Big Eli...A Pretty Girl...A Beautiful Lady

Dearest friends,

Here it is time to plant a garden, and our whole five acres needs mowing! The yard is covered in knee high weeds and grass, mixed in with Ajuga and tiny little blue Quaker Ladies, all in full bloom...that I can't bear to mow down. Every where I look there is a major job waiting...and I feel like a run down clock that needs winding. 

There is also lots to post about...lots to tell you! So, I will begin with Eli...

Eli is grieving over Weetie. He has such a sad look in his eyes, and has been so quiet, like it's no longer fun to bark and run from porch to porch chasing boogers away. We have shown him extra attention but he looks at us like something is not right. We talked about and wondered if another dog would help Eli...

First, I'm sure you all know that our little Weetie can never, never, be replaced. We miss her more with each passing day. I think sometimes it takes a while for the shock of death to pass before reality and missing one, sets in and has it ever!  We miss her so much!

Friends, almost like it was meant to be, we got an opportunity to get a four month old, Female, Great White Pyrenees puppy. On Easter Sunday we drove to a farm in Lexington to get her...

We brought "Ellie" home to Eli...

Eli has not shown any great excitement over Ellie, but in time I think her will love her and appreciate her.

In fact, a couple of times I've caught Eli looking at Ellie with his tail wagging, when they were together in the goat lot. He didn't know we were watching. 

How could he not fall in love with such a pretty little girl! She is adorable!

She is definitely a cutie pie, and smart too! Been a while since we tried house training a puppy...I think maybe we've forgotten how it's done. Whew!

Well, how about going from a cutie pie to a beautiful lady...

Most of you know my sweet daughter Lynn, and that she makes journals.  Hope you don't mind my bragging a little.

One of Lynn's journals, Poetic Rust, was selected for publication in the spring 2021 issue of Art Journaling magazine by Stampington. 

Lynn has been journaling regularly since her early 20s. In the past few years she's begun to make her own journals and has incorporated more art journaling. You can visit Lynn at www.abitofbirdsong.com  

I have not seen the magazine yet. Of course, there is no such thing as buying that type magazine in our little town of Louisburg. 

Like I said...weeds and Ajuga...

weeds and little blue Quaker Ladies. We need to mow!

and I just can't let spring pass with showing the giant snowball bush...

The blooms are just beginning to open here, and on the pink Azaleas too, so I'll be back with another picture. 

Thank you so much for visiting, for putting up with me, and for your friendship. 

Love,

Henny
