A green lawn coupled with a sunny day are a winning combination. In spring, just after a fresh cut with the forsythia about to bloom, the setting is lovely. I am looking forward to playing in the dirt, planting and nurturing my garden. This weekend I am working but Monday and Tuuesday will be spe

My oldest rescue is Billy the Kid. Yesterday he had a dental, 9 teeth removed and came home. I am grateful and relieved. He only has five teeth left and can no longer eat anything but soft food: forever. He needed the surgery, had numerous infections and should be better now but I still feel sad

It was an unusually cold day and the group that hangs around my home decided it was a good time for a early bird dinner. There were many who attended but only this one who waited for me to capture the moment. So in addition to the meal, it looks like he was stuck with the check.

It is amazing how much a compliment means and yet how infrequently we get or give one. I was thinking about this and remembered that kindness is a very special gift we don't give enough. There isn't a setting I can think of where anyone wouldn't appreciate a kind word and a sincere compliment. Gi

This morning I have an appointment to have my teeth cleaned, and then a cursory exam by the dentist. I do this twice a year and I have no insurance to cover it. I will be asked to have a full st of ex-rays because it has been a year since I had one. I will decline and I will be warned against wai

If you have gotten to know me, you know I love dogs and have four rescues now myself. When I moved to Massachusetts from New Jersey I had three. After being here a year my neighbors home was on the market and I was afraid who would buy it. A family with a couple of kids looked at the home and the
