Fresh air always perks me up and gives me a sense of renewal. Lately I've even started taking short car rides with Poppy just to escape the house! Hopefully when my back is better, we can do the walks again.<br /><br />Take care,<br /><br />JaneBlondie's Journalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12988377413260331618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201144666881866355.post-78097474464921358572021-01-14T13:44:06.411-08:002021-01-14T13:44:06.411-08:00Long stretches of dark days were one of the things...Long stretches of dark days were one of the things I don't miss about my home state of Michigan. Here in NC there are less of those, but the summer heat and humidity can be brutal. I guess most places have their good and bad aspects. I do know that I want the change of seasons wherever I live. <br />Cuddling with your kitty sounds like a wonderful way to pass the time.Happy@Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15748146424809856063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201144666881866355.post-82743429585066881832021-01-09T10:43:57.379-08:002021-01-09T10:43:57.379-08:00I may not like each season here in Central New Yor...I may not like each season here in Central New York (heat and humidity-ick, I'm looking at you), but fall and winter and the change into each? I do love that! I just keep hauling myself out of bed each day to go for a walk, and then hope the momentum keeps me going.

Probably because I don't have anywhere to go other than the library to pick up books or Ella's horse lesson or walks at the forest preserve. I am enjoying the peacefulness and the snow. For many years I didn't but now I am and it is nice. <br />I love that you had the forest preserve to yourselves on New Years Day. :) Kari https://www.blogger.com/profile/02492014448139890827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201144666881866355.post-9096242322103610992021-01-07T22:19:21.500-08:002021-01-07T22:19:21.500-08:00I definitely miss changing of the seasons since he...I definitely miss changing of the seasons since here everything pretty much looks the same all year, though in winter, if people plant gardens, then there are flowers to brighten up the scene. I'm definitely sick of seeing garbage everywhere I go so could do without that. Definitely prefer milder weather for the necessary walking I do every day. Summer heat of 120 F makes it not so desirable for outdoor activities. We've had lots of clouds lately and with tinted windows that can make things seem dark. My mood has been contemplative lately with everything that's been going on over the past year. Sorry to hear you've had a problem with the vet's office. All the things you're doing, I'm doing, too. Take care. Stay safe and warm.Tammy@T's Daily Treasureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01474928708908027789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201144666881866355.post-54580818459045386822021-01-07T21:55:06.999-08:002021-01-07T21:55:06.999-08:00We don't get too many dark days where we live....We don't get too many dark days where we live. Lots of sun. We do get our four seasons here which I like. Actually I would love a few dark, snowy days. I keep looking at our forecast but nope, not yet. We usually get a couple of snow days so it'll happen eventually. It is cold here though. Sorry about how you were treated at your vet's office. People are so angry and stressed out and I'm afraid it's probably not going to get better any time soon unfortunately. Yes, what happened at our capitol was a travesty, those people should be ashamed of themselves. I know I am embarrassed for them since they don't seem to have the good sense to be embarrassed for themselves.

I have been busy though and that helps, as do walks. As someone who lived in California and Arizona for a total of 23 years, I can tell you that you probably would miss the seasons. We are living back in Utah and I am loving the cold and snow after so many years without it. I hope you stay safe and warm and well my friend. Praying for healing for our country and all of our broken hearts.

This year with the nation and the world as it is, in such uncertainty it has doubled or tripled our stress. If not for my faith I could not get through any of this, but each day I draw strength from the Lord. I am weak but he is strong. <br />Having a new puppy in the house has been keeping me pretty busy. She is a hand full, but also a joy. We do have jealousy issues going on between the puppy and Butchy, but I think with my help they will become great friends in the end. Old dogs do not like to share their Mom or their toys and they don't like being pounced on or nipped at and that is just how puppies play.<br />Well, that what is going on around here . . . it does keep me busy and helps the time fly through these grey and dreary days of winter. <br />Sending warm hugs your way,<br />Connie Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08187302890702147585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201144666881866355.post-87856103325304541432021-01-07T15:54:56.445-08:002021-01-07T15:54:56.445-08:00I'd miss the change in seasons if I lived some...I'd miss the change in seasons if I lived somewhere else.

But I think you understand why I have to say hello, that I read your post and am thinking of you. Cocooning here too, yesterday was our 4 year anniversary of coming home, began so happily, ended so sadly. Hoping for better days ahead.

Can only do so much, but what little I did felt great. ~ For light in my life, I read my Bible and other uplifting writings, I pray, I watch you-tube. Right now I'm watching 4 little Grimms Fairytales. Gardening shows inspire me as do many other types of shows on you tube. I want to focus on the good, and move forward.

Freedom is such a beautiful privilege that fellow citizens have given their lives for us to have in this country. It saddens me when people like yesterday disrespect our freedom and abuse it. I am sorry you had a Vet issue too. Not a good way to start out the year for sure. Hope as we moved forward in this new year things will improve. Have a great rest of the week. xoxoJunkchiccottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13312068546640480844noreply@blogger.com
