SPRING has arrived!!!

Peek-A-Boo!

 The snowdrops are pushing through
the carpet of leaves...

letting us know that if they can do this...

then it can be decreed...

that SPRING has arrived!

While Ron was using his macro lens

he didn't realize that he had

taken a very short (14 sec) video

of the snowdrop below.

Even though most of the video is unfocused

until you reach the end

the co-relation between 

spring and the snowdrops 

struggling to be present

seemed to work.

All I know is I'm super HAPPY 

and 

since I'm under 

Mr. MONSTER TREE

I'm digging in 

to find last year's

hidden surprises!

Psst: HAPPY EASTER for all those celebrating!

Control that chocolate and Easter egg consumption ~~~ NOT!

The Sand is Coming Back!!

I know when things start to change

in my world...

my beach becomes a little more friendlier

the winter beach covered in rocks...

(as you will see in the beginning of my video)

is starting to become more sand covered...

and smoother 

making it much easier on my paws

for diving at Mr. Orangie

when he gets thrown down the beach.

We all know it's coming....!

SPRING ~~~ SUMMER

and 

then I'll be in that water behind me

swimming and body surfing.

Something in My Ear!!!

If the person you are talking to....

doesn't appear to be listening,

be patient.

It may simply be that

he has a small piece of fluff in his ear.

~~~ Winnie The Pooh ~~~

now may Pinkie and I go to the beach 

like you promised?

Quick Draw McGraw!

Sunday afternoon 

cloudy with sunny patches

or

sunny with cloudy patches...

for me it was 

sniffing weather,

while Ron spent time

snapping many photos

of the surfers 

especially with this persistent wave action

and all the different spray angles

 and caught up in the spray

and waiting patiently in the spray

and manoeuvring through some spray.

I kept focused I'm sure there'll be a nutritious morsel 

somewhere here for me to devour

look Ron is still at it...

(look closely and you'll see a surfer's head in front of that spray

holding on for dear life while the wave crashes over him/her)

Just to let you know

I did find a tasty treat over that hill

while Ron took that last photo

they call me

click > "Quick Draw McGraw" 

 now

I'm fast, oh so fast!!

Do you think he knows?

I don't think so.

With this view in front of us,

who would notice

anything else!

Weeping Alaskan Cedar

Oh, hi there!

You caught me searching for Mr. Orangie

under my favourite tree

Weeping Alaskan Cedar

"Chamaecyparis nootkatensis"

This drapey monster of a tree

has been a refuge 

over my 6 years

for many things of mine...

from numerous bones to anything edible,

at least that I found super tasty.

Last night we had  a snow storm

which didn't smother us as expected....

so this morning Ron and I went out

to take some of the last winter pictures 

for this season

(fingers crossed)

I thought I smelled something 

on the air

which lead me to this spot.

Could it be last year's Mr. Orangie 

that went missing

or....

 just a stick I snitched

from Ron's huge pile he made

while cleaning up the garden

readying it for a long winter's sleep

No matter what

I had a grand time this morning

crossing my paws

that spring will show up for you and me

so very soon...

and then I will be able to find 

Mr. Orangie 

hiding somewhere under

 these beautiful branches

that always tickle my nose

every time I go under.

Complete Opposite!

I know it's SPRING and the flowers 

should be popping 

through the ground,

at least showing signs of  waking up.

Well, not so much here this year.

We had a a snow storm last night

and the temperatures are freezing again.

So cold, so dark, so unfair!

Last year at this time we were basking in

what seemed like summer temps

or at least unbelievably warm spring temps.

Click here and see for yourself!

If you feel like sending us warm vibes

and 

loads of 

"hope for spring very soon 

thank you very much"!

We'd be so very appreciative!!

4 Years Already!

I just wanted ALL of you to know that today

is my GUYS 

 4th Wedding Anniversary!

What JOY we've had together

especially with my taggin' along!

Taking time for PEACE!

~~~

To spill all the days thoughts

out onto the beach

as we walk 

 rejuvenating our souls.

Having a great LAUGH

with strangers on the street in P'Town.

Seriously ~~~ Jim doesn't know who they are

but he wanted to get a picture with them....so he says!

He is one of my PILOTS!

and here is the other 'NUT'!!

So 4 years of sweet wedded bliss

and

40 years of living together!

Not bad, eh!

Cheers to my GUYS!!!

Jim and Ron
