Christmas


Christmas morning dawned peacefully,


but quickly became full of frenzied activity.


The tree needed to be guarded.


There were old friends to see and new people to meet.


The holidays were exhausting.

Thank You Union Elementary School!

A few weeks ago I visited the Union Elementary School in Montpelier VT. Today I got the best surprise ever when I went to the post office. Thank you cards!

They were all wonderful. I wish I could post them all. Here are just a few:



My sentiments exactly!



Of course I do,


especially because there is a picture of me inside!


Apparently someone thought that Arugula's party got a little bit out of control.

Thank you so much everyone! To see more cards, go to Arugula's blog http://perfectlyarugula.blogspot.com/

Stick Season


With the woods full of gunfire, we went to
the river


for one last swim.


We savored the sunshine as long as we could,


because it's November


and darkness is coming.

Top of the Mountain


Today we hiked up the rocky road,


by the craggy trees,


to the top of the mountain where we could see for miles.


It was fun.

Hunting


Some dogs hunt for game.


Some dogs hunt for truffles.


But I have a berry hunting dog.


Yum!


They're ready.

This Morning's Walk


High above the misty valley,



We followed the road


to waterfalls


and wildflowers.


Good Boy!

Home


I love where I live now, but there is
nothing like the place of my childhood. There
fences tumble under flowers,


and purple pom poms catch the breeze.


Sometimes creatures stand stone still,


Sometimes they are so fleeting you can't be sure if they are real.
