And believe it or not, I was struggling with ideas. So I decided to write about what ever was on my mind right now. Yes.. Right this second. It should be no big surprise to find out it happens to be Molly. So, today’s post is dedicated to her, my four legged furry child. What has she been up to the last few days..
Tonight, she is on my mind because she has been waiting patiently, to go up to bed. After I click post on this one, I am taking them both up for a long nap! For now she is chilling out and snuggled down in her newest blanket. I got the blanket for free after I spent an arm and a leg at Victoria's Secret this Christmas. It's super soft and both the dogs love it.
This past weekend, Molly (and of course the rest of us) took a trip to Lancaster. She was not happy with the trip, the change in location, the cold,the German Shepard next door, the clickity clop of horse shoes on the pavement (the Amish Horse and Buggies), the weird noises, the wind.. yup, pretty much everything. But hey, that's Molly for ya. Here she is after hearing the big dog next door barking. She's thinking that the dog may eat her.. she's probably right. It looks like a big mean doggy.
Again she is listening to the dog and distant gun fire from hunters or target shooters. This place just doesn't sound like home to her.
Molly is enjoying the ray of sunlight beaming her in the butt. There's nothing like a little ray of sun on your hinny first thing in the morning. Her paws were starting to get frozen from the frost, so soon after this I picked her up and stuffed her into my coat. Gosh it's nice to have small dogs :-)
Ahhh.. Much better to listen to the dog barking from in where it's warm and cozy. So that's where she ended up! On the couch in her travel blankets.. away from all those bad and terrible things that lurk on the outside.
Pepper gave her some company. Peas and Carrots those two are. Where there is one, you will surely find the other. Molly is now comfortable and at peace with her new environment. For now at least.
Maybe a little too comfortable! This blanket is quickly becoming one of her favorites for sure. I wonder how long before it looses its softness? So far its been washed several times and is still as soft as the day I got it.
Okay.. cuteness overload for me.. But I am obviously biased. I can't say it enough. We got so lucky that we found two dogs that get along so well and find so much support and comfort in each other. WAIT! This post was supposed to be about Molly.. Oh well.. I can't seem to write about one and not think about the other. Love them both so much!!
It's official.. I am clicking that post tab here in a minute and am off to bed.. I think Molly is ready. She is aware I am starting to move.
My art work incorporates a wide variety of subject matter, including landscape, seascape, cityscape, and still life images. My works are the product of a continuing process of exploration through which I seek to portray personal and visionary interpretations of my surroundings. My paintings are impressions of places and events from everyday life, an interpretation of my imagination, and personal responses to what I see and feel on a daily basis. More recently I have invested generous amounts of time into my landscape painting. I am surrounded by natural and man made beauty, which inherently presents itself in the tri-state area, and almost demands that I paint it.
Not everything is art. Art is not everything, but it comes close. Art is everywhere and all the time. Art makes you experience the beauty of the world, the people in it, and the places we call home. Art itself is so influential that it can tell stories, show feelings, and express passion or fury. Art exists in addition to language; expression of sensations and thoughts, revealing a way of thinking too subtle and delicate for words.
For me art requires love, honesty and perseverance. In return, it reveals some personal, non-analyzable, and creative untamed passion. For the public, art with its magnificent beauty, improves mood and health and builds better human beings and communities. It engages the intellect, softens the heart, strengthens the soul and frees the spirit.
