LOVE. LIFE. LABS
I am constantly taking in the sights particularly along the Mount Vernon Trail where I love to run. I love that Trail. I’ve even been known to pick up my camera after a long run and head back out to capture birds, flowers, the Potomac, trees, front doors, windows, flower boxes, brick, stone, sticks and other things that caught my attention along the way. When I’m not at the beach, this is my happy place. My home. Nothing makes my home happier than Molly and Sam. Happiness lives here. No matter what the season–including Winter my least favorite–you will find the best of all things joyful when you watch labs swim, run, and yes even play in the snow. When you find a place, people, and pets that bring a smile to your face everyday or best yet create a smile on days you just can’t find one then you need to keep them close and have fun! Enjoy the life, the love, and in my case the labs that make it happen. Sometimes, the best things in nature and in life are right where you are I didn’t need to travel to Alaska or Taos, NM to hike and see bears in nature. All I needed was Winter, Snow, and a couple of Labs. Sam and Duke starring in this video and what appears to be a Grizzly Sighting in the snow.
FOR THE LOVE OF SUPER FOODS
a mysterious disappearance of the great grizzly, three sleepy dogs came in and quietly took their favorite spots for rest and relaxation; a chair, the couch, and a giant luv sac in front of the big screen. Let sleeping dogs lie, they say. They are exhausted, they say. They obviously don’t understand the love of a lab. This love story shows snow, friends, and frolick. And for a brief moment in time, sleep. Literally, just for a moment they slept until…wait for it…the refrigerator door opened and we opened the bag. No, not dog food. Kale. Yes, that’s right. In fairness, Molly and Duke stayed put. Sam on the other hand shot up from the luv sac and ran over to my sister and I as we sat on the couch. A test taste ensued with a variety of garden vegetables. First test…well, watch and see if Sam eats Kale. Does this loving, silly labrador named Sam really eat Super foods? Sam Loves SuperFoods
LOVE MATTERS MOST
In the end, this cliche’ still holds true so in my opinion when a cliche’ stands the test of time it proves to be truth. Such truth we hold to be self evident, that’s for certain. (My little nod to Lincoln the week before President’s Day ;-)) Even in the Winter–my not-s0-favorite season–I watch love happen in the snow. Even on mile 6 when it’s cold, cloudy, and I’m midway up the hill, I focus on the run, the scenery, the nature, the place that I love. And then, I can put it together in my mind and capture all of this in words and images. But in the end, it’s love for who, what, and why I run, write, and love people, places, and moments that matter most. Thank you for being here.
