This is my dog, Molly.  Like most dachshunds, she is a very active puppy.  I take her on frequent walks, but most days, she begs to go in her stroller instead.   Riding seems to calm her, even hypnotize her.    What do the neighbors say?  I think I’ve overheard them talking about the eccentric writer on the block.  Could they mean me?

If  you want a dog stroller of your own, write me and I’ll tell you where I got mine.

This big fellow got confused with our freezing-to-spring temperature swings. He was moving in slow motion, hiding his head beneath a leaf and thinking the rest of him was hidden.

I moved him someplace safe so predators (like my husband who believes in the ‘no good snakes’ theory) couldn’t get him.

I know what kind of snake this is. Do you? Take a guess.

Some people get cut flowers.  Others get candy.  But I got something so much better!  I got a freezer full of meat.  Hurrah!

A beef salesmen drove near my DH’s job selling sealed meet in a box (like Omaha steaks but a different brand) and hubby knew it would be the perfect gift for me.

I’ve already tried the filet mignon.  Yum.  Yes, meat is the perfect Valentine’s Day gift.

I asked for a snow day today and my boss said no.   :{  I’ve got to get my pages written and since I don’t even have to change out of my warm, fuzzy p.j. or leave the house, there’s not excuse.

I have the meanest boss.

And yes, for those of you who know, that boss is me.  But I know this for a fact:

If I don’t write it, they can’t buy it.

So, I’m signing off and getting back to work.

Later….

Float w/ Crawfish dancing in their pot

Friday night date night was the usual supper with friends.  Then for a little lagniappe, we went to a float loading party for the Krewe of Justinian.  One of my fav floats was this one.  Louisiana Hot Tubbin, with crawfish dancing in their tub.

This pic was taken using a friend’s cell phone.  Not bad for horrible lighting and a bit of Photoshopping, huh?
