before-and-after (1 or 2)

This is the first time I am trying a double post: a before and after, 24 hours apart. I have been doing a lot of these before-and-after pairs lately; Primarily because it it just Steve and me in the house now, so I can leave my STILL specimens on the floor, where I photographed them for as long as I want! No dog. No kids. Just a little accumulated dust to contend with. Of course, I would rather have the dog back, and the kids home again, but such is life.
