It snowed a few times this week and I was as baffled as I always am to see it happening in March. I donāt have a great understanding of what the weatherās supposed to do in a given period of the year.
After two weeks of cocooning, weāve finally been taking Lemonade out to various places. I aim to take her out at least once a day, usually to the park or a walk around the block. We also visited my favorite coffee place twice. Itās wonderful to see sheās such a relaxed and curious dog.
This was my last full week off. I still have a few days left and then I head back into work. I donāt know how people work after they first got a puppy, and Iām grateful I was able to take this time off.
I attended service at All Saints again. It was an intimate gathering with a rather inspiring reflection comparing āgiving upā to āletting goā for Lent. I feel like I never get Lent right: I drop in too late, donāt see it all the way through, and this always makes me feel like Iām not a proper Christian. Regardless, itās great to become acquainted with All Saints. Its focus on inclusivity gives me goosebumps.
Lemonade met the other corgi in the building, Lalo. At only ten weeks older than she is, he towered over her as they played, but she didnāt let that bother her. He was so sweet playing with her, using his strength in a very gentle way. Hereās to hoping theyāll become best friends.
Annelie came over for tea and lemon punitions. She had been gone for a few weeks and I had missed her. Sheās Lemonadeās godmother, and as they met in real life for the first time it was clear to see why this is so.
Anja started her ceramics course at Studio Pansa. On Sunday she had her second class, and she took pictures. Sheās such a fast learner, and the pots she made came out beautifully. Iām proud of her.
