I wrote last night that things feel different this week. Better. I don’t know how long it’s been since I had what felt like a Before Times day, but today was one of them. I got K2 off to school (hybrid model, this is his week to be ‘in person’), and went for a lovely walk in the area around my local body of water. K1 and I took a drive up to Nashua, NH to visit the LL Bean Outlet store there, where she scored TWO pairs of Bean Boots for less than the regular price of ONE pair. These are the footwear she’s lived in for five winters, and her original pair has already been resoled once and they can’t do it again… something about thread and alignment and stuff. Suffice it to say they have exceeded expectations in the longevity department. I got some work done at home, and then K1 and I took our energetic 12yo pup for what we call a “sniffy-walk”… where Vorpal gets to sniff all the smells to her hound heart’s content. We walked along the same pond’s edge, and it was really cool to see the difference in lighting between 8:30am and 4:30pm.
Come below the fold, enjoy some photos from my walks, and then peruse the Tops.

TOP COMMENTS
Brillig's ObDisclaimer: The decision to publish each nomination lies with the evening's Diarist and/or Comment Formatter. My evenings at the helm, I try reeeeallllyy hard to publish everything without regard to content. I really do, even when I disagree personally with any given nomination. "TopCommentness" lies in the eyes of the nominator and of you, the reader - I leave the decision to you. I do not publish self-nominations (ie your own comments) and if I ruled the world, we'd all build community, supporting and uplifting instead of tearing our fellow Kossacks down. Please remember that comment inclusion in Top Comments does not constitute support or endorsement by diarist, formatter, Top Comments writers or DailyKos. Questions, complaints or comments?

One last picture… tomorrow marks one year since my beloved Snicker pup made her journey to Rainbow Bridge. Her absence is as great now as it was then, even as I know she is romping and chasing bunnies with Casa Brillig’s namesake- who himself found a sunny spot on the grass way back in 2007. She loved stalking bunnies, and every time we see one we know that’s our pup saying hi.
All dogs are good dogs; Snicker was one of the very best gooddogs.
