People, animals, or landscapes, fellow blogger and photographer Lloyd’s pictures always go straight to the soul. Here he’s captured the quizzical face of a dear deer. The West Virginia resident writes, “She’s shedding her winter coat but it like she has “bed head”…
Living close to nature means interesting neighbors. They are generally good natured and tend to keep to themselves. Oh sure there’s the occasional dispute over who owns the garden but for the most part they don’t bother anyone. Being the outgoing personality that I am, I decided to walk over and check on her after a long hard winter. However, she didn’t seem to be happy that I interrupted her breakfast. In fact, she looked downright stressed that I was there. “Hello, how’s it going?” I spoke in a nice soft tone. She refused to answer. Once more I tried to start a pleasant conversation. “I see you made it through the winter ok.” Can you believe that she just stomped her foot and snorted off? How rude was that? But in her defense I was there unannounced and she probably hadn’t had her morning coffee 😉
Getting letters and postcards in the mail is a joy! When I was a kid, I even loved getting junk mail! Years ago, a friend told me that only handwritten could suffice for thank you notes, never email. I try to follow her advice as often as I can.
How about you? Do you write and/or receive handwritten mail?
Fellow blogger Nadya Irsalina inspires me to take it to a new level…
I’ve always been interested to send letters since I was a kid. The curiousity grew from seeing rubik sabahat pena (penpals) on Bobo, a kid’s magazine that my mother bought for me. But I had to wait until I was in junior high school to actually start sending letters. I don’t know about you but finding a new letter on the mailbox is like a nice little surprise for me. Nothing beats the thrill of opening the mailbox and finding a letter, written and addressed just for me. I still remember when my dad’s friend sent a postcard from LA and I was so excited to read it and removed the stamp. I used to collect it, even though I wasn’t really a philately. To me, it’s quite saddening that years after that, letters carried by conventional postal service seemed to be left behind and replaced with modern technology like…
Dogs are pack animals. They aren't equipped to spend long periods alone. As our pets, however, sometimes this is hard to avoid. Fellow blogger Alica describes what works for her... The Separation anxiety in dogs has been one of the most dreadful problems. This will also confuse you as the owner or parent of the pet.… Continue reading Guest Blog Post: “How to Care for a Dog with Separation Anxiety,” in Alica’s exact words→
