Actually, not so still. With a burst of energy, Achilles romps in the yard as Stella watches.
Month: April 2015
Living gold
The male American Goldfinches are re-acquiring their brilliant summer plumage.
On guard
Little if any activity slips unnoticed past watchful Achilles and Stella.
Have a minute?
We always have a minute for you, Kendal.
Fascinated
Achilles was fascinated by the activity and the two dogs in a neighbour’s yard. He sat watching for over ten minutes. Then he lay down and watched for some minutes longer. He never barked, or whined, simply watched.
Greeting
This marvellous sight greeted me the other morning. I paused for a moment to appreciate, and give thanks, for being blessed with beauty and life.
Dinner is served!
From the smoker: back ribs, jalapeno cheddar sausage, potatoes transformed into potato salad. From the grill: romaine lettuce with bread crumbs. From the kitchen: Sliced and seasoned carrots.
In flower
Our Manitoba maple began flowering and I took a few minutes to study and appreciate the flowers’ complex structure.
Life is good . . .
. . . when you can roll in the grass on a mild day.
Return
Winter recently (and briefly!) returned, testing our resilience by throwing a few centimeters of snow at us. It created this beautiful scene.
