Lucy says hello

-

Hello, you dear people who take the time to read my humble blog be it ever so simple,  light reading. I am so thankful for you all.💖

The above photo is a favorite of my dog, Lucybelle. We mostly call her Lucy. She was about 4 years old in this photo and full of vim and vinegar! We rescued her as a puppy from a shelter in Kentucky. She was so tiny and cute as a button.❤







Unfortunately, in the next 4 years she developed chronic arthritis in her hips and became very inactive and overweight. She is a little Miss Piggy and given half a chance will steal from her older "sister", Dolly, and the cats. She is my constant companion and never far from my side. It's heartbreaking to leave her but for her own good I do not take her to Maine with me. For one thing her world is here. She has never been walked around the neighborhood. Our land is large enough, she can run around and explore, etc. I have to be within eye sight though. And, she is not a good traveller. She is like a piece of petrified rock once I lift her into the car and she stays that way until we get to wherever we are going. She hates being on her leash. She is not comfortable when she is in a new setting. Her tail goes between her legs and she sits, refusing to budge. Another problem is that we don't have an enclosed yard at Mom's. I would have to have her constantly on a leash or I would be afraid she might take off for the hills trying to get back to her safe haven in Pennsylvania! And, she is very attached to Dolly and would miss her. Dolly, in her blindness, bumps into Lucy, wags her tail and licks her on the nose.  No, it's less complicated if I leave Lucy here in her happy and safe environment.❤ 

Today we continue our Thirty days of Thankfulness posts. Needless to say, Lucy is high up there on my list of blessings

We have had rain lately. Our temps are so unbelievably mild! I love taking pictures of leaves after the rain has fallen on them. My own world these days has diminished. But all I have to do is step outside our back patio door to enjoy lots of them, both on the trees and on the ground, everywhere you look we have leaves. Ah, a delight to behold.

    It was thoughtful of you to consider Lucy's comfort and I am sure Dolly is glad also though you must miss them. What beautiful shades of red.

    Hello to Lucy, she is beautiful.. You will miss her terribly and she will miss you when you have to leave her behind, so sad. Wonderful autumn photos.

    So many pretty leaves still. We went from about half the leaves around here still clinging to trees, to bare trees in just a couple of days. The wind is howling toady and it feels like winter is about to descend. :( Supposed to warm up to 65 again later in this week, though, so it's not winter yet! :)

    I so enjoyed the photos
    ..the leaves are so beautiful. Yes, much easier on Lucy to leave her in her own home. But I know you will miss her.

    Gorgeous fall photos. Lucy is so cute. I hope Lucy has some relief from arthritis. Hard to leave her behind I bet but seems like a sound decision.

BLOOM WHERE YOU ARE PLANTED

Hello there wherever you are! A little update from the person who has a very boring existence these days. Well, I guess I left off with the sale of my parents house and the divviing up of the proceeds to various family members. That open a whole lot of friction with lawyers involved. That took time and the buyers had construction workers due to start work on the house. They extended the closing date by 10 days and I was sweating bullets on the last day but it happened and is behind me now.   Once that was over with we scheduled to have a whole house generator. Electricians, and excavators were scheduled but because of backlogs we didn’t see anyone until after Christmas. We are in a valley and we have to drive up to our road. A ditch had to be dug from our house to the road. The power company had to replace a pole and run new lines up at the road. Trees had to be cut down and huge boulders taken out of the ditch. What a mess! It rained just about every day when the were doing all 30...

RAINY DAY MUSINGS

  Hello dear bloggy friends! Another rainy blog of musings. I hope you don’t mind. So, what am I doing on this dark, rainy day? I am reliving nostalgia…of a youth wasted on a picturesque island on the coast of Maine.  I can remember buying my first record player in my teens. I don’t know what it was.  My younger brother was the music buff in the family. I had no time. I was working or reading. School. No dating though. Fast forward to today.     About a year or so ago I was introduced via YouTube to the BEE GEES! I love love love this group.  A  musical 🎶 treasure I missed out on in the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s and 90’s!!! How did I miss SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER?? Yes, I know my world was warped. Working while the world turned. Until I retired there was very little down time for me and when there was I read. Love to read. I’m sure I knew what was going on, after all I have lived in cities for most of my life after leaving the Island. But better late than never I ...

BEING GOOD TO ME

-
  Hello and thank you for stopping by! It’s raining here, has been for days and the rivers and streams are in overdrive with massive flooding. I hope that you are okay wherever you are. As for me I am a bit stressed these days so have retreated to knitting and writing. I feel somewhat better when I put myself first. I know that might sound selfish but I need to prioritize in my mind what comes first…having a heart attack or taking a break from life. Just joking. I think many of you reading this have developed coping mechanisms and strategies for dealing psychologically with life issues and unpleasant situations. I have dealt with horrible life circumstances by retreating into myself. I have suffered my whole life with social anxiety and a lack of self confidence. I hide it well but lately it is manifesting itself again. I rather think I am my mother’s child after all. My father had lots of self confidence and an extremely outgoing personality. He loved to laugh, sing, and was very ...
