AMELIA

Being a Gemini means that i can change my mind a lot, and i do!
I constantly go back and forth between
contemporary and old, the past few days i was feeling nostalgic i guess. I think because Easter is close and i think of my family. Above all, family and health are precious to me. This is named Amelia for my grandmother, whom i only remember by photos, but i live in the house that she lived in and i feel her with me all the time!

THE THREE AMIGOS (kinda!)

These are our three dogs, actually, the jack russell is mine, his name is Ike, the miniature long haired dachsund is my daughter's, his name is Iggy, and the boston terrier is my parents, his name is Duke. I live next to my parents so they all share the same yard. Ike is old and is almost blind, he doesn't like to be bothered, and he is my buddy!! Iggy bothers him a lot...so he just tolerates it and growls a lot! Iggy is the sweetest and most lovable dog ever BUT he is BIG BIG trouble, he is only 2. Duke is just goofy and pretty much likes everybody and is very good friends with Iggy! This is what i have to contend with, but i do love them and they always make the day exciting!!

PERENNIAL

Still trying to coax spring here into my backyard, yesterday it was a wonderful 60 something degree day, today torrential rains, 40's and colder weather is coming. I just felt that if i concentrated on good , positive and spring thoughts, maybe it will help! The colors of this chalcedony feel so peaceful to me? What do you think?
