It's a simply soulful afternoon here in Jackson. Atticus is sleeping under a shade tree. I'm reading and listening to music. Will is spending time in his garden. Life is grand.
Wildflower Will. |
"Welcome to my little patch of garden." |
For one mostly blind old dog, bliss is found somewhere between the wildflowers and the pumpkin patch. |
Will watching over the pumpkins. |
His squinty-tough guy pose. (The sun was bright and in his eyes.) |
Cosmos and other wildflowers. |
Where we do our best thinking, reading, writing...or nothing at all. |
“A quiet secluded life in the country, with the possibility of being useful to people to whom it is easy to do good, and who are not accustomed to have it done to them; then work which one hopes may be of some use; then rest, nature, books, music, love for one's neighbor — such is my idea of happiness.” ~ Leo Tolstoy
Chaos & order. |
Lovely. Thank you for sharing your day with us. We're watching the Red Sox!
ReplyDeleteYour garden is lovely--it's a wildflower meadow and i can see why Will loves to hang out and dance in it. And watching pumpkins grow is very rewarding--every day, there is progress! Sending only the best wishes to the three of you to relax, read, rest, read some more, dance a little, sniff a little, eat something tasty, read some more, repeat, repeat, repeat. . .
ReplyDeletePeaceful. Enjoy this beautiful day that we have been given. Much love to the Ryan clan.

Glad the three of you are enjoying your well deserved
ReplyDeleteR&R in such a lovely and serene setting. Will is quite the little gardener! Hope Atti is feeling better and his pain is greatly subsiding. We are finally seeing sun in our neck of the woods to enjoy for a few late afternoon hours. As always, thank you for sharing!

What else could one wish for than to be at peace with nature and all of His creations, large and small? Thanks for sharing...
ReplyDeleteSomewhere between a pumpkin patch and wildflowers...heh, heh...that Will struck gold. He should pursue a career in real estate. I'd buy.
ReplyDeleteHope your day was as picture perfect as it looks.
Sweet dreams to the Musketeers.
What a wonderful post, sweet Will how you make me smile. I feel the same way when I'm in the garden...enjoy :)

As much as I love and enjoy the Facebook page, the lengthier platform of the blog still holds the greatest appeal. Thank you for continuing to share despite recent frustrations with the intrusive communications you have received. ~ Kathy B.
ReplyDeleteDon't tell Will but his tough guy pose is adorable. Enjoy seizing the day

Cosmos and Will. Two of my favorite things to look at.
ReplyDeleteThank you Tom.
You all are very blessed to have one another!
ReplyDeleteHi Tom,
ReplyDeleteThe photographs of Will and nature are spectacular. I hope that everyone is doing well today.
Even though the wildflowers describe Will, I can't wait to see the fall flowers. Love to you Will from Kat, Heidi Schnauzer and Laci Schnauzer.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful nature with incredible canine companionship...perfect.
