A Beautiful Day or Two

First, let's start with the sweet doggie pic. Here's Pepper a few days shy of her six month birthday. Her nose is off center in the picture, so we figure she was sniffing the camera.

We've had a few balmy days here in Fort Wayne, Indiana. After days of single digit temperatures, it was a welcome relief to not count the air as my enemy. 

 We walked Pepper together over to Starbucks for a mini date Monday (with each other, not Pepper). 

Pepper's first Starbucks

Scott went in to get our drinks while Pepper and I waited outside. The server, or I guess I should say, barista, noticed Pepper and sent out a glass of water for her.

Our walk back home on a lovely day

My definition of a beautiful day would usually be sunny and around eighty degrees. But there's nothing like a two degree morning or two to lower one's standards. Grey, overcast, with a temperature of forty-five or higher is now lovely, and anything over fifty is beautiful. Yesterday's sixty-three was stunning. Don't mind the fog or rain. 

We're back to winter today. It's seventeen or so with a wind chill factor that drags it down to five. So, I'm back to inside life and grateful for cars and heat and hot drinks.
