I was sitting in a living room chair the other evening with my laptop and looked over to see this rather odd sight across from me. That's Widget — or the Widge, as we often call her, or Widgee-woo, or (get your French accent on here) Wee-jhay — snoring away. All I could see was the very front of her face with that black-olive nose and then those two little back feet, propped up on the chair.
Yes, her eyes are open, but our blind animals often sleep with their eyes open. No need to close 'em to get some sleep when it's already dark!

And then, here is a completely unrelated photo that Alayne took a couple of weeks ago as the sun was setting in the west and lighting up the ridge to the east of us:
Those are some of our original, smaller animal cottages next to our house. That's Birdie's Cottage on the left, Keisha's Cottage on the right, and the isolation cottage in the back. In the foreground is the gate I featured in a blog post a couple of days ago, after we gave up digging it out all the time.
Because of that ridge behind us, we have some of the most spectacular sunsets out here. We'll head out the back door in the evening to go to the wood shed or to one of the cottages, and we'll look up and see the mountains lit up and glowing in all this red and pink light. You just have to stop and soak in the sight.
