Yesterday, Jane shared the information with me for Don Walsh’s upcoming services. It was a Facebook post from Homestead Veterinary Hospital, and I don’t do Facebook, but I got a screenshot. Below is the link to the obituary and information.

Seems appropriate weather for the way I feel, but it is also Valentine’s Day, and I was very fortunate to spend it with my Valentine. Alas, I did not take many pictures today. Harry has gone to bed early with his sidekick, Weedy, so I snapped a photo of them with my phone just now!

The day began with Eddy rampaging out at dawn to meet three coyotes in the south pasture. I heard yips, and looked out to see Eddy running from a trio of coyotes. I clapped my hands, and the coyotes stopped chasing Eddy, but Eddy turned and watched them until they departed. He would not come when called, of course. There wasn’t much light, so I only got one pretty bad picture of two coyotes in the septic drain field on their way south.

Niece Rachael is a wildland firefighter, and although she lives in Montana, she is currently working in Alabama, doing prescribed burns. She sent pictures, which are always dramatic! What a life she leads! My brother, Jamie, her father, had the nickname Jamie Danger at Yellowstone, when he worked there. Jamie is echoed in Rachael’s gutsy lifestyle.


The horses were wet but content, with shelter in the shed and plenty of hay.
Birds were plentiful, but pictures are meager today.





Roscoe had the right approach to this wet and miserable Valentine’s Day…

Be safe, be well, be kind, be grateful – we need the rain as well as the sunshine. Slava Ukraini! Peace…
