Tuesday SOL 4/7/15 - A Spring Walk - sorta

Max was fed, the pill boxes filled, the dishes done.  Time for a walk.  The sun was coming thru the clouds and then bright in the sky.  The temp was 65 - balmy and humid.  A great day for a spring walk and some picture taking.

Max did his duty, smelled for some different scents, pulled, stopped, and pulled some more - unfortunately the wrong way for me - he wanted to go home.  He didn't like my stopping to take pictures.  He didn't want to walk.  He's getting old and set in his ways.  He knows when he wanted to turn around. So back home we came, but there were a few pictures to share. 

Spring is here.  
The birds are singing. 
The redbuds are brilliant.  
The dogwoods are producing some beautiful flowers.  
The grass is turning green.  
The oaks are sprouting leaves and soon will be spreading the yellowish-green dust that will powder every surface.  
But Spring has a arrived.

    I love the awakening of nature in the spring. the lacy leaves on the trees, daffodil shoots proudly greeting the sun, etc. A most beautiful time of the year.

    We are still waiting for dogwoods to bloom and the redbuds are just buds still. Love the colors these trees produce every year! Hate the pollen that settles on everything and everyone. Poor Max, getting old is no fun.

    My favorites are the dogwood trees! They are a favorite childhood memory of mine. Enjoy the beauty.

SOL 18/31 - The Realtor's Came Yesterday

Image
Yesterday, the realtor's came to look at our house.  Our realtor only brings his own people thru, so it wasn't too bad.  Max slept thru most of it until they went upstairs where he was sleeping.  He barked briefly, came downstairs, got petted and pampered a little.  They walked thru the house, in the bedroom, up the stairs, down the stairs, looked things over, asked a few questions and 15 minutes later out the door they went. Our realtor told me he has had a couple of calls - one from a neighbor (being nosy) and another from a realtor who said this house is exactly what his clients are looking for, but they had just left the day before it was listed.  But could they put in an offer sight unseen?  Really???  Is this just a realtor's ploy to make us feel good or is it real?  No offer yet, but who knows.  It could happen. I breathed a sigh of relief.  Max looked at me as if to say "Is that it?  Can I go back to sleep now?". ...

Tuesday SOL 10/23/12 - Mr. Pockets goes to school

Image
Last week there was an article in our local newspaper that I found fascinating and wanted to share it with you.  This is a story about a dog who listens as children read out loud.  It's a new program in our school district and I'm proud that our district is using this innovative program to help students learn. Animals are so loving, caring and accepting, and the students love to have someone that they can read to and to be loved unconditionally. I hope you enjoy the article. http://www.baxterbulletin.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/201210200500/NEWS01/310200014
