Dogs. Dawgs. Other critters. Life as Oliver Wendell Douglas. Live heirlooms, both flora and fauna. Self-sufficiency. Suffering not a fool to live. Land stewardship. Turnip trucks, and those who have not fallen therefrom. Training things. Growing things. Search and rescue. What is this bug and what is it doing under my desk light? Embracing the reality that Nature Bats Last.

Snapshot Sunday: Bones on Blue
None of the photos I got can do it justice.
The crown of this ancient sycamore against the deep blue sky pulled a gasp from me today.
Mingo Creek County Park, in Washington County, PA. Maybe the best park in Western PA.

Druidic is well stated. In his column of December 12/09 (originally published October 09 in the Irish Voice)in the Irish Central, Cormac McConnell writes of the Full Moon over County Clare and goes on to talk of a man who read fortunes from the leaves of his sycamore tree.

That's lovely. And it almost looks like a summer sky....
ReplyDeleteHi, Heather, I'm not actually anonymous, I am Anne Stewart. I was lucky enough to adopt an ES through NESR about 10 years ago. He was "Beau" and is now "Fergus" and of course is one of the Best Dog Evers. I found your blog through the NESR. I had been absent for a while and had no awareness of the ONB. Your posts have made me weepy. ( Also I have fallen in love with Barry White and Cole...) I only wish that I was in a position to adopt more, but Fergus is very happy as the Only Boss Dog. I wanted to let you know that I am the one who has been cruising your blog on 2/2/10 just to let you know. Thank you for all of your work. Your writing is exceptional!

Hey Heather, I lost your email address a while back. Came across this article about some research going on here at the UW and thought you'd be interested.
