Welcome!

Today is a beautiful Autumn day.
We still have snow on the ground, and a chill in the air
However
the sun is shining and we have blue skies
with fluffy white clouds.
Wonderful!

Just a note here -
As I post photos, poems, quotes, etc.
I will always try to give credit to the originators.
Whenever I teach art classes
I ALWAYS ask my students to sign their creation.
Be proud of your work!
This is a unique piece that only
YOU
could create!
So, I try to pass that forward.
Sometimes however I have days like today.
Life with a Great Dane
I had plans.
Then I had more plans.
Things fell apart.
Then more things became scrambled.
Might have to go back to bed.
Or throw my computer out the back door.....

Now I do understand everything I am about to say
is incredibly trivial
when compared to children starving
Innocents being caught in wars
and
the extinction of hundreds of species

My day so far:
My dog does not understand time zones,
turning clocks back or
Melted snow makes mud.
At 3:30 AM he decides he has to go out.
My husband usually lets him out and feeds him at 4:30 AM.
I sleep.
Not today.
At 6:30 AM he decides I should be up. Then he goes back to bed. Have never figured this one out.
I decide to check out a website. But when I look for it I see that yesterday I was going through blog comments and mostly deleting spam from it. I have a couple years of comments to sort!
So I start sorting and see a very good comment on Ukraine.
This is called a bunny trail.
It wanders all around but not to the main issue/goal.
She had a good suggestion and was polite about it.
I searched for the post.
Wrong format.
I try to find it again, etc. until after some time I am on the post
But can’t correct the information.

And so we have our learning curve title.

Dog wants out, he adores eating snow.
Snow is bad for dog. He gets incredible
clear-the-room gas.
Dog goes to far back of yard, and eats snow.
I call dog, he ignores me.
Repeat. 5x. Repeat.
I have to walk 3/4 the way through our mud field we fondly call ‘our backyard’ to encourage him to come in.
Problem.
Did I mention MUD!!!
The next 35 minutes include:
8 bath towels
1 pair socks
1 pair tennis shoes
3 washcloths
1 bath mat
And
5 Milkbone treats
And last, but not least
probably a gallon of wet, sticky mud spread across a 4 room area.
I am exhausted. It’s not even noon yet, and I still have to clean up 2 rooms of mud in various stages of clumpiness and moisture.

‘Til next time,
But after more mud clean-up,
Perhaps a nap,
Finding that website I was looking for
And most likely a Twinkie,
