First–a Sky picture for you on this Saturday, even though the picture itself was taken several days ago on my way to work. It looked so pretty, though, with the misty valleys and the sun trying to shine through . . . definitely worth stopping the car for.

This morning’s sky, on the other hand, was an unremitting gray. We opted not to take Chappy for a walk in the park, figuring that it was just too cold and blah to make it a pleasant experience. Instead, we three went to my favorite farm to buy some apples (macouns and honeycrisps, my absolute favorites)–along with a couple homestyle donuts and one of their own frozen apple pies, which I popped into the oven as soon as I got home. We also went to the pet store, where I not only bought some stuff for Chappy, but also some aquarium tubing to slide into my tote bag’s facing before I felt it, to prevent those from closing up. I bought the cheap stuff–20 feet of silicon tubing for $1.99–because, well, it’s not like I’m depending on it to keep my (nonexistent) fish alive and healthy, right?

Oh, and we SORT of went to the park. We stopped there primarily to eat our donuts and drink some coffee. We DID take a short stroll along the length of the parking lot (because otherwise it really would have been a cruel tease to the pup, don’t you think), but basically stayed in the car. You can see how very blah the sky was.

Of course, right NOW the sun is out. (Naturally!)
