please email me so i know if you desire plain or dyed, and your address.
for all of you who participated, i give you all a little piece of my shifu thoughts... your comments were very much appreciated and seriously read and archived so i might learn a thing or two. i am old (so my students say) but at almost 54 (and a sagittarius!) i'm not, as they say, dead yet!
i'm so embarrassed b/c i had only meant to comment to say happy anniversary! i should have made it more clear, like india, that i had your magic already and even if i didn't i'd want someone else who had never experienced it in person to have!
ReplyDeleteoh and magic it is!!! i am thrilled. and no not dead yet... ha! i've got you beet by almost a decade!!! thanks...and i will email. i am beside myself with gratitude!!
ReplyDeletemy mistake, aimee! but wendy obliged and picked nance. yay!and nance, it's totally cool!
ReplyDeleteMissed the give away but wanted to wish you a very happy birth month and blog anniversary nonetheless.

what a good dog, border collies do take their work very seriously.
ReplyDeletei understand your words above, well spoken. k.
velma, hallo, happy birthmonth- it is mine, too, and my first sons. Thanks for sharing beauty and words with us here.
ReplyDeleteand I really do hope the north wind is inevitable- here the south wind is blowing for too long. it comes from Africa, bringing heat, dust and mud, . it has eaten up our Autumn..all is green and flowering. I'm a bit worried about the trees..after a particularly warm winter last year, and shock from the fire in 2009 they haven't rested for a long time.
V-she is a canny dog that Wendy.It soundas like your work is going to a good home and will be much appreciated. Well done - continue to inspire and create well. B
ReplyDeletewe're under a north wing whirlwind. blowing.blowing.
ReplyDeleteand farmers are said to go crazy w. it.
well i already had one too. but i admit i didn't catch your post so late but warm wishes...
ReplyDeleteWell 54 is young from my age of 71 and so far it hasnt stopped me from doing things.
ReplyDeletethanks everyone. from deep in my heart! and my wendy girl, she is beginning to be an older woman, so i just am amazed when i give her a new task, like picking a name she figured it out immediately, and enthusiastically did the job. (it helps that she has a dainty muzzle) and then went on with her own concerns.
ReplyDeleteHi Velma - I'm sorry I missed out on your fabulous shifu but I loved all the imagery of Wendy the wonder dog doing the selections so purposefully and daintily. You've just got to love a dog.
ReplyDeleteGo well
