a hike and gun shots (a rant)

this weekend we did a small hike in arcadia state park, it was lovely but i could not help be distracted by shots, yes gun shots from a firing range somewhere nearby. it made me dive deep into thought, i started to think about off shore driling, removing wolves form endangered species list, whaling( hunting of whales) allowing guns in national parks and not to mention many more. i feel somewhat confused and disappointed in this list, you see k and i feel misled. i believed that the things in this list would be protected by this administration, i believed that those things, the environment, animal welfare and so on was fundamentally democratic? did we not ask where he stood on these issues. please do not get me wrong there is so much i do agree with and understand that perhaps he( obama) must pick his battles but this list is sounding much more like it belongs to the tea party! and those are mean *@%&*^*!( oh man, i know but i just had too)

our first walk on the property and rain

it has been raining for days now, and i mean rain. river now runs through it, that is truly what is happening to our neighbors down the road, the river is taking over their house and any minute they will have to say goodbye to it( very sad). our car is on the other side so and we can not get to it. all this and i am happy we have moved here it is very special and we can not wait to share this new adventure with you but let's wait till things are a little dry.

a midwinter walk

I have been away from here for a while. I am sorry for not letting you guys know. I was unispired and our life is being disrupted a little. today i knew we had to get out and do the thing that always brings us happiness, fills our lungs with the freshest air and clears our heads like nothing else. K. took me for a small hike and walk by the river. it was beautiful exactly what all four( the dogs) of us needed! the weather has not been winter like and the sun is bright. tomorrow promises to be even nicer, so will we find ourselves on another path. K. has started a fire and an impromptu dinner party( potluck thank goodness) will take place in an hour! hope you are good!

ps. thank you dear friends for all your emails, i am here just a little quiet.
