Easter Sunday

A beautiful sunrise started our Easter Sunday.

Bear kept me company in the kitchen…

And Easter breakfast was had before a small fire: Lemon Blueberry Cornmeal pancakes, egg in a hashbrown nest and sausage. Both breakfast and the woodstove warmed up a morning that started cool at 28F.

But before noon, it felt warm and eventually the thermometer hit 54F.

Bob partook of sunshine in the front yard…

And kept an eye on a small butterfly. (Butterflies are one of his favorite things :)! )

Wishing all a happy and Blessed Easter, from Bob, Bear and me.

Moonrise in April

Last evening’s moonrise (Thursday 4/5). The moon could not quite clear the wispy dark clouds that kept floating in front of it but it was still pretty. The day had been sunny, a bit brisk, but just perfect for being outside walking or doing chores. Bear and I had an extra long walk and then dawdled in the meadow to watch the moon (me) and hunt little critters in the grass (Bear).

All things new

New growth, new beginnings…my friend’s beardog came through a difficult surgery and has had a good day one. This sweet, courageous dog – he did so well! And thank you to those I called on for prayers – all are people who have been in a similar situation and I know it can be hard to go there as it brings up painful memories.

But…from an old episode of JAG: “We are each angels with only one wing and we can only fly by embracing each other.”

Things are different today for this good dog. They are different for each one of us. It is a new day with new challenges, new situations, new options.

And it is Spring and almost Easter Sunday – both carrying the promise of new life.

A shared moment

I scattered Karl’s ashes in the woods just below where Bear and I are standing. Just ashes, not Karl but it was the right time for me to let them go. I needed them with me until a month or so ago and then I knew I was ready and just waiting for the day that seemed right. Today was the day.
