his dark eyes can pierce my soul
his kisses, oh, they make me swoon
lulling me to sleep, we spoon
soft snores, puppy breath

Uh, yes, I sleep with this big lump. 175 lbs of love! 🐾 Maxwell, English Mastiff. #DOG is my co-pilot! 😉

dawning amber, silent morn
screaming tires, grinding spin
ripping through the frosted din
travelers beware

We had record breaking snowfall here in the Blue Ridge Valley. The official tally for my little town was 15 inches (38.1 cm). In a place where even a third of that depth can shut things down, I’m in no hurry to leave my cozy home. Bring on the hot cocoa and cinammon toast. Have a lovely Monday!

frosted winter white, the rose
blushes crimson through the night
clinging to petals, frozen,
forever in bloom

they will return in the spring,
dormant leaves, wintering,
when the days grow longer,
dawn’s chorus erupting

a caravan of refugees
treks a thousand miles
on the wings of kindness,
a new life waiting

When I’m not working, or writing, or taking care of my menagerie of rescue pups and kitties, I sometimes get the honor of becoming part of a caravan of kindness, transporting abandoned animals from shelters to their loving forever homes.
This weekend we have Sweetie and her seven puppies on deck. Our leg of the trip is the halfway mark of a nearly 1300 mile journey over 3 days for these beautiful souls. I am reminded that how we treat the outcasts, the refugees, the least among us, says a lot about our hearts. At least for today, kindness, in the hearts of several dozen people is alive and well. Doing my part to add a little kindness to this troubled world of ours. Peace and puppy breath! ❤️
