This has been such a good day. The weather has changed, for now, for the better. Any day that I can bath and brush Timber is a good day. Isn’t she a beauty? She is among the most photogenic creatures of all… When I had finished Timber’s “spa treatment”, I wanted to go to … Continue reading
We have a beautiful assortment of pet guests this Canada Day long weekend. All the comings and a few goings have tired me today, and it’s almost time to get supper together. I’m resting and chatting with you instead, and wishing I had the energy that I had this morning. I guess in THAT sense, … Continue reading
We don’t have big plans, and that’s just fine. I finished grooming at about 3 o’clock and felt too tired to go to town to bank, get mail, and shop. On the other hand, dinner is in the oven and smelling SO good! Tomorrow there are “Pioneer Days” events in our little town, and starting … Continue reading
It’s busy here, but I always have time to make meals, eat, and rest a bit. I’m watching a veterinary series on the TV, and sometimes I watch American politics, true crime or hoarding or 600 pound life reality series. Occasionally I will find a movie or documentary. I feel as if I’m coming down … Continue reading
Wally and Clemina are both large Great Pyrenese cross dogs, not related but part of the same human family. They are both very respectful and quite easy going. Below are Duke and Timber. Duke is getting to be an “old timer” … quite deaf and sedate. He doesn’t suffer while he stays here: just hangs … Continue reading
We are starting to eat from the garden again … I mean really from the garden and greenhouse and not just from the freezer. Mind you, we don’t mind that we still have peas, carrots, and potatoes (okay, and some frozen cabbage, maybe ratatouille and miscellaneous) to eat from the freezer. But tonight, we had … Continue reading
Suddenly, I love Aegopodium all over again. This is what my dad used to call “Snow On The Mountain” and another common name is Bishop’s Gout Weed. This plant is hardy to the point of being invasive, but as a gardening friend said, “Well you can control it, right? With a shovel?” I used to … Continue reading
While waiting for the only dog I had scheduled for the day, I phoned my dear sister. I can’t say in my public Blog what is going on, but I will say that she is coping very well with some challenges in her life. Why I’m sharing this information, however obtuse, is that this set … Continue reading
Today would have been Mom’s 91st birthday. I know it doesn’t really make sense to do this math, because she died at the age of 46. To think of what age she would be now just gives me a greater sense of loss and longing. Earlier this week, while Gary was away skiing, I prepared … Continue reading
Nothing terrible happened, but I sure didn’t have my usual groove today. The weather was sharp and breezy, until it was dark and rainy. Winter is coming and I wish we could just get on with it … the gloomy dampness and biting wind are oppressive. I just couldn’t seem to get my mojo going … Continue reading
