Monday, Glorious Monday

I had a lovely day. The 25 degree weather must have had Presidents' Day off, too, because it was beautiful outside and warm enough that I kept the back door open for several hours in the afternoon. Clyde and I went for a run at a nearby park:

(This is my official 365 pic; the rest are just bonus. Lucky you.) 

It was muddy and Clyde was not really into the whole running thing. A couple times I looked back to see him sitting in the middle of the path, staring at me like, "Why are we doing this? This is stupid." We went back home and he promptly fell back asleep.

For dinner we met some friends at Bluebeard. The menu had things like "orecchiette: tiger shrimp, merguez sausage, soffrito, hazelnuts, fennel cream sauce" -- what? I know a couple of those words. My eyes went to CHEESE PLATE and SPAGHETTI. I consider it an accomplishment that I convinced the table to order not just ONE cheese plate but TWO so I could try ALL THE CHEESES. Delicious.


The receipt came in a book instead of your typical receipt / credit card holder -- cute.
