wendy
bless herveryself
is much better.
maybe it was the touch of sea air,
or the long car ride,
or time itself
she is in retirement now.
note the ears
even in the lazy morning sunshine,
she's listening for me
there is always
a longing for coolness, so she moves
from the sunshine to the shade.
from the sunshine to the shade.
this behavior, a rest in the outdoors
on her belly
is totally new.
always before she would be working (playing)
but NEVER still.
after the last long "episode"
she stumbles a bit,
carries her head a little cocked
and eats well, for the time being.

some of my recent
ice flower play
has been very pleasing, indeed.

which means i go back to work tomorrow.

wonderful Wendy the heart tugger, life lover, sweet being still being thee in the grass...oh, my heart is tenderized. Much love to you both. May your labors be fruitful and not too laborious.
ReplyDeleteBless Wendy, lovely pix.
ReplyDeleteAm now your side of pond and pootling up route 1. Hoping sea air will make me feel sprightly too!
ahhh dog ears tell a story wot?! great to hear that wendy is feeling a bit better xxx
ReplyDeletems, wendy, that little trickster, keeps me on my toes! a lazy sort of productive day--
ReplyDeleteindia, ah, route 1. the lovely atlantic and deer isle.
ronnie, she keeps surprising me.
She's just amazing at rest and renewal it seems! Pasha is more and more in retirement, too, I find him on the nap bench much earlier than 3pm which was the old norm. I keep telling him its OK to rest while in his senior years, but I think he really would rather be running after chimpunks all day!
ReplyDeleteThe ice flower play is luscious! Great color and I love the two things together. Sorry about work starting tomorrow, may your year be filled with inspiration, optomistic and wonderful kids and the same in fellow teachers!!
Blessings to you and Miss Wendy (and Pasha and Valerianna too). I love the tender, observant respect you both give your much loved companions.
ReplyDeleteThe ice flowers play is pure delight!
well, valerie, work pays the mortgage, but oh, my. and wendy, and pasha, and our not quite so aged selves. you are back to work, too, i think.
ReplyDeletenancy, yes, nancy the colors are wonderful, and the dog and the cat are elders teaching us to be.
don't the ears speak volumes.
ReplyDeleteglad Wendy girl is in a rally time.

So good to see Wendy rallying and taking it easy. No doubt she's earned her rest and bit of shade.
ReplyDeleteLove the ice flower play. Wondering what else you'll be doing with it.
