i will take words and wendy
and enjoy my everyday
everydays.
I LOVE this pix of Wendy...she looks as if she is in deep concentration and/or praying.
ReplyDeletelol

claudia, she goes deep sometimes. before our walk today she got caught head downhill, on her back. in deep maple leaves by the ditch, cried for help, then got very quiet. fear sets in easily now.
ReplyDeleteOh your Miss Wendy...such beauty. I enjoy how some of us (probably more than I realize) are posting of the new Mary Oliver book! Makes me feel connected to something bigger. I welcome limitations sometimes...there are so many choices these days. :)
ReplyDeletenancy, she is something else, wendy. i reserved this book, and was tickled to get it in the mail last week. and i saw there was an interview on npr over the weekend.
ReplyDeleteenjoying the everydayness of my life is a lovely new thing for me this year.
ReplyDeletewendy has such a pretty thoughtful profile.
i love the ordinariness of a (fairly) simple life.
ReplyDeleteI see this photo of Wendy ... and a tear slides down my cheek. Perhaps because I've come know just how very special black and white dogs can be.
ReplyDeletejan, she is a little b&w blessing, with a pinch of tri-color tan to liven things up.
ReplyDeletethe best is that what is an ordinary simple life to you is the most extraordinary life to others. so much going on, and tho i will miss your presence here in cleveland, i know it's here in a different kind of way!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely for you to have the Mary Oliver. It's definitely on my "next" list...and how I love looking in at your ordinary, and that delicious dear doggie. It's such a lovely ordinary!
ReplyDeleteyou have reasons to enjoy and savor.
ReplyDeleteaimee, thanks, and you DO know how ordinary it all is!
ReplyDeletems, yes, i saw it was coming out and ordered it. wendy is a good friend, and as one friend said, she's a DOG.
neki, yes, i do. including friends from far away!
Very tactile Velma.
ReplyDeleteYour Wendy looks very graceful.
Watched an ordinary sunrise turn exta ordinary with my old sweet little dog this morning. Daily life can be rare n rich I like this too.
ReplyDeletefaisal, despite being a bit crooked and therefore stumbly at times, she can still run.
ReplyDeletem., yes.
What a gorgeous cloth behind Wendy!
ReplyDeletehey, i'm stitching on that one now--
ReplyDeleteI heard the Mary Oliver interview and put it on my wish list for when others wonder what I would love! Pretty Wendy, what a love face.
ReplyDeletenancy, love that little face so much! and your sweeties, similar, but more delicate, are so beautiful. m.o. makes me so happy.
ReplyDeletesomething tells me that hanging with Wendy is the more important activity...
ReplyDeleteindia, indeed. you should see her run again! for however long it lasts, it's a beautiful thing.
ReplyDeleteGlad you mentioned the new Mary Oliver. Definitely another for my wish list!
ReplyDeleterobyn, i like how it's so mary and yet different, new, provocative. i like to be teased into thinking.
