Having a gin (The Botanist) and tonic (fever tree/ Mediterranean) with lemon, 6 juniper berries,& a rosemary sprig. Cannot recommend enough. Best version of my favorite. (I know i posted something similar in June, but this is important).

The drink i just mentioned shown in a purple cocktail glass i got a set of at an antique store.

Tonight. There's a Pavement type out there. God knows I dated enough of them. Anyhoo, going.

A large marquee that says NATIONAL, the venue and below it, today's date and Pavement.

80% chance of storms all evening, and I'm already an hr in to being Luther's emotional support animal.

Me, a middle aged dark haired lady in the awkward stage of growing out bangs, holding a tri-colored beagle with red ticks who needs to be huddled for any storm.

May be common knowledge, but just in case: had a few gin & tonics in Sorrento made w/ juniper berries, a rosemary sprig, and a slice of lemon. I brought it home. Fantastic.

I've given up. She does what she wants.

poor planning, undefeated. Hard rain and cold af. Wrong clothes, wet boots, borrowed jacket, broken umbrella.

Cold person in wet boots, white mini, large windbreaker, broken umbrella. Wesleyan University campus.

my first black squirrel/Wesleyan University campus.

Shannon@shannonfego· May 7

the beagles demand an early morning walk once it hits 60 degrees, so I see so many animals (even a bear) finishing up the night shift.

An owl on a wire surrounded by several rain soaked trees.

How have I never seen a sleeping, sunbathing squirrel before today!? Nature for the win.

Luther watching that musical performance. He's Team Sinners.

I made her go for a walk in the rain.

Disdainful and damp tri-colored beagle looking right at me while perched on a beige back sofa cushion vs on the warm blanket i put down over the real seat cushions.

A good old fashioned New Year's Eve stand off.

Agatha on a coffee table between a sofa with her/their blanket on it and the Christmas tree. Fireplace, unlit, on the left. Luther on the blanket already on the sofa daring her to jump.

was gifted John Malkovich socks, and I love them. I guess I talk about him a lot more than I realized!

A pair of socked feet on a coffee table. Socks are mostly white with a black band across the toes. John Malkovich's face is repeated again and again and again across the white part.

Beagles at rest

Antique store find-a stained glass Christmas train. Why not.

A lit train with a blue engine, a green, then yellow car and blue caboose. Filled with bags of toys. On a bookshelf that is NOT organized because I am not.

Costumes so good, they needed to confirm identity

Two beagles face to face. Tigger (Luther) and Eeyore (Agatha) sniff each other to confirm identity.

Even my beagle likes this one

Shannon@shannonfego· Oct 17

Im watching a friend's puppy while he is at the ER, and it has come to this. Fences. Agatha in the chair like a little gargoyle, and Luther doing his best If this gate weren't here, I'd... Meanwhile, the puppy is finally asleep after 3 hrs.

When you start packing.

Khaki? sofa with a cream pillow with two startled beagles pressed as closely together as possible. Agatha, reddish brown faced beagle is being squeezed in by the cream pillow on one side & by the larger, white and reddish brown faced beagle, Luther.

Is this a copperhead? My neighbor just sent this to me, and it is in their yard. I need summer to end.

this albino squirrel has managed to live for years. Just stays on a large school campus with another albino squirrel. That's a pretty great adaptation.

Very white squirrel on a tall dark brown tree trunk. Has a particularly long white tail and is attached by all four feet with his head tossed over his shoulder (or whatever we call them in squirrels)

Do you think this means my snake visitor has died?
