I’d like to thank all of you who spend time reading my blog, looking at the photos and so often commenting. 2022 has been a challenging year for some of us, and it’s nice to put thoughts out into the blogosphere, as a way of therapy or just to record events.

Thank you for understanding that sometimes I write for all of us, and sometimes I write for me alone. Either way I feel your support and I appreciate it so much.
Have a peaceful or chaotic holiday, whichever you prefer and then let’s all work on making the new year extra special. I’ll be around soon, you can count on more birds, more snow, more parks, more night skies, more walks, more musings, and more adventures. I can hardly wait.

Hugs to everyone.

Merry Christmas Dawn! I hope you have a good day today.
Your posts make me smile, laugh, gasp (those night sky photos!) and the occasional tear rolls down my face. Thank you for sharing and for you being you.

Merry Christmas, Sara! Thank you for coming along on the ride. I miss the old days when there were so many blogs written by dogs, or their people, but I appreciate that so many of us are still around. I hope you and your family have a good day too. I think of your sister and her children and hope they are growing up happy and healthy. I think of your dogs and wonder how they are…and of course I hope your career is going well. I know you make a huge difference in your students’ lives. Merry Christmas to you and your husband.

Thank you for being here Dawn. I was looking through the list of my blogs yesterday – looking for the ones about Poland to mention to the friend I visited there – and thinking I should get back to it, but the muse is not visiting these days. Merry Christmas!

Sometimes I wonder why I continue too…but it’s really a way to record things going on with me…plus birds.

He or she will come to you and find you when you won’t expect it. On August 5th I got up, still mourning our Norman (as I do now) and in the evening we opened the door and took our puppy Vader in. Who rescued who? He rescued us, as they always do.

I agree, the blog is a great place to put our emotions and to write out what is bothering us – and extra special when we get comments along the way. I love reading your blog and seeing your pictures. Here’s to a better year.
