Sunlit

In the late afternoon, I noticed the sun was hitting a painting on a far wall in the kitchen. I knew it would disappear rapidly so snapped the shot. Its a painting I did some years ago of a river valley that we lived nearby. You will notice my dog is standing in the river - he was always in the picture!

Three good things:
1. A 2 hour talk with son on Skype in the USA having lived in the BVI for a year and before that, Zambia.
2. Got the lawns done finally - they were so wet, it took me over an hour.
3. "Sunday morning Coming Down" - Kris Kristofferson
You painted that maggiemae ....I am so impressed........it looks very professional from here! Sounds like your dog is no more so lovely to have a reminder on your kitchen wall. Good to talk...hooray for Skype!

@happypat I've got lots of lovely photos of him and others, Pat! Won't have any more - its too too distressing when they go!

@maggiemae I do hope Harry takes that on board when Tui finally goes.......I really don't think he can do without a dog but they are so tying when we go away....plus the fact that it's so distressing...we hopefully have a few years yet, Tui is 12 years old now & quite fit.

@happypat @maggiemae my sister had to put their 8 year old dog down due to diabetes and blindness getting worse and then for to be in pain. They did well for 2 years to give her a comfortable and happy life. They are missing Molly dreadfully and say no more dogs, but she has just Facebooked me said how sad they are. I hope they get another dog. 💜

@andreajoy @happypat I was so distressed for over a year after my two beloved dogs had died within 4 weeks of each other! Now I feel I could love to have another but could not see the pain of that decision on hubby's side!
