Fairies like the rain

Eatly morning after RAIN

It even got to be a bit more than this, but the bucket didn't leave its spot.
These sre pretty pictures. I guess the little spots are rain reflecting the flash.
Or fairies.

Friends and Animals

This is Paula at her place. I visited and we ate lunch. She's been cleaning up after not living there for a long time.

These are dog family. The yellow dog, Meg is the daughter of our old dog Tigger and the dog down the road Digger. The big black tan and white is Rig, son of Meg and a local farm dog. He looks like he's thrown back to Digger! The short ass is Yours Truly.

Boo at play- he loves straps and strings, chords and things that just peek out from behind things. Those are his favourite things.

Here he is asleep in the dog kennel, which Shorty avoids like the plaque- that and his harness. Shorty's theme song is 'Don't Fence Me In'. We sing it every night together after dinner.

The heater is a favourite animal hang out early in the morning before I light a fire (if I light a fire, it's been so warm!). This is a picture of snuggling not wrestling which is actually very rare.

The Game I used toLove to Hate..

 Yes, Bridge, the game I used to love to hate. I just didn't 'get it'. But I am starting to now. Sorry Ma, as you say, your kids are late bloomers. Ma's old friend Bunty died this week. They played Bridge alot. I think she may have been the last one of that era of Mum's friends. My heart aches. For this afternoon I also made some savories from an old recipe of Nan's- they were in the oven when I took the pics. While making them I had this real sense of nostalgia and thanks for all the lovely afternoon teas both sides of our family were good at creating.

Animals are good for old people

And I'm sure old people are good for animals!

Beauty for Bob.

Call me simple..

Call me simple but I am happiest it seems when I am quietly observing the creatures I live with, the environment around me, drinking tea when I feel like tea, coffee when I feel like coffee and making what I feel like making, when I feel like making it. Like Shorty early on a Friday morning

 or me making stuff late on a Thursday night. Work in progress.

Salsa updato

Hi there, beatuful day, after more rain. Wet all round, but not cold. I should be a weather person.

Following is a sequence of visiting with Muzz and Salsa. her wound is hardly dripping and looks to be sealing over.

Tommorrow I'm going to bring warm water and a glove down and really scrub it out. Over the last day or so I've just been squirting. Sorry about the water on the lense marks. And horses always seem to want to move or get CLOSER.
