It's All About The WHIMSY!

Daily Sketchbook and a puppy dog update

Miss Maggie on the alert!

Maggie continues on chemo therapy( 5 month mark)  and is doing quite well...shedding like crazy but no new tumors!  We are very happy about this.

Miss Maggie update:  a full week into chemo therapy and no side effects!  This is a great relief as there were visions of much clean up.  Thankfully we have not had to "crate" her and she is returning to her smily goofy self.

When it rains...brother! It pours!!

After two surgeries in two weeks...to remove nerve sheath tumors on one leg,

Miss Maggie (otherwise known as Shmaggle) has started chemo therapy..a new adventure for both of us.  Day two and thankfully no nasty side effects have surfaced.  She's a bit tired but good grief!  A month wearing the cone of shame..I'd be tired too.

She's not walked the village in quite some time.  I'm sure her friends miss her wagging tail greeting.  

My new motto above... I just keep repeating it in my head.  Not much whimsy, eh?  I'm sure that will be back soon.

Dog Days of Summer are here

 

The dog days of summer are here...too hot for much outdoor activity...gardening happens at dawn...

busy birds in the morning moving in to a new home..

and we cool off however we can...

some on the window sills,

the backyard doggy pool...

Stay inside and watch TV..Binx is partial to the Discovery Channel..

I'm quite happy with one of these and time in the studio painting these!

 

Happy Summertime!

The cat's turn to post..

Hello!

Want to play???

I'll share my felted balls.

What I've been working on...

No More Excuses Journaling...

 

A window in Paris...where I will be soon!

Mini watercolors-making these is quite addicting!

And it is New England Flower Show Week! More on that later!

The beginnings of my travel journal for the upcoming trip to Paris and London. A bit of a construction challenge as both of the work tables from my "studio" are on the convention show floor at the moment.  With three kitties who love fabric roaming around...cutting on the floor can be difficult.  And my fabric scissors are missing..have you seen them?  Perhaps "terror" kitty hid them..

He's been known to do that..

I am thankful....

As Thanksgiving is upon us, I count my many blessings.  So a post a day to acknowledge that which enriches my life..not in any particular order.

I am thankful for my loyal labrador.

Miss Maggie is my best friend, at least she thinks so, please don't tell her otherwise.

 She waits for me at the door, hangs on my every word, frets when she sees a suitcase and knows I am traveling without her, warms my feet on cold winter evenings, chases the deer and other "wild things" from the garden when they wander in from the woods.  If I need to talk, she listens and never judges.  There are hugs and licks in the morning...ok so occasionally she keeps me up at night..did I tell you she talks in her sleep! We take long walks in the village each afternoon and marvel at nature's beauty.  There is no truer devotion than the relationship between a dog and her owner.

Do you think the birds mind that she drinks from the birdbath after playing fetch with a tennis ball in the yard?
