We had a little rain early this evening. Then there was a rainbow. Kennonburg, Wayne Township, Noble County, Ohio. I give you permission to use the picture.
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!

The wild apricot tree, the equines love, looked like this
Just barely sitting buds
Then in three days —-
It started to burst forth—-just in time for the 60 mph cold, bitter winds and freezing temperatures at night.
Sigh!

Meet Mr. Hobbs! Someone dumped him off around Christmas.
He is a much older cat than TLC.
It took me a spell to get him, but we have him now.
No, TLC does NOT like him! Although they don’t fight. TLC has his nose out of joint and is very mad at me. I have to work to share my time between all three of them.
It was because of Boo Berry (Mr. Hobbes loves Dogs!) that I got Mr. Hobbes. But once Mr. Hobbes came into the house, then the Green Jellybean came out in Boo Berry.
Any advice or help you can offer to make this work for all of us would be greatly appreciated.
Our granddaughter in Alaska says she is taking Mr. Hobbs back with her in May. She adores him. (Maybe he will become an Alaska Air Force Cat!)
Until then, he is ours.
Advice please.

A blur went past
Hunting for breakfast
Gone! Dancing swiftly and silently across the land.

Genevieve wrote me three days ago this very sad, but beautiful email:
I will sadly be reading and commenting on your blog all alone from now on. Cupcake has crossed the rainbow bridge after a stunning 18 1/2 years of sparkling life. As you can well imagine, things are pretty dark and sad around here right now.I sent my girl off with instructions to find and kiss our old friends up there and to send me a new good-girl down here. There’s too much love left over for her, so I need a new dog to catch the overflow.
I’ll be back as soon as I figure out who I am without her. But I didn’t want you to worry in the meantime. I’m adding the double rainbow that I saw about a week ago. I imagine Cupcake is sitting under it right now.
Love,
Genevieve
I am singing a song of great happiness for you and your new fur baby!
I wake to a vague feeling of sadness
It’s not over-whelming, but just a low, deep feeling within
Sometimes I can shake it off, sometimes not.
Do you have such days?
Lypophrenia (n.) A vague feeling of sadness seemingly without any cause.
Yep, that’s me, sometimes.

My computer is fixed! Actually, I had to buy a new computer!
YAY!!

Never use the power of memory to generate sorrow
Never see yourself as pathetic
Keep that feeling of peace and joy forever
Recognize within each and every moment of each and every day
There are moments or pure joy.
Of which we all own!
From my heart to your heart, My Friends!

Go outside! No matter where you live—look up, look down, and become one with what you see!
Once you are there. Once you see. Once you experience. Give Thanks to your God(s) for you are truly blessed.
