Goodness

I know, I know, it’s been days since I posted and here it is – Election Night already. Watching the news tonight I saw how difficult it is has been for the people in the storm-ravaged coast to cast their ballot. I feel blessed to have been able to go out and vote and still be home in less than half an hour. I count my blessings every day here.

Speaking of blessings, we do have a really good boy. And this weekend, my son and I took him to the pet wash and gave him a (well-needed) bath in the self-serve stall. I reached for my cell phone to take photos but realized I’d left it in the car. Because he was so good, I bought him a dog yummy for after we got home.

How cute it that?

And he loved it. Ate the whole thing, piece by piece.

You can tell he’s still damp here even though we used the air blow dryer on him at the shop. He does not like that dryer. My son says he’s neurotic.

No, wait. What he actually said was that he’s weird.

Like he should talk.

I think he’s lovely.

As is the view he was gazing upon out the window. After the bath and the treat, he came with me on some errands and we stopped at a nearby park so I could took a few shots of the trees.





This one looks very similar to one I took four years ago in the same spot. I’ve had it for sale on my etsy site for years. I took it on a rainy day in November, I remember and the rain made the bark of the trees a bit darker (below).

Trees in the mist

I don’t mind when the leaves are gone from the trees and actually love the passing of the seasons because each one of them is beautiful in its own way. The leaves are lovely lying on the ground and in the steps of the photo above.

But I like it even more in black & white.

I heard this song on the radio the other day and liked it. I know it’s a bit forlorn, but sometimes I just like quiet, sad songs. And I’m not apologizing for it, either.

I don’t have a choice but I’d still choose you.

Oh, I don’t love you but I always will.

Until later, my friends ~
