My Guidepost for Early March
We do indeed have control over our destiny.
It just takes a lot of work.

there are sure to be more springs.

Spring is making up for lost time. I turned around and the apple tree was blossoming and I'm pretty sure that they weren't open five minutes previously! What a delight life is...enjoy your week ahead, dear friends, and may we laugh no matter what life throws at us.
When we contemplate the globe
as one great dewdrop,
flying through space with other stars
all singing and shining together as one,
the whole universe appears
as an infinite storm of beauty

One year ago, I went on craigslist and found this:
The first time I'd checked for a pup since our heartdog passed and I found not only the breed mix and color I was hoping for but, after texting with the breeder, she was going to be available on the perfect date!
The stars and the planets were in perfect harmony...meant to be!
Because of the dog's joyfulness,
our own is increased.
It is no small gift.
It is not the least reason why we
should honor and love the dog of our own life,
and the dog down the street,
and all the dogs not yet born.

In loving memory of my heart dog. Gone a year now. I'm happy knowing she's chasing frisbees in heaven.
The finished menagerie!
Three are traveling to New Mexico. Four are heading to California.
I will say it again, I don't know how my grandma made so many (probably 30) and retained her sanity. They were a labor of love. Definitely a labor. Only love let me finish.
They are just far enough in the rear view mirror that I'm making one more for an extended family grand-little and not dreading it. It's possible that sewing one at a time might be more fun than creating them via assembly line. I guess I'll find out!
