The sun

Two days of sun and the pretty snow is almost gone. But now we have a new problem—the hot sun against the cold windows makes cracking sounds that are completely freaking out the nervous pooch.

I have been leaving Jessie outside the past 2 sunny days because, even with white noise playing loudly from my phone or the computer as close to her ears as possible, she still jumps, shivers, pees a bit, every time there is a sudden sound. Even outside, if she is too close to the house, she will run off when they crack.

She is mostly content to hang outside, following the sun around the yard. I am the one who feels bad.

We had visitors as the sun was setting yesterday—our somewhat new, almost neighbors, Dmitri and Caroline.

Dmitri is a professional photographer and took some photos out in the goat pen that we haven't seen yet. Caroline is not a professional, but managed to get this great shot of Jack and little Matilda.
