Warm Spring Day - I'll get that stick!!

Spring

Everything goes so fast. Just when you thought that spring has just arrived, it is gone, and you wonder how you actually spent it or enjoyed it. Luckily, with a big garden, we have spent quite a bit of time outdoors, cutting grass, removing some bushes and trees, and cleaning. And we do spend a lot of time outside with the dogs. But you always find out too late that you didn't - either because you didn't have time or because you didn't think about it - spend enough time just lying in the grass, staring at the blooming trees.. And suddenly it is almost too late. Today - seemingly within minutes - the plum tree lost its white flowers, while the apple tree - which until yesterday was only green - exploded with flowers. It is so amazingly beautiful, and you wish it could stay there forever. At least for one more day, because I have so many things today that I cannot enjoy it, that will have to wait until tomorrow.. and tomorrow.. and tomorrow..

Right now I just want to plaster this blog page with apple tree flowers. Then I am sure that I can come back here tomorrow to look at them :)

Stella is afraid of

Stella is afraid of three things only:

1 - The vacuum cleaner
2 - the grass cutter
3 - the neighbors little white cat

LOL

(PS: Maja basically doesn't care!)

Morning has broken

If I should point out just one thing about dogs - the very best thing, it wouldn't be the love, the friendship or the loyalty, even if these things exist in abundance.

It would be the mornings :)

How every morning is full of joy. How they happily run out the door every morning, expecting the day to be full of happiness, full of plays, full of interesting things to see and sniff. Everything feelw fresh and somehow new, like you see it for the first time - in short, it is the best day EVER, because it is today!

And as I walk behind them, watching two golden tails wag and wag and wag, I feel so grateful for this; that every day they give me this wonderful gift: a fantastic start of the best day ever :)

Morning has broken, like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for the springing fresh from the word
