Easter Greetings

Happy Easter.
Enjoy your leisure time if just relaxing or with family and friends and if you are travelling, stay safe on the roads.

The young mother-to-be loved the little rabbit in its basket of tiny Easter eggs. I forgot to get a clear photo of it.

Here is one of Spitzli a couple of years ago in keeping with the Easter Theme sending puppy love your way.

Is there more to life than writing?

Sometimes I wonder what life would be like if I peeled off my writing layer  the way I did my nursing layer, my farmer layer and my clerk layer. Would I reach the core and find only lead there? Or would I find a perfectly formed gold nugget?

I don't want to know. It's too soon.

So, with my husband, I'll travel ... searching for fascinating  settings and quirky characters. I'll eavesdrop on conversations to capture different voices, take note of impossible situations, and I'll write.

But first, I'll stop to smell the roses,

so sweet after rain. Their petals fall one by one. I'll save them as potpourri. 

and I'll pick up my knitting needles.  There's joy in physical  creativity, too.

I'll play with Spitzli on the beach

 

and take her to visit my Aunty.

 

With the onset of autumn, to be followed by winter,  the time has come to rewrap myself in writing. Time to think.

 Now is not the time to discover if there's more to life than writing, nor to discover my core.

 

 

 

 

 



 

 

 

Spitzli's progress.

Spitzli had her stitches out today. She was so brave and the vet so gentle, I didn't even flinch. Her orthopaedic surgeon, is very happy with her progress and said she isn't in any pain. However we must continue to keep her quiet - no twisting or sudden turns- for a few more weeks.

This mini Schnauzer thinks her leg has healed and is anxious to reclaim her active life so we might find the next two weeks a little trying.

On her 2nd Birthday

Spitzli's knee reconstruction operation is over.
The vet said they were happy with the way things went. When she comes home she will have to be kept quiet. No running for six weeks, at least.
