Spring Pics

-
I just wanted to share some pictures from this amazing place I live in. I've been driving around now that the weather is warmer and spring has come. Every time I go out driving, it's different!


The Erie Canal runs through the whole area. This is
where I take Foxy for walks. It's in the Village in Pittsford.
There is a walkway that goes for miles along the canal
and the canal flows through a bunch of towns. I find it relaxing 
and I enjoy the ducks swimming, birds flying around, people 
walking, running and bicycling





 Out in the countryside

A house and barn I thought was pretty





Here is a picture of Spring and Winter of the same Hwy
I took it around the same area. What a difference!






Mendon Ponds Bird Sanctuary.
Where injured birds live out the rest of there lives.
This is a picture of one of two Bald Eagles 
(they even have a Bobcat living there)

Life is a Series of Journeys and Adventures

I sometimes hear people talk about an experience that shook them. Like a death that made them realize that life is short. Or a loved one getting ill and it made them realize that they had to get there act together in some way or another. Throughout the years I have heard people say these things, but very few ever follow through. They do a few things for a month or two and then they forget about it and revert back to their old ways. Seems to be human nature. I've known very few that made a true effort to change what needed to be changed and made themselves and therefore their life better lived. Why do these people only realize these things when tragedy strikes? Do they not think of living their life to it's fullest before these things happen? I think people get caught up in the day to day tasks that they lose sight of what they want. And what IS living life to it's fullest? I think that's subjective. Everyone's fullest is different. I think very few actively seek to ...

Snapping out of it

Seems as though I've been in a weird funk the last few years...okay, the last 5 years. When I moved here I said no more re-painting furniture, sewing projects, hand-making ornaments and the such and I definitely wasn't going to start collecting anything again. I especially said no more hunting for "treasures". Well, as my life calms down a bit and I'm not working 50-60 hour weeks I seem to have the need to create!!! I guess it never goes away. And I have slowly come to realize that I love doing that stuff. It gives me joy. I've done some projects here and there and felt that "high" of satisfaction. I have snapped out of my all-work-no-play, project-less, life funk. Guess I'm just a project junkie...lol! Today I thought I would start on some Christmas decor. I know it's still early but I feel like in the past I have a ton of projects I want to do but before I know it, boom...Christmas! I wanted to do a pumpkin project for Halloween...

The Drive

My two "Road Dogs" as we headed down the  PCH  (Pacific Coast Hwy) in Malibu, CA. Left: Scruffy Coco, Right: Foxy Cleopatra As you know I moved across the country. Well I didn't fly, I drove. Myself, my best friend's hubby and his brother all drove across the US. Two cars packed to the nines, four dogs and three humans. I dove my truck with my dog and one of their's and her hubby and brother drove in their car with the other two dogs. Talk about crowded. My little Pomeranian puff ball (Foxy Cleopatra) didn't care where we were going, just that her mommy was there! Now my bf's little Yorkie (Scruffy Coco) had a little bit harder time since her mommy flew there a week earlier and she missed her terribly. But eventually it all worked out and we all made it safe and sound. It took us six days to do it. We drove for eight hours and then arrived at our destinations, ate and went to bed. We were exhausted at the end of each day, but...
