An Ode to Endings and Beginnings
“When written in Chinese the word “crisis” is composed of two characters – one represents danger and the other represents opportunity.” — John F. KennedyThe reality of what my life has become and what it yet will be is a combination of pain and promise.At this time of year, when everyone is busy with family…
Ebb and Flow of Things
At 7 AM Saturday morning, it was 18 degrees. It was feeling like winter again. Back to plugging in the heaters. Tank heater Bucket heater Kitty water bowl heater And barn pump heater The mud froze into a rough, uneven, twisted ankle hazard. But Java was thrilled to find a new cache of poopsicles. Between having…
End of a Cowgirl Dream?
I wake up each day trying to grasp what’s happening. So far, I can’t. This past weekend, my husband told me he’s filing for divorce. Did I see that coming? No. He’d said something was not right in our marriage about a month ago, but we talked and I thought we were working things out….
Fairy Dust
It was a frosty fairy tale morning. So pretty. Good thing that something is pretty out there because my gas bill sure wasn’t. Doubled!!! I think I had a gas leak on the gas line going to the outdoor grill that probably took me awhile to detect and then another while to find the valve…
One Bucket at a Time
It’s 7:30 and I’d like to just pop some Ibuprofen and go to bed. It’s been a day. Started out pretty light. Java and I drove to the Rum River park. Java loves her Mini compartment. Usually, Java and I walk at a pretty brisk pace as I’m trying to loosen up after a day…
I’m in Love
It’s a tawdry affair, this love I have with Oboz, who cushioned my tootsies over rocky paths. Kept my feet dry when snow meltdown turned walking paths into streams. And protected my ankles from twisting when loose rocks and sand slid my feet into undesirable positions. Sadly now, the new love of my life sits idly…
I just love that JAVA! Have a good day!
Love the photos. Especially, ‘Java shake’!
Java has a good life.
She certainly keeps me moving and laughing! I hope Java still feels like she has a good life when she’s stuck in an apartment with me.
Java looks like one happy girl. Don’t just think apartment…there might be an alternative somewhere.
Java, I love you! You are too darn cute! I love seeing her swimming!
It was in the upper 80’s here today, usually Sadie will just jump in her pool, I couldn’t get her to go in it for the life of me! Silly dog!
Such a cute doggie! What a life!
Great photos. And if you do have to move to an apartment, you’ll take Java to the off-leash park or find an unofficial off-leash area to run in. It’ll work.
I’m hoping I’ll end up somewhere with a fenced in yard, like a townhouse or duplex, or at least a door that goes directly outside. Wherever we end up, like Ari said, it’ll work out somehow. Those apartment pools are tempting though. Kids with stinky diapers go in there. Why not a hairy dog? 🙂
