Thanksgiving Daily

Here's a concise little video which explains what I'm trying to develop: having a sense of gratitude daily.

Check back tonight if you'd like to see some cute puppy photos. Nicki is ready to live with the man who will be her puppy raiser. (She's reliably housebroken now.) We will miss having her around, but we will not be puppy-less. This afternoon we get to meet the Guide Dogs for the Blind puppy truck to receive a 9-week-old male yellow lab. We will be his puppy raiser until he is ready to return to San Rafael for his formal guide dog training, typically when he is 14-18 months old. So stayed tuned . . .

Thankful thought: Thanks for the colorful fall leaves and for enthusiastic sweet puppy greetings.

"Twisty?" they asked, and recognizing she needed to be even louder, she ...

Ten Things of Thankful: Valentine's Day is in Spring Edition

Despite what the groundhog predicted, here in my neck of the woods we have been enjoying balmy weather. I think the nation needs a west coast groundhog to provide the local forecast. I've spent time in my backyard this week, pruning palms and roses, pulling weeds, and planting raspberries and lilacs. For those of you still buried in snow, I offer a hopeful glimpse of weather to come:
