"God's In His Heaven...

...All's right with the world!" - from Pippa Passes, by Robert Browning.


The colors streaming together were just beautiful.


This was taken the same day, to the right of the photo above, only about 10 minutes later.  The wall cloud with the horizon below just looked spooky and melodramatic.  Love it.  Our God is an awesome God...

Emmy, Dinah, Buddy, Flint & Echo...

Random photos of the animals...


Emmy, nested in the stroller on a cold day. 


Dinah, enjoying the warmth of the stove. 


Dinah, contemplating the snow.  



Buddy considers his chances of getting a treat...


Naptime!


Stealing Flint's favorite spot. 


Flint in his favorite spot!


Echo and Buddy share their futon - notice the open windows...the wood stove heats so well we have to keep windows open or we'll all cook.


All three dogs lined up by and in my sewing room door.

Christian Entertainment...and Buddy...

Christian is as entertaining as always when he sleeps...

On the bed next to my sewing table.  Note the white sheet on the bed - its to keep the comforter under it clean.  When company comes, I whip the sheet off and everything looks pretty again. No dog or cat hair showing! 


On the chaise lounge chair, which if you notice the ball - is where the dogs like to be.  Christian and Dinah both like to take over.  


He gets on our bed before I can make it, knowing we will leave him be in a bundle of blankets.  Usually, the heated mattress pad is on, too. 

I took this shot because it is one of the few relatively normal sleeping positions. 


But then, he did this...


Note the tongue sticking out - you'd think he was dead...


You can barely see him, but he's stretched out at the top, lightly touching Buddy with his paw.


Christian has loved Buddy from the beginning, and Buddy likes him, too.
