It's funny, the way the light knows just when to find you...
There is this enchanting time of day, about an hour before sunset, when the sun bursts through the trees and beckons me into its arms...
The sun rays called my name this afternoon. They entranced me into leaving my paint palette and just being...
Open the gypsy wagon door, and just breathe...
One of the most important creatures in my world, my fur baby - the one who dances with me everyday, who has licked my tears when I have been sad (like when Mister Lovee had his terrible car accident a few years ago) and the one who is also a huge part of my life, has not been feeling her best lately.
Oh this blonde babe, boy oh boy, she fills a huge part of my heart. I think she might even fill the entire upper right hand rounded section of my heart, because any thoughts of her not being in my life send pains through my soul that I didn't know existed...
I love her white spot.
She has been in our lives for almost 10 years, and in that time I became a dog person, I felt her soul, and we became bonded. And now, I am experiencing the same thing with her little brother.
Who knew that this sort of love for a furry family member burned so bright?
I had no idea.
And now, I can't imagine my life without them.
I think that working from home these last 3 years have made Baby and I even closer that close.
But today, today I am delighted to visit here with you because we had a good day. I am finishing up some painted treats and such, and Baby felt much better than yesterday, which makes us all happier than happy.
Baby, Matty and I spent the late afternoon in the gypsy wagon, under the warm sunshine.
Encapsulated in a moment of bliss and joy...
The sun rays were casting a delicious pink haze over everything they touched, whilst I dusted and added some spring flare to the wagon...
It was so peaceful and lovely...
It is Amazing, what light and color and warm air can do for the soul...
Lisa Lynne's tune played in the distance while Baby sat a few feet from the wagon entrance. And, wouldn't you know, she chose to sit right next to Saint Francis of Assisi...
I knelt down as I usually do with my fur babies, and I whispered, I love You.
I held my camera up to take a picture of Baby, and she smiled.
Melting my heart right on the spot....
This love. This furry family member love, is some kind of love, ain't it?
Some of you know just what I mean, I know it...
We could hear Matty being his wild child self. He was splashing his paws in the gypsy garden bath.
Such lovely moments today. I wish I could bottle them up. It is times like these that I am extra happy to have this virtual space to chronicle the beauty of a day and share it as well...
Matty kept Baby and I ever entertained with his nutty antics. He decided he wanted to have his own tea party and dragged out a tea pot I made a long time ago. I don't even know where he found it?
Oh, the barrels of laughs he caused us. What a hilarious lil' guy...
Of course, I didn't really give him tea. I wish you could meet him. Although, he can be a real meanie to strangers, so we will have to work on that a bit. But alone at home, he is so funny and silly and wonderful.
He has added much joy to our home.
And so, that was how the enchanting light led us to a beautiful afternoon, where we could savor a little slice of bliss, and then wrap it up and tuck it away as a beloved memory...
For now I must go and add the finishing touches to some creatures. Oh, and I hear paws!! OH, it's Matty at my feet!!! YAY!
I'll tell you a quick secret. When Matty is being hard to ahem train and or Love, because I tell ya, he's got a real mind of his own and doesn't like his personal space being compromised, I sing Maggie May (Rod Stewart) to him, But I sing Matty instead of Maggie and I take out and change some parts :)
Wake up Matty
I think I got something to say to you...
I know I keep you amused....but I feel I'm being used!
oh
Matty
I couldn't have tried anymore.
You lured me away from home
just to save you from being alone.
You stole my heart and that's what really huurrrtsssss
;) ;)
Silly, I know...
Off I go for now, but I will see you soon with fun stuff ;)

ps: Thank you beyond over the moon for taking the time to vote for me (I am not sure when voting ends). I was sort of embarrassed to even ask actually. But, I am so touched at your support and kindness and all around good attitude about the whole thing. I could cry I am so touched, I tell ya. I already have my award, found in you and your kindness, truly..... I don't care if I sound mushy, I am mushy, and it's the truth.
