dream sequence...

i am skateboarding at the basketball court...it feels very good...i stop and talk with a couple of skaters from the neighborhood...

Rhiannon...

My trail dog extraordinaire...taking a snooze in the garden, resting her hindquarters in a freshly dug hole...this, my friends, is living...on our hike today we saw a grouse; many, many deer; an assortment of smaller birds & quite a few members of the grey squirrel population...Rhiannon got in many good sniffs and three high-quality stinky-stuff rolls...she paddled around in a small forest pool and got so happy afterwards we had to skip and run for a while! I'm telling you she can really pick a trail...

appreciation...

Hours cut at work gives me a day off during the week. Of course i stress about the $$$, but look at what else i gain! Rhiannon & i take a two-hour hike through the woods after dropping my daughter off at school for her chorus practice. Oh, and what a wonderfully beautiful day to do such a thing! I get caught up on the newspaper and some e-mail...i get some stuff done around the house...i feel good, relaxed, and content...
