Tuesday May 19, 2020 Because I was consumed yesterday by the 40th anniversary of the MSH eruption, today’s post reflects both Monday and Tuesday’s walks. One involved rain and the later was graced with sunshine. Optimism and gratitude are the words I plan to focus on this week. I’m worn down by all the Covid-19 …
Friday May 15, 2020 Happy Friday! Congratulations, we made it thru another week of shelter-in-place. This morning brought forth what looks to be an incredibly beautiful day.

Thursday May 14, 2020 Ok. I confess. We took a break this week because well, I wimped out. I didn’t feel like dealing with the rain. Or call it fallout from Covid-19 anxiety. Take your pick. Both are true. Like most, I’ve had my fill of news and politics. I have to turn it off. …

May 7, 2020 What a spectacular day! Our weather right now is gorgeous! And it’s enticing. It’s like the mythological Sirens are beckoning us to come out and play. Baxter and I took our usual walk. As we headed down the hill I noticed that someone had been up in the friendly skies playing with …
Tuesday May 5, 2020 In addition to the work out benefits I seek solitude when I take my walks. I enjoy quiet mornings. But, a wonderful side benefit to daily walking is the people you meet and observe along the way. The people who become the familiar faces you look forward to seeing on the …
Monday May 4, 2020 Happy Monday! We have made it thru another week and are on to the next. It was a beautiful morning and if the meteorologist is correct we will have a gorgeous week ahead of us! This morning was a reminder that things are not always what they seem. Baxter and I …
Friday, May 1, 2020 Jack Russell Terriers absolutely love, and I mean LOVE their people. They would defend you to the death. They are fearless and loyal. On a leash, they take their job very seriously. The leash is their cue for guard duty. Baxter is no exception. I have no doubt that need be, …
