Cranberry Wine and Smoked Gouda Cheese

I spent Monday messing with photos. Wednesday is the deadline for Fair Entries. Janet brought some forms home so I went up to their house in the evening. She broke out some Cranberry wine from a South Dakota (Prairie Berry) winery they favor-it was delicious. Made me a little dizzy too. A very pleasant interlude. I scooted to town to buy matting board for the photos and made it home in time for Buster's med time.

I rarely leave the dogs home. Honey took exception to the abandonment and rearranged the back porch so I had a hard time getting into my own house. She is very competent, if misguided. There was an odor in the house and I thought perhaps she had done an anger poop. They are both completely housebroken but she has never rearranged the furniture before either. I looked and looked but found no problem. I got engrossed in my book and read until late. Went to fall in bed and discovered a dead prairie dog on it-I did a little dance-Buster's claim I am sure because it was ripe. This necessitated a 1:00 a.m. trip to the trash barrel in my undies. The dogs seemed unusually understanding-perhaps a little contrite?

I am still doing photo work today-set up in the "studio." I changed the photo paper and got much better product today. If last year's crop of photos were typical I may have a chance. We will just have to see.
