Gosh, I would love to hug these little creatures and enjoy a warm embrace in return.
Cold metal. Brrr.

“A beautiful day in the neighborhood” to quote Mr. Rogers.

This is what I am thinking about this morning as I sit by the fireplace.
“We join spokes together in a wheel,
but it is the center hole

— Tao De Ching

As I was settling in with my book and coffee I realized my dog Ginny was missing. Continue reading “Loving an old dog…”
As I was walking out the door this morning for an 8:30 appointment, my phone rang.
It was my 3-year old granddaughter calling for a video chat.
Of course I took the call. I was prepared to be late or miss my appointment.
A minute later her sweet little face popped up on my screen. Continue reading “Little Girl in Distress”
