As the sun came up.
Waffles (Buckwheat-coconut!), pineapple and sausage for Easter breakfast.
An Easter Robin…first Robin I’ve seen this Spring!
A little rib roast getting ready for the oven. Dinner will be prime rib, fresh horseradish, baked sweet potato, white beans and braised greens.
It is a beautiful morning. Happy Easter!
The Jeep excursion this day was a lunch time run to town for a few tidbits to tide us over the week end…and included a walk along the way.
Skies varied from puffy clouded blue to dark and ominous.
Headed for home, the dark and ominous were low and to our north and east..
Rain squalls showed…
…all backlit by the sunny, blue patches.
Weather.
Today, March 28…it is Karl’s birth day. It was some 7 weeks from his birth day that he came to be with me and his cat brother, Gus, but we always celebrated the day he was born as well as the day he came home.
It is also 16 weeks exactly since Bear’s first TPLO – his right leg surgery.
So today we celebrate Karl’s birth and Bear’s 16 week post op – right leg – a GOOD day!
AND…FedEx brought a gift to help in all…
Last week, I ordered 2 prints “on wood” from Simply Color Lab. Simply Color Lab is my go to lab for prints, gallery canvas prints and now prints on wood.
I am so very pleased with the prints on wood.
They made me cry, but with joy and with pleasure.
I’m not sure this is the best place for these…I think they need a space that allows a little more space…
I’ve found, that for me, sometimes I need to live with things for a bit before I know where they belong.
For now, these dear reminders of my dear Karl – they are in a good place.
Sixteen weeks for the right leg and Two and a half weeks for the left leg.
We had a good day of walks.
And time outside with Bob.
Today.
Just before 8:00 a.m. this morning on the front part of the loop walk. We aren’t walking the entire loop but the start and end are mostly flat and add some variety in view and smells for me and Bear respectively :) !
It felt brisk at 30F, just before sunrise – perfect for a morning, mountain walk.
52F…sunny, warm, a soft breeze high in the trees.
We walked. Walks are going well with Bear using both legs normally. He still rests most weight on the right leg when we stop but has been peeing off the left making me just a little nervous.
These last sunny days, he has resisted coming in after a walk and so have I.
Beardog in the sun.

Sunday…lazy and quiet. As I like it.
Me and the boys.
Puttering in the kitchen.
Shredded potatoes, “drained” in a ricer…
Shredded potatoes browned in olive oil and clarified butter in a cast iron skillet with the last of the corned beef.
Making mayonnaise.
2 minutes tops.
Mayonnaise.
Napping.
And napping.
Supper together.
Sunday.
