Watching my birds and esp. my owl family this morning. They always make me smile and laugh sometimes.

my aunts dog crystal waking me up to kisses

Words · 04-25-2011, 11:10 AM

An awakening.

W/we've worked soooooooo hard this weekend, taking advantage of the place that W/we live in is full of Easter tourists and what that means for O/our little collectables business here in town. Profitable? Not bad. Tiring? You bet.

So this afternoon, after working hard all day, W/we take off to O/our local pub for a drink. Nothing fancy, just a long, cool, much deserved beer. Which it was, until I spotted a beautiful old cast iron water feature - a lion - slumped in a corner and clearly not being used. ''What do You think?'' I ask Daddy. ''Do You think the owner would let U/us buy it off him?'' ''I don't know,'' Hy says, ''but it wouldn't hurt to ask''. Which Hy does. Immediately. Because Hy knows it's something I want.

A few minutes later and out comes the owner. ''Yep, you can have it,'' he says, ''Just give a small dontation to the charity of your choice or give it to me for the charity of my choice.'' Which W/we do. Happily. More than happily, because it's a beautiful water feature, one that would look lovely in O/our yard, and I can't bear to see it hid away in a corner.

But how to get it home? It's iron, it's heavy, and B. can't take it in the car because Hy's had a couple of beers. ''I'll carry it,'' Hy says. And does. Not because Hy particularly wanted it, but because I did. Hys girl. Hys love. Hys wife. Who Hy wants to make happy, because that's the kind of Daddy that Hy is. In spite of the heat. In spite of Hys shitty knees. In spite of the fact that I'm a silly, silly girl who is prone to spontaneous flights of fancy.

If that wouldn't make me smile, what would?

I am blessed.

as usual these days, my animals:
waking up to the sound of the birds outside my window
feeding nickers his bottle
feeding the hounds and the mamacat
seeing and hearing them all during the day!
namaste,

Sleeping until I woke up, no alarm, no hurry. Fresh coffee with my favorite flavored creamer. Bob being a velcro dog this morning. Lots of dog kisses and cuddling, not fussing about having to go outside because it is nice and warm already. Simply the perfect morning.

Legendryder · 04-26-2011, 06:40 AM

He can be, but as a chihuahua, he can be a massive handfull. I love it when he is like he is this morning. Calm and loving. It does not happen often, but when it does I take advantage.
