Wildflowers and More Chena


The wildflowers are finally coming up... cheery sentinels of Spring. The cherry trees are just starting to blossom out and I've seen hepatica and wild violets and Dutchman's Breeches... very beautiful.


I had to make a list of the many, many things I miss about Chena... it helps a bit to do that... first is, her beautiful velvet ears; next, how she walks me to the coffee pot and computer first thing in the morning. Next, how she barks to keep me on schedule and not lollygagging about in here. Next, hearing her nails clicking in the night as she looks for me. All dog lovers can relate to the memories and the loss. Especially I am grateful to have been able to know her. Sometimes we take them for granted. Hopefully they can take us for granted, too.
