I Spy

I spy something in the meadow. Sometimes you have to look very closely …

And sometimes, they just come rushing to greet you – like my buddy Noah, who I see fairly often.

I love my workday walks on the trail behind our offices.

I never know who, or what, I’ll meet.

Today I spied Presley and Sienna.

I almost mistook Presley for a Jack Rabbit.

Presley, it turns out, is on his third home.

He started as an apartment dog, but needed space to run and dig.

Then, he became a family dog, until he got lost in the shuffle of kids and kid activity schedules.

Hopefully, he has found his third and final home with Wendy. She volunteers at a local shelter and seems to truly understand the needs of a high energy Weimaraner.

Sienna certainly seems to enjoy his company.

If a tired dog is a happy dog, then Presley and Sienna must be very happy dogs indeed.

Great to meet you. See you in the meadow. 🙂

Wherever Faith Finds Us

I find my faith in nature…

the skies, woods, meadows and garden are my cathedral.

I place my faith in something that has no name. All I know is that it greater than all of us.

I try to live my life by one rule: treat others as you hope to be treated.

Spring is a time of rebirth, celebration and remembrance for people of many faiths.

Regardless of which faith guides you, my hope for all during this special time is to find beauty,
