Well, our Winter Wonderland is back with about four inches of fresh snow, so I thought it would be a good day to take Pepper, our black Cocker Spaniel dog, for a walk. It was beautiful!

It’s three AM on a Saturday morning. So, why am I blogging at such a wonderful hour? Because I was awakened by the whirring noise of machinery.
