Heart Shape

at by

Magic dog that she is, Scout was blessed with a heart-shaped spot on her left side.

She’s all heart, that girl. Boundless love and enthusiasm all wrapped up in a cute package. I posted this photo on February 22, 2008, just 5 days after I started this blog. I’ll be celebrating my 4th anniversary of blogging on February 17th.

I’m not big on celebrating Hallmark holidays. Don and I will wish each other a Happy Valentine’s Day, but the reality is that we say ‘I love you’ many times during any given day. I don’t need a card or a gift. Neither does Don. Though I wouldn’t mind a chocolate truffle!

But I do wish for you, my friends, days filled with love and everything that love encompasses: acceptance, tolerance, compassion, caring, kindness, empathy, hugs from a friend, kindness from a stranger, kisses from your sweetheart.

And maybe a chocolate or two. Or three.

Sleepy Sunday

at by

This is how I feel today. Even though I’ve been up for a while, I feel groggy and sleepy. Coffee? Check. Some breakfast? Check. And I still feel out of it!

Ah well. There are days like that. Since it turned colder yesterday and is very windy today, I’m thinking it might be a flannel pajamas day. Anyone want to join me?

Some flowers to brighten your day:

I took this about a week ago. Unfortunately, the tulips have since left us. But the alstromeria is hanging in there.

Are you hanging around the house today, or do you have activities planned?

Cooking in the Cottage

at by

At the risk of looking like a total fool (and I often do) I’m posting this little video we made the other night while cooking dinner. It was cold and windy out, which is why the shades are pushed into the window openings, and we were playing a favorite tune. Hijinks like this are the norm in our little cottage.

Starring: Don, Claudia, Scout and Riley
Don: the chef; in baseball cap
Claudia: in old sweater, baggy jeans and no makeup
Scout: looking for crumbs
Riley: looking for crumbs
Filmed: with iPhone
Quality: going for an edgy, cinema verite feel; in other words, totally amateur
Fun level: high

(I have 2 posts up today, there’s one with actual pretty pictures right below.)
