OH SOFT SPRING

Take a moment !

I GOT U BABE

Hey folks!

I am in a hurry as usual.

The guys are celebrating their 8th.

They got married 8 years ago,

however they keep saying

they like the number 44 better.

So Happy 44th to my Dads!

(this song was playing in the background

and suits them perfectly,

even if it was a hit in 1965,

8 years before they met)

~~ JUST CAN'T GET ENOUGH ~~

This is my view today
high up
on
Hawkin's Hill
looking over Lawrencetown Beach

The climb begins and with precision
I sniff every track
every piece of grass
and

work my way passed last years cattails
sticking up so stiff
managing to survive another one of our winters.

The incline is immediately evident
so we veer off at the 1st path
instead of taking the sharp inclined path
which I used to fly up
a few years ago.

Up on top of the hill
tucked away
erected by one or more loved ones
a statue for Katie.
~
I sniff
I approve
and
I continue on.

Heading back
along the ridge Porter's Lake looms to my right.
A slight melting of ice
gives me hope for an early spring.

On the return trek we reach the top of the incline
I spoke of above.
I see my car parked along Hwy #207
knowing that everything
has been
worth every sniff
every crunching step through snow
and
knowing
I "just can't get enough"
of my world
no matter what the season has to offer.

MY ANGEL of the WOODS

Caught your eye again, 

I see

Come along and let me show you my discovery ~

Since I have my nose to the ground 95% of the time

 I almost missed this beauty of a gem
hanging in the trees recently

 fluttering as the breezes slipped passed

She is my ANGEL of the WOODS
and
she brings me
much joy!

SNOW SQUALLS

As soon as I get out of the car

I begin to run and run

find a stick

(because Mr. Orangie is hibernating right now)

then the snow squalls begin ~

blustering ice flakes and crystals

everywhere

softening the landscape

for as far as the eye can see

runners and walkers 

pay no attention

the winds are relentless along the rocky beach area

even the old fortress can not escape 

Mother Nature's eroding onslaught

no picnics today at the park

some Doodles enjoy and some not-so-much

these February snow squalls.

I for one am in total favour of them.

They perk you up instantly

and

let you know that you are alive.

Then as quickly as they came

they are gone in a flash.

~

Namaste, my friends!

WINTER BLUES & WHITES

Daddy Ron let me out of the car

as he peered through the frosty windshield 

at the boardwalk 

He tries to keep up!

But I am a LADY DOODLE on a mission.

I know what I have to do

and

veering off the snow covered walkway

into the deeper snow

affords me more chances of finding 

delicacies.

No luck 

so up and over the walkway

onto the beach itself

surely should connect me with just one small tiny morsel

alas all my seaweed treats are covered up

not visible and not even allowing my nose to detect

where they might be hiding

in all these 

"blues and whites"

~

Next time!

HIGH 5 + HIGH 5 = 10 !!

💓Love at my house X 10 💗

~

Yes, yours truly has reached the age of 10!

This day

 10 years ago I was born

however I hadn't chosen

my guys yet.

They had to wait for 8 weeks

before I found them.

Then another week of legal 

"Mumbo Doodle Jumbo"!

~

They would visit me every day 

for that last week

before scooping me up

and

driving me home

to

my new life.

~

Did I ever tell you 

that I consider myself

to be one of the luckiest

"Doodles in DoodlesVille".

~

💘 DOODLE LOVE ALL AROUND 💖!!

~

NAMASTE!!
