flowers named after girls some of them brutalized

I absolutely love this time of year. It seems every time I take Nick for a walk around the block, there are beautiful new flowers to greet us somewhere along our journey. And I've never appreciated flowers like I do now, thanks to our adventures. It's nice how one enhances the other. Oh, summer. xo

landing lover

I live with a dachshund named Nick. I love him a lot. Here he is doing that thing where he's cute.

godsend

It's amazing how beautiful the world can be. I've had the worst day at work, the kind of day where it feels like the world is crumbling. I've spent the last hour detoxing--sitting on the porch with Nick, drinking a beer and watching the world go by. The temps are in the seventies, there's a light breeze, and all is well. We met a seventeen year-old dog, saw the neighbors come home next door, and saw the guy on the corner head off to a barbeque. It's been beautiful and quite necessary. Michigan clouds can sure bring a change in the weather. This is when my spirituality is confirmed.

good morning july!

Summer is for taking walks around the block. Fortunately, Nicky's always game.
