DC when I was 16! Back then DC was even sketchier than it is today. I made the mistake of giving a panhandler a lollipop which was promptly returned/thrown to/at me. The Chili Peppers show included Smashing Pumpkins and Pearl Jam as the openers! In other 1990s news, I was found at Camden Yards by a friend from from high school:

Luckily he doesn’t have any hard feelings about me–I once drove him into a clearance sign when he was standing on my bumper.

Everyone’s your friend in New York City

We went to New York for a quick weekend trip and met up with Valex. Alex captured more photos of the weekend (see his blog post and his flickr set) but I got a few pictures with this one below being my favorite.

Ellen and I actually thought about moving to New York for the briefest of moments. I quickly ended that fantasy after reading through the NYT real estate listings. We could actually afford to buy something…if we wanted to live in a studio in a not so popular part of town…for about $1000 a square foot! Miles was happy to see us when we got home and seemed to have a good time with the pet sitter.

Spring!

After the cold rain of Friday, it warmed up enough for a visit to Sarah P. Duke Gardens to see the flowering trees and daffodils.

We also wandered up from the gardens to campus where Miles pulled hard on his leash and scratched his long claws (he needs a trim) on the slate walkways as he tried to capture a squirrel. Duke really does feel and look like one of those perfect (maybe creepy?) colleges in the movies. It is clear where some of that $46,050 a year cost to attend Duke goes.
In other weekend news, I really am that Starbucks drinking, Volvo driving, NPR listening, liberal lemming…so I had to sign up for Showtime.

But I will get $25 to sign up so it isn’t all bad, is it?
