We have a training day each year where we invite the puppy clubs from the surrounding area to come out and let the dogs see horses, chickens, and whatever else we can round up, so they can learn to ignore them.

My guide dog may have at least chased him.<br />The house I grew up in always had mice. I could hear them scurrying around in the walls at night. It used to freak me out and I couldn't sleep. I would be sleeping in our basement and they would be up above my head, in the ceiling.<br />Thankfully there aren't any in my house now, but now I have a cat, an indoor cat, who would probably enjoy the challenge and the disturbance.<br />I used to find doing dishes highly soothing and meditative.<br />Not quite so much now.<br />Thanks for the description of that rainbow picture. I am loving those lately.Kerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07162949369536716651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6085311167627297994.post-4597118189969199362015-10-13T23:23:57.760-06:002015-10-13T23:23:57.760-06:00Thanks for asking; I should have at least put in a...Thanks for asking; I should have at least put in a link.(https://www.lds.org/general-conference/sessions/2015/10?lang=eng) Twice a year, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints holds a conference, where the leaders of the church speak to the worldwide church membership.

It makes me feel safe, secure, and comforted. And having the time to savor the simple daily tasks is indeed something I love. Too many days we have to rush through the motions of life by necessity (or at least the necessity we make for ourselves) and there is not time to truly enjoy.
