And, it’s that time again. Thank God for that…

We can breathe easy, all is ok with the World. George & Gracie are back. See more photos of the Swans here and the morning’s walk here.

Sully’s Great Adventures

Sully’s Day 3 with Grandpa. (Grandpa is still recovering from Day 2. Story pending.)

Off-leash.

Sully’s olfactory receptors gone wild.

Before I could catch him he was into it.  All of it.

Bird Poop + Rotting Fish Heads + Found Egg Yolks = Dry Heaves = Vomit.

Here’s Sully now, purring like a kitten, while Grandpa gets ready for work.


Notes:

1) More pictures from this morning’s Cove Island Park walk here and here.

“Now a year ago I put you a very similar video, but I’m telling you it’s not the same. Here you will see how a pair of blue tit examines the new home, builds the nest, lays the eggs and cares for the young. Don’t miss a detail” 🐣. 📹 Nest Box. pic.twitter.com/4S57xWigtV

Thank you

there’s something that paintings and other created objects can do to give you some relief

Here I was, I thought, living.

Things were better at home when a chicken roasted in the oven or eggs cooked in a hot buttered pan… Cooking was a meditation, I thought. It anchored me in my body—here was my hand, holding a knife, slicing through celery. Here I was, standing on the black and white kitchen tile of my first apartment in Brooklyn, listening to records, making dinner. Here I was, I thought, living.
