SATURDAY'S CRITTERS




Remember sharing is caring. Bark! Bark!



Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?
Mary Oliver



Okay let's say, "There are many Green Dragons in this world of wayside inns, even as there are many white Harts, Red Lions, Silent women, and other incredible things. William Henry Hudson







It takes nothing to join the crowd. It takes everything to stand alone. 
Hans F. Hansen

The goal for most people should not be to feel better,
but to get better at feeling. Shannon L. Alder



I'm sure this memory will bring us through the toughest of snow storms.



The good thing is, there's not one bleak moment that you can't replace by offering someone something of kindness from within.

The hand that feeds you.


So to those fading tan lines we bid farewell. Even a I crave running to the beach again, with buckets and shovels and supporting sunscreen but again we Minnesotans must exchange them for snow saucers and wooly hats and mittens.


 Thanks for stopping by, your comments mean the world to me.
Take good care of you.
