I should be doing . . .

Church work. The taxes. Moving something heavy from the van into the cellar.

But it's 9:30 at night. The living room looks drowsy in the lamp light. Christine is sewing a quilt. The kids are all sleeping. Eunice is stretched out pleasantly on the floor at my feet. And the wind makes the house talk and taps the windows with blowing snow.

I think I'll read an article and go to bed. I'd rather set my alarm for 4:30 than break the spell of a beautiful evening.

We're adopting/have adopted, a dog from a family in New York who weren't in a position to give her what she needs. I love dogs and this one is a real winner.
