The first major blizzard of the season has dumped 18 inches of snow here, and Lacy and I are grateful that we can snuggle under the down comforter until Jeff puts the heat on and gets a morning fire started. We take our usual walk, though this time, it’s limited to the shoveled path along the patio. The vision of the back woods is magical when covered with snow. A visiting hawk is easily observed from the bare branches of an oak tree, as are the fresh coyote tracks heading up the slope, making this place breathtaking under the mauve morning light. There’s a newness apparent in the fresh cover, even as the end of the year approaches and final details to be seen to.
The next event for Lollypups is the Pre-Westminster Gala to take place February 11, 2011 and which we’re looking forward to. There will be new harnesses available and sweaters will continue to be reduced 15% from the on line prices. More details will be forthcoming.
The Misty Heart style will be featured in Modern Dog magazine, as a Valentine ’s Day promotion and modeled by our favorite bad girl, Daisy, who incidentally, was dressed in her holiday finery as she helped Emily and Chris host christmas festivities at their home in Albany. Lots of laughs, good food (minus the brie that Scooter once again managed to snatch) and mostly warmth and joy as I watched the excitement my youngest exhibited in hosting her first family holiday with both her future in laws and us. I observed the glow on the face of my first born, as she reveled in her imminent role as a mother. I watch Lacy sleeping peacefully in a nearby corner, Scooter tucked into Jeff’s lap and Daisy on the other side, exhausted from all the activity. These moments are the most precious. I welcome 2011 for all it’s newness and fresh beginnings, like the snow that covers the property, and the expectations of the added joys to the Liebo life, wedding, new baby………and all is as it should be. HAPPY NEW YEAR!
