So sorry to hear the news of your dog. They life such fast lives. I’ll throw some tennis balls in remembrance of your dog.

My two love to chase balls and play. I spend a lot of time with them but it will never be enough.

Two weeks ago I had to put down my beautiful Black Lab. A cancer, similar to the one that took my late wife three years ago, took my faithful dog from me. I still have my two Yorkies but they are not fetchers and revel in lying in their beds instead of chasing balls. I’m only comforted by knowing she lived a happy life and didn’t suffer too much pain. Like all Labs she was full of energy to the end and her ashes are in an attractive box in my living room.

Thank you for the kind words regarding the pictures I make. They are the offspring of a labor of love — of riding the Vespa and photography. It’s easy to find good things in the midst of joy.

Right now as I write the wind is banging a bird feeder against the window. I’ll have to venture out into the cold to remove it and at just after midnight it’s an adventure I don’t relish. Sort of the way I’ve been feeling about venturing into the cold with the scooter!

Best wishes to you and yours Len.

Len here,
what a wonderful lovely day.

Being grateful of the simple things is key to life I think, your pictures are magic and really fit your words very well.
Keep riding the Vespa and being happy with what life brings.
all the best from a quite yet regular reader of SITS
regards LEN

It rose to 30F this afternoon. Balmy by your Alaskan standards.

Psalm 107 verse 1. A popular prayer at Thanksgiving.

Our temperature was about the same but the icy roads had a layer of fresh snow. Actually, very nice riding day….

Very nice reminder to be thankful and not focus on what you don’t like.
