Beauty...

It is said that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

I understand completely.

I see beauty everywhere, every day.

Even as I duck my head and slip through the kennel gate on the way to the "Poop Pit". 

I'm fortunate to do this twice-daily as part and parcel of the normal,

routine sled dog chores.

I smile at nature's gift of snow art, perched artistically for me to view.

God does that for me...

He likes to make me smile at the littlest delights. 

And I adore my Heavenly Father...

for that sense of humor and wit. 

I pray I never miss out on the simple pleasures of life. 

Those that make me smile. 

And see His beauty.

Little Rune on the Run

Saturday night always whispers a sense of excitement.

This past Saturday was no different.

Little Rune was on the run.

It's not the first time...

Since he first arrived this summer, along with Sookie and Jackson,

he has always been the one to slip out and "explore".

Usually Russ catches him with one or two tries, puts him back and all order is restored. 

However, Saturday night was different.

And we decided Rune has always been different...smaller...smarter.

So...he is now loose on the farm.  Free to roam.

He's set up shop just inside the barn, and hangs out with the cows during the day.

And they seem quite happy with the situation.
