Love knows neither clock or calendar
Love is not bound by place or even by touch
Love is before we met and beyond our being
Love is the crane who patiently waits and the snail who’s never late
Love is the unicorn prancing in the moonlight glowing
Love is the song made visible
And the silence in between
And love is the redbird in the sky
Upon a feathered wing
Love is the honeyed treasure of the pollen searching bee

Love is a whisper that journeys in the breeze and finds its way to the very heart of me
Love is the silk that weaves miss spider’s web
Love is the lace crafted of cotton thread
Love is the hand that holds the needle
Love is the needle that stitches the cloth
Love is in the breathing
And in the letting go
Love is pure and gentle
As soft as the falling snow

Love is September’s brightest yellow
Love is October’s bold tangerine
Love unfolds in twilight
And warms with the setting sun
November love is deep wine red and readies the soul
For December’s gift that is yet to come…

Love the poem, love the photos! Great to see you back! Those are some mighty photogenic dogs and this was the first time I met Miss Fred who I’m willing to bet rules the roost over the pups. What was outside the window that caused the dogs to line up? Squirrel?

Thank you, thank you! Nice to be back! You cannot imagine how many blurry photos I have that make no sense at all 😂. I should gather those up and do something with them. That’s real life. You wouldn’t know anything about that, would you?! Miss Fred gets everything she wants when she wants it and no arguments. It was the UPS truck making a drop off at the neighbor’s house. They were all very concerned 😂. Squirrels do inspire the same kind of reaction, though. Also, I wanted to share with you that I lost Ellie back in the spring. She was a one of a kind girl. I still miss her. Thanks again for the encouragement. Can’t wait to come catch up on Max and his shenanigans or those are yours and Max is the good one 😄.

Miss Fred has that bossy but sweet cat look and I’m sure she has a certain tolerance level for dogs and they are in trouble if they push the envelope. I mourn with you the loss of Ellie. If only science could devise a way that our doggies could stay longer with us; their lives are always too short. I imagine the UPS driver, seeing all those dogs faces looking so intently at him/her would think twice about making the delivery. Oh, and you’re right, Max is the good one around here, the rest are incorrigible.

She is indeed formidable, especially for such a small cat. She’s only about 5 pounds. Thank you so much. If only science would…. I have had drivers drop and run when Bo gets worked up at the window 🤣. It’s a sight to see and if they only knew that he’s a big softie. It’s just that truck! Keep up the good work Max!

Tiny cat! But it’s the size of the fight in the cat not the size of the something or other…I never got that quote right anyway. Bo is super photogenic – love that picture of him – but I understand how he could intimidate if he suddenly appeared without warning.
