6 AM, He/she shuffled through my yard
and across the street. Doesn't look healthy...
.
.
11 AM The yard is taking shape...
.
.
3 PM: I cross the Connecticut River
.
.
.
8 miles on Route 47: the farms are waking up
.
.
..
Plans in progress
.
.
..
for planting season.
In just a couple of weeks:
all this will be neat rows of green
.
.
.
..
.
I'm on my way to a friend's house.
.
.
.
..
Where I live, there are seven colleges nearby
but all around everything, it's farmland
,
.
.
..
and open spaces
..
..
.
I love living here this time of year.
.
.
.
.
..
And tonight
.
.
I settle in for the finale of 'Lost'
.
.
.
.
..
.
And lie on the floor with Stella,
And lie on the floor with Stella,
who had a good day
.
.
.
.
..
.
And look who dropped by to say hello and send love.
Hello my beloved darling Renee.
I know...
thanks for reminding me.
.
.
Love
kj
oh my was that a rat? Looks almost like a wombat......
ReplyDeleteYou live in a very nice area!
Have a nice day tomorrow when you wake up :)
♥♥♥
>M<
Did that furry one running across your lawn hitch a ride from your mum's place? Looks like you had a great day ... happy to hear Stella had a good too*!*
ReplyDeletelovely message from Renee, and wonderful pictures from a wonderful person
ReplyDeleteLooks like an excellent day all around. The roling farmland reminds me of my Grandfathers farm in Virginia. I miss that place...wide open, in the middle of nowhere.
ReplyDeleteGlad Stella is doing better. The expression says, "Do you REALLY have to take that picture of me???"
And by the way, what WAS the yard creature?
XXOO!!
Anne
Do you have water near you? Oh yeah, the park pond. That looks like a river rat!! Show him the way to Stella's vet :P
ReplyDeleteReally lovely pics. The sky for renee is beautiful. I would have thought of her as well.♥
It looks like you had a wonderful Sunday and I'm glad.
Now please go and have a fabulous Monday!
Talk to you later gator.
xo
Lo♥
good day marianne! so you're on your way to singapore. i can't wait to hear about your travels in person, perhaps in provincetown! i don't know what a wombat looks like: i didn't get the similarity with a giant rat until i saw this photo!
ReplyDeleteannie, i have no idea! i felt bad for it...stella and i indeed had a good day. i hope you too
mim, and a wonderful comment from a wonderful person. ♥
anne, i don't KNOW what that yard creature was. no clue. i never had farms in my life before moving here four years ago. i don't like the snow and winters, anne, but now...it's exactly right for me. i hope you had a good sunday and i wish you a silly monday. xo
hello ms studio lolo, i wish you a fine day also. those reports have been waiting for me--they must get done, but then i will be moving my shovel and spade around and i totally love doing that. have fun!
xoxo
What was that? It looks like a rat, or a very sad beaver! :) Beautiful pictures, kj. It looks a lot like Maryland does this time of year: green fields, rolling farms, gorgeous vistas abounding. The stuff calendar pics are made of! I'm happy to see that Stella looks much perkier. :) I hope you have a fabulous week, my friend! xo Pam
ReplyDeletePoor little furry guy.... perhaps he was just water-soaked.... let's hope so...
ReplyDeleteYou DO live in an absolutely gorgeous world.... and you captured it beautifully! I am so happy Stella is improving daily...
as we said, LOVE is the best healer - for anything.
Renee.....yes, she never leaves any of us and is always close by, watching, smiling and wanting us all to LIVE, to flourish and relish each day we have on this still-beautiul world.
Love,
♥ Robin ♥
That is one big rat! They never look too healthy when I see them. I once saw one in Central park and it had a hurt foot and a closed up eye, very sad.
ReplyDeleteThank you for taking us with you on your travels. Beautiful country. And beautiful Renee sky.
I have just started renting "Lost" on DVD and I am into the second season. I adore this show and will be very sad when I get to the end!
xoxo
P.S. I am glad that Stella is having a good day.
ReplyDeletexoxo
What is that thing??
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous group of pictures.
I think I love it there too.
You have to have something absolutely wonderful to make up for those winters.
Stella looks good!!! YAY!!
Hi Renee!
Have a wonderful week.
What is it a racoon? Looks like spring has sprung in your neck of the woods. Lovely to have all that space around you. Don't tell me about Lost, it doesn't air here until tomorrow!
ReplyDeletepam, a sad beaver. there's a story line! i thought of you this morning. i hope time is calling your name, in a good way!
ReplyDeletehello robin, is your sun out yet? jeez louise, you need all that vitamin d! yes, where i live is very beautiful, certainly this time of year.
annie, ah, i envy you watching lost from the start. get ready to get pulled in fast and deep if you haven't been already!!
hi marie, what great comments! there you are on one coast and i on the other. i imagine where you live is beautiful too. and no snow for you! email is a-coming... :)
hells, how could we be best-est friends and i not know you watch lost? see, that is a limitation of blogging!! i won't tell you. well i will tell you this: you will see juliette again, who is my favorite. i could be in love with her...
:)
Good grief - beaver or groundhog? Wait, I don't think groundhogs have much in the way of tails.
ReplyDeleteLove the morning ride. And so glad Stella had a good day.
Beautiful shots of where you live! and yes, Renee is like that, yes she is...Damn I miss her madly!
ReplyDeleteOh, Kj, I am pulled in and I am "in love"! I mean I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE "LOST" and John is my favorite, I also like Sawyer and Jack too :-), but I relate to John most. xoxo
ReplyDeleteP.S. Who is Juliette? Wait, don't tell me, I am sure I will find out.
ReplyDeletexoxo
How amazing was that. Love all the photos also...so serene and relaxing.
ReplyDeleteMissing Renee also
xoxoxo
When you see possums and/or coons moving about in the daytime, they're usually sick. Here, an epidemic pretty much wiped out the raccoons a few years ago. They were staggering and falling like so many drunks. The survivors wasted no time in repopulating the area though.
ReplyDeleteWhatever it was, it was on the way out, so that's good news.
ReplyDeleteLove the rural farm area. It's important to keep nature close to hand, I think. It is energizing. An Indian reservation is just a couple blocks away from me with mountain vistas and sussets that take your breath away.
My word verification is "velygmal" - sounds like organic produce. Let me know if you see any.
Kiss, kiss for Stella. She is a gorgeous girl.
Can I say a grateful thank you for sharing your journey? And that beautiful ending to the day? Thank you!
ReplyDeleteOh, my, how I miss that American farmland. Somehow it is deep in my soul. Here, we see water and sailboats and that, too, makes my heart sing every time. But farmland is at the top of my list... It's what I grew up on - in Germany, but still... You made me laugh with your comments this morning! And, guess what, I looked at the photo again and saw the dragonfly! thank you!! Love, Silke
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh what a beautiful post again kj.
ReplyDeletei loved going on this drive with you. it is so pretty where you live.
and why does renee always give me chills?
your photos are awesome too.
Good photos.I like it.
