Java Working on Her Social Skills
My sister advised me not to be like Lot’s wife and spend my time looking backwards, lest I turn into a pillar of salt. Perhaps pillar of salt was a metaphor for grief and the salty tears that sadness brings? I know I can’t get through this time without grieving, without examining my life to…
Not too much to report on outdoor activity. The only aerobics I’ve done lately is to rush from my warm car to a warm building and some short sprints on my elliptical while catching up on the latest Grey’s Anatomy and Fringe episodes, that I watch on my tiny laptop screen. Unfortunately, I’m not like…
It is good to feel lost… because it proves you have a navigational sense of where “Home” is. You know that a place that feels like being found exists. And maybe your current location isn’t that place but, Hallelujah, that unsettled, uneasy feeling of lost-ness just brought you closer to it. ~Erika Harris I spent…
“I thrust my hands into the cool rich soil, the moss like fur between cracks of the bricks I want to roll like a big dog and shake free.” — Marge Piercy, “Shad blow” I think “Shad blow” is my favorite Marge Piercy poem that I’ve read so far. It’s about the season of Spring…
I’ve been told I need to schedule more “fun time” for myself. It’s hard because there’s so much work to do around the house. I want to take more walks with Java. More horseback riding. But the days are so short now. I only seem to have enough time to work. Weekends allow for a…
“It’s a common belief that positive thinking leads to a happier healthier life. As children, we’re told to smile and be cheerful and put on a happy face. As adults, we’re told to look on the bright side. To see glasses as half full. Sometimes reality can get in the way of our ability to…

Oh Mary, these are the sweetest pictures ever. Such good natured animal buddies to have.
What a wonderful series of photos. They’re priceless! I really mean that. You should frame them!
My K has convinced my friends horse to play tug with her. It was crazy to watch, back when K was a pup, how she’d take the tug toy and try to tease the horse with it. Eventually, the horse took the other end and a small game of tug ensued! Now, the two play with a stick together. So wonderful…
This is so cute! I was laughing and crying! Java reminds me so much of my Bailey!! He always has to be right there in the horses legs, face, whatever, the closer the better!
Mary…This post and the last post are great. Snow, yuck! But Java and the horses are so sweet. And the photos taken near the St. Louis River are spectacular. You picked out a great place to get away from it all.
Thanks for your visits.
Mary– Java is the key-ootest! Love the pics from the last post too. Sorry I missed the one before until now. Hope today is a little better.
Very funny. Love the photos and narrative.
That last photo says it all..I believe they are friends! 🙂
It’s been fun watching this crazy relationship develop between Java and mainly Luke because Luke just pays more attention to other living things while Murphy tends to be off in his own world. When the place does sell, I’ll miss being able to catch these daily moment, which I guess is why I try so hard to capture them now.
freakin adorable.
thanks for sharing.
