A Guidepost: Post Shamrock But Pre Bunnies

 

“I want to sing like the birds sing, not worrying about who hears or what they think.”

                                                   ~ Rumi

It Must Be Spring If...

• The forsythias are blooming.
• The western chorus frogs are peeping.
• The garden hose is connected.
• The lawn is fertilized.
• The songbirds are back. 
• The big daffodils are dancing in the wind.
  

 

I'm wondering what are the first signs of Spring in your part of the world?

Also, this week has been balmy and warm (sixty degrees plus) with nighttime lows above freezing.  Which means that the forecast for the next ten days will be less than nothing like that. As Kevin the Mailman and I agreed today: typical weather for northern Nevada.

 I'm hoping for rain instead of snow.

Spring is making up for lost time.  I turned around and the apple tree was blossoming and I'm pretty sure that they weren't open five minutes previously!  What a delight life is...enjoy your week ahead, dear friends, and may we laugh no matter what life throws at us.

When we contemplate the globe 

as one great dewdrop, 

flying through space with other stars 

all singing and shining together as one, 

the whole universe appears 

as an infinite storm of beauty

Nature is ever at work building and pulling down, creating and destroying, keeping everything whirling and flowing, allowing no rest but in rhythmical motion, chasing everything in endless song out of one beautiful form into another. Share this Quote John Muir

Searching for a New Best Friend

One year ago, I went on craigslist and found this:

And saw her:

 

The first time I'd checked for a pup since our heartdog passed and I found not only the breed mix and color I was hoping for but, after texting with the breeder, she was going to be available on the perfect date!  

The stars and the planets were in perfect harmony...meant to be!

Because of the dog's joyfulness,

our own is increased.

It is no small gift.  

It is not the least reason why we 

should honor and love the dog of our own life,

and the dog down the street, 

and all the dogs not yet born. 

~Mary Oliver

In loving memory of my heart dog.  Gone a year now.  I'm happy knowing she's chasing frisbees in heaven.
