PATIENCE


The secret of patience
is to do something else
in the meantime.


 heading off to a wharf and chilling
always sounds good to me.


Waiting for those arms to spread
encouraging me to run to Jim.


And zeroing in on Mr. Orangie

all help while waiting for our visit to Dr. Lindsay
Monday at the vet.

Fingers crossed folks

MARTINIQUE BEACH ~ PEACE ON EARTH DAY!


Hola!Ciao!Hello! Kia Ora!
Our Peace and Joy 
are always reconfirmed 
when we visit 
Martinique Beach


This day was by chance!
We discovered the sunshine
the tempered breezes
the long beach
the shells
the expectant sea glass
the joy of my "SOPHIEDOODLE DADS"
as we ventured down the expanse.


The waves were so perfect
so long
so relentless with their spin-drift


from so many angles
the waves slowly grew and the winds
seized the spray
holding it
relinquishing it's hold
as it trailed down the beach


the sea gulls hovered the freshly deposited seaweed and kelp


while I lay sprawled in ecstasy
in the chocolate brown
camouflage mass


even though we didn't stay into the evening
I dreamed of the waves
as I thought they would be like
as the moonlight
captured the energy
of this space on the planet we love so much!



enjoy!
Happy Earth Day!

THANKSGIVING MAGIC !!


This Thanksgiving Weekend in my part of the world
I managed to see and smell so very much.


In the park pond these three ducks wouldn't have anything to do with me.
~ everything straight into the air for us ~


This monstrous mossy laden tree 
really was an eye-catcher
even for a DOODLE.


Slipping through the side streets of Halifax
is always a colourful treat
and
with so much construction going on
we found new/old homes
"the nouveau riche"
taking over neighbourhoods.
Very exciting I guess!


Then before we knew it we made a visit to Martinique Beach
a good hour and 1/2 drive from the city.
We came upon a busload of kayakers from the Gaspe Peninsula in Quebec.
The surf was perfect for them
~ but ~
I only had my eye on Daddy Ron.


~~ SEE ~~
There now do you believe me?!!
Pinpoint DOODLE accuracy for my Daddy.
He is not going to get away from me.


However the moment of tranquility and peace
was sitting in the back seat of the car
as I stared at all these lights
NEON LIGHTS
while hamburgers were making their way to us.


The neon lights seemed to have a magic all their own.

Just like I wish for all of your

Have a magical weekend 

from us on our 

THANKSGIVING WEEKEND !!

MARTINIQUE BEACH TREK


I love to visit Martinique Beach in the dead of winter no less.
Yes, it's cold, freezing, chilly but down-right exhilarating!
(I'm pretending to be a hieroglyph in this picture.
Do you think it works?)


 Da lum Da lum 
Da lum Da lum
this is my inner sound 
as I begin my gallop down the beach.



Now you know why I am so focussed
and why this beach rates super high on my list of faves.


After traversing a huge rock outcrop the smooth beach becomes evident
and that only means more Mr. Orangie chasing.
Hello, guys....um...could your hurry it up!?!


 Yes, now you believe me don't you.
Huge rock outcrop covered in frozen ice, salty ice I might add.
Treacherous I might hasten to point out!


But here is my Martinique Beach.
Oh yes, I do covet this place and if any one shows up
I make sure they obey the rules,
Mother Nature's rules.


Since we are the only warm blooded bodies
daring to walk the beach
I figure Mr. Orangie needs a work out.


First catch on the beach,
I circle around for more.


I do stretch out when I run
now you can see my luxurious chocolate coat
with blond accents.
(Thank you DNA)


Number 2 catch
floating in the air too!
(Imagine if we could fly)


Number 3 ~~ straight up!
Eye ~ Nose ~ Mr. Orangie


OK, enough play ~~ let's get down to some serious walking and sea glass searching.


This pebbled area is always a goldmine in sea glass.


I told you that they would find some glass.
I did hear them muttering about not finding any cobalt blue, red or orange today at all.


Oh well, each to their own as I always say.
It takes all kinds to make our beautiful world go 'round 
and whether it be humans seeking for pieces of broken glass
or me staring down Mr. Orangie ~~
Life is Good!!

Overnight pajama party tonight....!!

My boyfriend is actually staying overnight in my house tonight...How did I get so lucky? Clancey is here now while his Mommy has gone to a seminar in another part of the province...Time to play I'd say.....



We love to tear around as we did last weekend at the lake...


around and around...we got so dizzy!


We will be going to the beach of course...we...urban boys love the sands....see
a wee bit dirty but hey...life could be worse...

...Clancey continues with...no Mommy around and I'm taking full advantage...


...sometimes the fog rolls in and you can see...what fun we have chasing and hiding...


...other times I just explore and marvel at the scenery

...we play ball all the time anywhere

....we even have our own orange balls...of course they're special because they float and make great squishy sounds...

...running for ever with 'crazy haired' dog

...when I'm pooped I always end up on a lap...I like white, see how clean we look...


I'm going to sleep now...as I said 'urban' boys get tired around the rural girls...nightey night!

Busy weekend of fun.....

This weekend my guys took me to Martinique Beach...which as far as I'm concerned is the best beach around. It is long with white sand and so much beach glass. My boys love to hunt for 'sea glass' and are always ecstatic when then come upon a shimmering piece nestled in the sand among the pebbles. I swear they are going to have sore necks with all this gazing at the ground. Come on 'look up' there's more to life than looking down.









These are specimens of sea glass found over the passed 2 years...







 the collection fills up this vase nicely...


so proud of my guys for all the bending and staring...I really wish they'd just throw my ball and get on with it.
