Nature’s early rise
Unfurl unwind opening
waiting for the sun

Morning glory vines attract hummingbirds!
Haiku: All that is morning
Haiku: Devoted father
Male bares unborn young
Mates for life entrusted care
Female gives her eggs

Glacier reflections
Nature serves bluest of blues
The calm of the wild

Haiku: Pineapple and sweet potato?
A soft sturdy green vine
Deceiving plant names
A sage of a different name
Don’t eat the sweet potato vine! Just enjoy its simple light green beauty.

emerges strongly
uninvited takes its space

Golden Brodie barks “Give Your Dog a Job”
Ever since I was a pup…I have been working on being a well-behaved dog…I’ve been at this for three years and it never ends. I’ve also learned to listen and follow my instincts…the retrieving part…so I get things…yes I do understand quite a bit…but I mean I go and “get things”…like my toys.
She says “Go get your toy!”… and off I go…retrieve the toy and bring it for a playtime. I’m also still working on calming down…goal in mind… become a Therapy Dog…so I’ve been practicing outside of my local hospital…learning to take my place…be calm…and just do nothing…that’s right nothing…just sit or lay down and accept the gentle hands that pet me…It’s my job…hey somebody has to do it.
We all need a job…yes even dogs…certain dogs are happiest when they have a purpose…consider teaching your dog how to help you with chores around the house…and of course…don’t forget the tricks!
Haiku: Pipevine Swallowtail Butterfly Chrysalis
A sturdy armor
An odd beauty of function
Nature holds its breath

Golden Brodie Alert: Sometimes ice is not nice
Listen up! My golden retriever self adores crunching ice cubes…I get these treats when we’re outside…when I’m settled…when I’m lounging on the patio. If I’m overheated after a walk or a romp…my people lower my body temperature by pouring cool water on my head…my dog neck and belly…it’s such a relief…they never offer ice cubes at this time...because my body temp could drop too quickly shocking my system. So, ice is nice at the right time. Cool paws!
