For one brief moment, they are all well behaved. Izzy is in my arms and Pearl is on a doggie bed. Casper is in his kennel—door open The cats are doing evil.
This morning while I was holding Flicker to soak her foot, I reached down into my pocket for my phone. Heck, I had 20 minutes to kill. Then I heard a bird song and I realized how much these devious little devices disconnect us from nature. The natural world is under assault and so many people never even look around at the wonders right in front of us. I spent my 20 minutes talking to my horses and dogs. Then walking back to the house, I found 3 miracles of nature. Better than gold or silver or scrolling on my phone.
My parents, Roy and Hilda Haines. My brothers, Andy (older) and David. Note I am in a walking cast. This is the Christmas I was run over by a hay ride. I’m not kidding. It broke my leg. I think this was 1967. Dig those high water pants and dark socks. A fashion icon.
