I love and live with lots of animals. I'm a believer in equality, spirituality, metaphysics, and a new perspective. See my blogs: peacewithmylife.com or my business site, EmbersOfLife.com
Almost two years ago, a couple of months after our beloved Nutty passed on, my husband and I decided to get another dog. The family felt very off-balance, just wrong. I am allergic to dogs, so our breed choices are limited. We searched local shelters, and no non-shedding […]
The seasons were briskly changing from quite hot to a hard freeze in one week. I had to bring in all my garden. What wasn’t ripe would have to sit on the window sill to finish.
