We all need something beautiful right now. And some good news? Yes, yes, and yes! Dr. Bates, an internist and veterinarian, performed an ultrasound on Maggie and said, “There is no kidney disease!” Yes, her kidneys are aging (she will be 12 in January) so I do everything I can to take care of them, but she doesn’t need a “kidney diet”. And look at the joy on my old woman’s face!
Jim and I took the dogs on an off-leash trail. This weekend I managed to get each dog halfway through the jump.
Look at Skip’s paws! Stadium Jump is here. And don’t let her hog the spotlight, look at Maggie’s face.
At the observation deck on the first day of November. (And on our wedding anniversary!) Are we lucky to live here or what?
There are two more great things. Just because. Farm sunrise:
Sunset outside Genoa City, Wisconsin After the sheepdog trial. (More on this in the coming weeks.) Look at that sky!
And finally, this is what I’m doing Apply a flower sticker every day leading up to the event to help you get through the day when something is worrying you. It brought me a disproportionate amount of joy.
The stickers come from this book. $12 from Barnes and Noble, Castle Point Books.
Here to everyone, In this kind and caring village where we live, and my country is yours, to America, my beloved land.
