For many years, Mr. Gordon has made me a lovely fish and leek soup for my birthday dinner. I was horribly sick with (I assume) a version of the flu - which I eventually passed along to Mr. Gordon - so for my birthday this past year, we had takeout.

It's a heavy snow, and the tractor with plow is not cutting it right now. Bummer. On the bright side, I got up at 4:15am today and saw Gordon and Belmont off for their first day of hunting.
