just a few random doggy shots
The dachshund in this set is Hurley, who is now a somewhat elderly gentleman, but who in his day ran a bear straight up a tree.
Lila
Lila is the very special human being who gave her Casey to us on Valentine's weekend of this year.
Casey is now Nutmeg, and is very much a part of our family.
Lila asked to come and visit her recently. The reunion was a delight to see.
I am grateful that in gaining Nutmeg, I have also gained a friend, someone with a tremendously giving and loving heart.
spring greens
If I were to choose a most beautiful time of the year, it would be this.
The first week of true spring, when the bright, young leaves seem to drink up the sunlight and glow from within, so that the forest shimmers with gold.
If only we could do away with the black flies...
stand by me
When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
No, I won't be afraid
Oh, I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand
Stand by me
So darlin', darlin'
Stand by me, oh, stand by me
Oh, stand, stand by me
Stand by me
If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
Or the mountain should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry
No, I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand
Stand by me
And darlin', darlin'
Stand by me, oh, stand by me
Oh, stand now, stand by me
Stand by me
Darlin', darlin'
Stand by me, oh, stand by me
Oh, stand now, stand by me
Stand by me
Whenever you're in trouble, won't you stand by me?
Oh, stand by me
Won't you stand now?
Oh, stand, stand by me
-Ben E King
