Happy winter solstice!

This is from a poem by Andrew Lang called “Ballade of the Midnight Forest” and I now recognize that my true childhood ambition was to be a 19th century Scottish poet and folklorist (and also a wood nymph of course).

My gorgeous boy welcomes everyone who’s new here with sugar-face contentment. May you have your favorite ball and a hooman to cuddle.

I feel overwhelmed by the social media options so I forget to post here, but figured I’d share this pic of my sugar-faced boy about to catch his ball to keep my hand in this excellent platform. (He has big toofers but is the sweetest doggo.)

I found this #fourleafclover at the dog park today. Took a photo and left it to bring luck to others.

Need Xmas miracle! Found at Shelby Farms Memphis. Great with cats, dogs, people; no food aggression. Not neutered. Unknown heartworm status. Hubby & I are too fatigued to foster long, definitely not through heartworm treatment. Share & let’s find him a great home! #dogneedshome #doginneed #sweetdog

I think this is a gulf fritillary. Mostly native plants, but the butterflies do love zinnias!

Skye says you should be petting your dog. And if you don’t have a dog, you should pet her.

Reading Ada Limon and loving how she turns the familiar upside down but still makes it beautiful. (Like Herbie, our most mischievous cat.)

I know I’m on here as part of the literary community, but it’s my dog Skye’s birthday (she’s 4) so here’s a pic of her as a puppy.
