Walking With Dogs...

The heat wave made it and tempted me to enjoy the outdoors.  I whistled up the pack and we went exploring.

 Ki-Anne is a snow lover.  She ran and jumped and sniffed like a big dog.  However, she stayed close to me.

 The boys and Maggie patrolled the terraces in search of new smells and discoveries.  It was warm with sunshine...something I think my soul needed.

It was a double purpose walk.  I was checking fences as the dogs explored the creek. Lil stayed at home with her newly acquired musk rat.

In their excitement, it seems the boys rarely touched the ground.

New smells every where for Ki,

but she would not join Squiggie in the water.

It was a successful trip.

We returned, tired yet refreshed.

Every one was a little muddy and a lot wet.

It was a wonderful prespring day of enjoyment.

Behind The Camera...

most of the time is my sister, Marcy.  The camera is part of her and she shares such marvelous pictures with me...with us.

The snow is almost gone but Marcy's pictures deserve a spotlight.  May I present, Marcy's Art.

Thank you, Marcy!

A Berry Snowy Day

Not Complaining...

The sun coldly climbed over the mountain and the house this morning.  The ice reflected the morning light.  Not a breeze stirred so it seemed warm after minus degrees yesterday.

The pond was still frozen as my driver flew by this morning.  Yes, still had to be driven but the snow is beginning to melt and there are rumors of spring like temperatures in the week to come.

So today, I chose to see the beauty in the frozen landscape. 

 I listened to birds sing and discovered jewels in the ice.

As the snow begins to retreat,

I believe, maybe, spring will come after all.

Ki-Anne and Andrew

Boys and dogs!

A ornery combination

but things always settle down.

I do think the hot pepper is growing.
