Yesterday morning as my husband and I arrived at work, we noticed a box sitting underneath the picnic table in front of the building. I said, "What the heck is that?" Then out comes this beautiful yet very thin, deep orange kitty and proceeds to rub her head against our legs. I said, "Oh no!" I can't stand to see strays and had already rescued one about 4 years ago from the same place. Needless to say, we named her Sierra and took her home. She is a very sweet and gentle kitty and just gorgeous! She has tabbey markings on her face and front legs and a fluffy tail. Our animal shelters and cat sanctuaries are always filled to capacity. I couldn't stand the idea of this little lady being homeless.

My husband and I will be out of a job soon as the company is moving South. I have been trying so hard to save money and now I have to make a vet apointment for the new arrival. Oh well, a new sweetheart to love and treasure. She is fed, safe and loved.

For so long I have waited and now it is here in all its splendor. Green things are sprouting in the garden, the weather is finally pleasant. Spring has arrived!

Almost Valentine's Day. Wishing you all a world of love and laughter!

It's almost christmas. I have spent quite some time wrapping presents with beautiful paper, bows and tags. I feel like an elf! I love picking out special gifts for family and friends. I love the gatherings filled with laughter and love, the houses all lit up and decorated. So magickal.

This will be our first Thanksgiving without my Dad and it won't be easy, but he will be with us in our hearts. Family gatherings, laughter, and love. Dad taught us the true value of love and joy. I am thankful for all the wonderful moments he shared with us through the years. I am thankful for everyone and everything in my life. Wishing you all a peaceful holiday filled with love.
