Smooch is her same wonderful self, Alex has a championship tail and “no news is good news” with respect to your other family members. I also completely understand your malaise and am fighting the same. Last week I spent some time in the stunning red rocks areas of northeastern Arizona and southeastern Utah. It reminded me what a blip we humans are in Earth’s history. While we may cause untold harm to other people, animal beings and the biosphere in the short term, those rocks, water, sky and the basic fabric of life will survive us. I’m taking a long view now and find that a comfort. I also sporadically get involved, but then withdraw so it doesn’t take over my life. And find pleasure in everyday things, friends, beauty. My goal is to follow Ed Abbey’s advice to immerse myself in the good so that I can outlive the bastards.

I mounted them to a board and framed it in old barnwood. It will likely fade some now that it's outside in the bright light, but I still love it.

To me, the chewed edge of the coverlet is charming, and that photo of your fur babies looking with unbelief at the attacking bugs is priceless! As for Alex's tail...it's magnificent!

I absolutely love writing so much, that a dear friend whose dad passed away asked me if I'd be willing to write his obituary? I jumped at the chance...so I guess I can add that to my list of things I do? Besides cleaning saddles, tack, writing obits and now back to blogging. Since I can't embed Facebook anymore to the blog...I make sure I go to the bottom and share it on my FB page. I may get criticized for what I write by my folks....but I'm the one in menopause not them and I need an outlet to vent. I'm so happy to see you writing again!!

I checked your blog every day looking for an update, thanks for this one. The blahs have hit everywhere; it's hard to remain upbeat and optimistic given the current 'leadership'.
