A Morning Walk . . .

 

a resistance of color and warmth outside

but look at old faithful inside

i am hoping to move her back out

to the garden very soon

and introduce her to a couple of

new colorful companions

 

 

check out that tummy

 

 

made my three mile walk today

 

 

with my camera no less

and high twenties temperature wise

and intermittent snow showers

 

 

a bit fuzzy

but wanted you to see

snow piles are still here

 

 

other than the robin

this was my first glimpse of color

new growth on cedar

 

 

around the bend i found my favorite wall of forsythia

a faint blush of what is to come

look closely and you will see the snow flurries

 

 

a closer view

of the forsythia

the saying goes

apply crab grass preventer

before the forsythia pops

 

 

one of my favorite traditionals 

nice landscaping

lovely home

 

as i am writing this

i see some bright spots of sunshine

and a bit of blue in the distance

 

i promise not to get too excited

rain predicted for all next week

 

 

nearing the bend toward home

 

 

in between the rains i have tried to do some clean up

as you can see. . . the oak leaves never seem to go away

and twigs on the peaks need to be tended to

 

 

snow flake evidence on my hood

shower and makeup arrives after my walks

self photos are such a trip

 

 

back inside

looking outside

onto the bitter sweet vine

winding its way up the old oak tree

 

and close by is where the bird feeder sits

when my mister fills it
 

a year ago tomorrow

was the war with the bird feeder

my surgeon hand specialist

loves to tell the story about

his patient getting caught in a bird feeder

 

on my side bar, archives

april 14, 16, 20, 2012, for more information

happy 49 scott

 

 

 

my usual companion was waiting for me when i returned

 



 

attitude

 

 

more eye attitude

 

 this is her look of telling me she really wants some treats

although the doctor told her on wednesday

NO MORE

 

this little puffed up gal

gained one pound

to her already one and a half over

in four months

 

this is what snow, ice and very cold will do

she is not liking her new food regime

and neither is that "mister papa guy"

 

snickers is my usual morning walk sidekick

but boy oh boy was she with an attitude this morning

quite unusual 

maybe it was snow in her face when i took her out earlier

 

any hoo 

she wasn't moving

when i said the key walk word this morning

 

we will double it up a bit

on her afternoon walk

 

 back to wishing you

a few indoor outdoor bright spots

 

watch some of the masters

for heavens sake a fourteen year old made the cut

so tiger got penalikzed a bit

sometimes we win a few

sometimes not

 

our jordon starts his track meets this week

he be a pole vaulting and running some relays

we will be a cheering

for him

and

all the other kids
 

it is a good thing

we like these grandparent moments

 

remember

life and living

 is up to us ninety nine percent of the time

sometimes it is perfect

some, not so much

 

i believe when we feel down and out

we can pick ourselves up

dust ourselves off

and

surprise

even our ourselves

 

catch a little

hope and cheer and kindness

in your day

and a

tall glass of water too

 

make for a happy life

 

love lynne
