Nighttime at Tahoe

It's late at night and 30 degrees F here at Tahoe. The insides of the windows are covered in steam from the heater that has been going full blast. We took the dogs on a midnight walk down the street a little while ago. It was pitch black (no streetlights here) and we saw a million stars. I heard coyotes howling for the first time ever, and it made me shiver--a very plaintive sound. Now I'm cuddled up in the cabin with three blankets and my computer. Too bad the bed isn't big enough for the addition of a dog or two for extra warmth!
