The lady Athena is more than 6 months old now. We had the good fortune of having 55 degree weather both today and yesterday and we took full advantage. Yesterday we visited the Stodder’s Neck dog park (on the line of Hingham and Weymouth), and today we visited Larz Anderson dog park (on the line of Boston and Brookline). Athena is rather tuckered out I think. We are so excited for spring to come so we can do more outdoor activities with her. I can’t wait for our first trip to the beach.
Alexandra is almost 7 weeks old now! Here are some photos of her from a few days ago. She changes every day and gets more beautiful by the minute.
I know that it has snowed in October, but honestly, this is the earliest I have ever seen winter arrive. Last week (still technically “early October”) we had to turn the heat on in our apartment because it was 45 degrees outside. Then it continued to be a high of 45, 50-ish for the rest of the week. The leaves on the tree outside my window are still GREEN. I feel like I’ve been robbed of my first autumn back in New England. Heavy sigh for global climate change. While a blustery Nor’easter brought cold, wet misery to all of the northeast today I was snug as a bug inside all day. I made a delightful dish of braised butternut squash with saffron, garlic and chopped almonds on top of a blend of different grains. I have also had 2 mugs of hot apple cider, a baked apple and I’m going to finish off the evening with a microwaved s’more!
