Here's a shot of a beautiful bald woman and the pudgy spider-lover she tolerates, taken at 3:00 p.m. for some reason.

Sunday was all about the new foster puppy "Pecan" (I call him Angel Pecan) and the many friends that came over to see him!

In April the snakes around Boston wake up and get right to business! Here are two or three common garter snakes Thamnophis sirtalis in a mating cluster along the fence between our yard and driveway. Once discovered they scattered, and I picked one up for posterity.
The saliva of garter snakes is toxic, a form of primitive venom that help incapacitate their prey of earthworms, amphibians, and small mammals. The worst it can do to a human is make us a little itchy. This snake didn't bother, and also didn't make use of its more effective defense, emptying the contents of its cloaca--complete with a powerful scent marking musk. That smell may help snakes communicate with their kind, but on human skin it just communicates a need to wash your hands repeatedly to get rid of the clinging stench.
Garter snakes are gentle creatures, easy prey for cats, dogs, turkeys, and crows in the suburbs. It's possible that their yellow stripes let predators know garters don't taste great--depending on how many toxic amphibians they've eaten. Toad and newt poison can build up in garter snakes, making them one of the few animals that are both poisonous AND venomous.

Alexis found she could be more productive doing her invoices if she did it in bed with Agents Mulder and Scully nearby.

It was rainy all day, so we mostly stayed in. Here we're watching the end of X-Men Days of Future Past. Maggie is under the covers, cuddling between us.

Alex's new house! She's been there a few months, but I think this is one the first pictures I've taken that shows a lot of it. Alex and Alexis are suspending Jim with a stick. Alexis and I came over to help chip out some ice and ameliorate the dogs' cabin fever.

We'd had enough of being out in the cold and came in to watch a movie.
("Out of Sight" JLo and Clooney in 1998 film of an Elmore Leonard story. Meh. I got it because I liked Jackie Brown so much. Too Hollywood.)

For some of this weekend we retreated to the basement to watch Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. Alexis has taken to referring to the house as--instead of "Contentment Cottage"--the "Pigloo."

Shoveling once more, this time in a little storm they didn't call a blizzard, but with snow that fell faster and heavier than last week's actual blizzard.
