I love it out there. There are so many trees on our small lot that it gives the illusion of being in the woods. My Dad's metal chair under the pines has become my place. I love to take my Bible there, and read, and talk to the Lord. I go out there almost every morning now, with my coffee, and enjoy the quiet of the morning.
I was standing talking to grandfather tree(that tall skinny thing in the middle of the sunlight)the other day. It was around noon, the sun was warm on my face, and that wonderfull lusty feeling of just being glad to be alive, washed over me. I looked down on the dappled sunlight in the grass, and there was my Domino boy. He was splayed on his side, wallowing in the warm sunshine, neading the air with his front paws, smiling up at me with his eyes half closed...We grokked.
Your backyard really is a magical place. Like your own little jungle almost. No wonder "Da Minnow" likes it out there. All the thrill of being in the wild plus warm shelter and regular meals.
ReplyDeleteHug grandfather tree for me.
