It’s Halloween Season

Having a border collie as my alter ego has always been useful and fun, but never more so that at Halloween. All three of my dogs have been black and white, though Tula had a little brown too.

This color scheme lends itself so beautifully to the imagery of this season.

 

And blends beautifully with pumpkin-orange.

Even in disguise, we’ll always recognize that tail!

Even an alter ego needs her own familiar–a cat just won’t do, so an owl it is!

Happy Halloween from Ashley, Pumpkin, Lucy, Tula and the owls

Country Girl

You can take the girl out of the country, and I have been gone for close to 33 years now, But you can’t take the country out of the girl.

My heart still lives there, and my eye always lives right next door.

I can’t pass a dewy meadow without admiring the night deposit, no matter how impatient the dog or urgent the need to exercise. 

I can hold as still as a thirsty Swallowtail,
