I was about as energetic as a slab of beef in a slow cooker for most
of the winter and didn't post much because I couldn't think deeply. Now
I have plenty to say and can't touch down for all the activity whirling
around me. Wedding quilts, book quilts, my little Dog Star cloth of
Clutch...travelling plans (mine)and wedding plans (kid)... a class on the Psalms at
rabbi school and a teaching I am going to do on Passover both at my synagogue and for my unlucky guests at our seder table...and then of course, should it ever stop snowing for long enough, get the yard clean and the Garden birthed.
I really do have something Big to say, a lot of thinking these past few weeks on
Grace's post about the notion of "coming into one's own." What this means to me. As soon as my heart rate slows down, I'll be back to this placeholder of a topic.
Meanwhile, to fulfill Julie P's last request (not coming out right but you know what I mean), feast your eyes on our little Molly. She is sweet and bouncy and looks at the camera like she's a teenage actress posing for paparazzi all her life:
look. Oh, just Look at this girl dog, this Molly, o and eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
ReplyDeleteand look at her. HER.
HER
She is a Her in temperament too. She howls when I wrestle w Billy and when he tries to show her how to wrestle, ("first I nip at your leg, then you try to swallow my head"), she pulls away and says "want to play Barbies?"
DeleteWhat a doll! Demure and flirtatious all at the same time...
ReplyDeleteI look forward to your thoughts on coming into your own. Grace's post has been on my mind too.
Its a good thing she is spayed.
DeleteA little coquette...
ReplyDeleteWho rescued who here?
Its never been a question.
Deleteshe is Soooooooo cute! adorable and a natural on camera, ha
ReplyDeleteIt is always surprising to hear her bark.
Deletei keep coming back because she makes me SMILE and SMILE and SMILE.
ReplyDeleteShe's truly a MedicineDog
She is still revealing herself. I forget that this really takes months
Deletewhat a beguiling look, Molly has you totally wrapped around her tootsies!
ReplyDeleteYou should hear Himself talk to her...like he is talking to a little girl in a pink party dress. Billy just rolls his eyes and walks out of the room
