We are here through April, so I am trying not to feel "time's winged chariot" too close upon me and just appreciate each day, whatever it brings -- sunshine or snow or dust storm or whatever! Yesterday was a dust storm, but this morning is sunny again.<br /><br />Sarah is certainly welcoming to human visitors! She makes quite a fuss over them in fact -- loves "company" -- whereas with the cows she keeps a sage distance. <br /><br />When do you come north to Brooklyn? For the spring? I know cities can be beautiful in the springtime. Chicago is always lovely when the trees along the Lake Michigan shoreline blossom and the first sailboats come out.<br /><br />Always a happy moment to see you leaving a comment here! Thanks!P. J.

But our relative’s dog who lives in the country, is exactly like Sarah: quiet and welcoming to guests, other dogs and all children. Pituca, however, doesn’t like trash trucks. Ha! I agree with Dawn - I love your drawings and all the details that you include. I’m guessing that your time in Arizona is tcking down. When do you return to Michigan?Jeanienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130421352415377273.post-84444309894789506562019-03-07T05:58:59.460-08:002019-03-07T05:58:59.460-08:00Hi, Dawn. Yes, Sarah is getting out every day. She...Hi, Dawn. Yes, Sarah is getting out every day. She has had a couple close encounters with cows and comported herself very well. No barking or bristling or other untoward behavior. Even off-leash, she just looks and then gives them a wide berth. Good dog!<br /><br />Thanks for your encouraging words about the drawing. I know I would improve much more quickly if I practiced more. Not that many years ago, I was drawing every morning and feeling really good about it. It was my morning meditation. Reading does compete for the time, though, especially when I am trying to cram as much Western reading as possible into the time I have here.P. J.

But I'm sure you got out on walks with your folks around the cabin. <br /><br />The books look good, perfect for a 3 day stay at home. And reading interspersed with cleaning sounds like a good way to be stuck at home.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00824027366993286152noreply@blogger.com
