For the first 50 years of my life, my perfectionist self mistakenly believed it was all about knowing more, getting it right, planning, attempting to prevent bad things from happening, and keeping all of my chicks in a row. It took me this long to discover that the JOURNEY is all that matters. This quote from Gilda Radner sums it all up:

"I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next.

In the Morning Light



                                     ~Oscar Wilde 





I love to look out my kitchen window in the morning and watch my dogs as they head out to greet the new day!


After sprinting to chase the squirrels away, painting the snow in the yard a brilliant
 yellow, and rolling around in the snow in sheer delight,  they usually end up sitting 
together on the deck.  I couldn't resist joining them this beautiful morning!


The soft morning sun was glistening on the snow on Sami's whiskers.


 While Sami always avoids looking at the camera, Halle is just the opposite!


Maddie always joins them for their morning romp.



Don't let her fool you!  She has no fear whatsoever of the dogs!



 Sami and Halle are watching Maddie, amused as she stalks a cardinal perched on the fence...



 The same one that's been sitting there 24/7 for years.

    1. Hi Lydia,
      My dogs are Finnish Lapphunds. They are herding dogs (they originally were reindeer herders in Finland). The most common color is black with tan markings, but they also come in brown w/tan or solid cream color. Very nice dogs!
