Winter Walk
Attention: This preempts a previously planned post that sounded too darn whiny. A winter walk Lit by snow light Quiet Sssshhh Hear the snow And geese gathering And ice moving Creeeekkkking And dogs wandering And wondering Sssshhh Pause Listen
A Couple Days of Sunshine
I took Tuesday off from work simply to take advantage of a day of sunshine, that’s how sun deprived I’ve been feeling. It was well worth it. I spent more time than I probably should have trying to catch up reading other people’s blogs that I’d fallen behind with during my poetry blitz. I also…
Winter Contradictions
This is the time of year

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…
Short and Sour and Sweet
This needs to be brief. Yeah, good luck with that. I’ve almost got through cleaning my house but still have my bedroom and bathroom to go and it’s getting late. But first I have to share a miracle. Granted, Shy and Latte have left a good deal of space between themselves, but still, truly a switch…
Snow Dog

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? 🙂
