Sightseeing and Ingenuity at Its Best
It was kind of a lazy day today. I went to church in the morning. Came home and had lunch. Then put the tarp I bought yesterday on the kennel.

I have so many things running around in my head that I could possibly write five blog posts with them or one disturbingly long one that would take my mind-waterfalls and summon up one big gushing tsunami. But I don’t have the time. Or the energy. So here are the bullet points: After much trepidation,…
my Willow girl I’m wondering what kinds of traditions people have for the holidays? Especially anyone who doesn’t have their family nearby. Fortunately, most of the people who read this blog don’t appear to be in that situation. My family has traditions like measuring noses to see whose nose is the biggest. It’s not mine!…
Release Deep breath in Exhale Open the door Home Greeted by A box of chirps Beaks upturned And two adoring Tail waggers Fur under hand I see a better me In their eyes Whimpering Energetic love Shoulders drop A notch Dogs perform Backyard dash and dump While I pirouette Into a costume change Jeans?

I came down with some sort of sinus, achy, exhausted thing on Christmas Day and have been laying low. Fortunately, I did get out on Christmas Eve and got to enjoy homemade pasta, beer and cheesecake with good company to boot. Eccellente! I also got in a few pleasant walks with the Brew Babes before…
“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 love those kind of days, ones where you can just do whatever you want!
Looks like you got Java’s kennel done, it looks great!
That is an awfully smart idea by rigging up that apple picker! Too bad it didn’t work out so well!
What is it about dogs that just don’t want to relax? I have a couple of those myself! Silly! Don’t they know that us humans would like to relax from time to time?
Ha ha – I love the apple picker. that’s the kind of thing you can only get away with if you don’t have any neighbors close enough to watch you. Relaxing is good every once in a while – I think I might have done too much of it yesterday, though!
You are so good at combining pics with what’s going on in your life. Totally entertaining!
I’ve been away for a few days- working like crazy. Sounds like all in all you’ve been hanging in there. Love your blog, can’t wait to get together for writer meetings!
I love the photo of Java looking at you through the little window. Great!
And, sorry, but I chuckled about your apple picking escapades!
I also love the photo of Java peeking at you. Really enjoyed going for your walk with you. Also, Java’s kennel looks perfect…nice job.
Yes, the apple picking was definitely good for a laugh. It could have made funniest home videos if it had been recorded.
I too love the photo of Java looking down at me. She’s actually on one of the deck levels (there are two levels), looking through the rail opening.
Sue – I am totally looking forward to your show opening! And to doing the writer’s challenge. I just hope I can think of something to write about.
wow, that apple picker is something else. i might have to try that. after i try the ladder, which, i hope is easy. the best apples are at the very top of our trees. bummer!
great photo documentary of your escapades, i am enjoying your blog!
