I am blessed with three sweet and wonderful dogs, an affectionate and fascinating cat, and birds outside our windows. I love them all, especially the new cat changing my life.

With so much nature, beauty, and life, this is the perfect place to be at Christmas. Maria and I are heading out to bring Christmas dinner to some older or sick families. Then, I went home to sit by the fire, meditate, and read.

Thank you for sharing my love for these animals; they have enriched my life beyond words. Thank you also for your kindness and appreciation of them. Tomorrow, we are heading off for two days for our annual vacation. I plan to check out with a flower photo later today.
