Beardog Point: aka Beardog sweet spot v1.2

Mid-October, Bear found the Beardog sweet spot.

Lately, as the weather has turned warmer, I’ve been letting him be and find who he is in this place with me.

Bear has found the Beardog sweet spot… the overlook to the game trail and the road. It is the spot that was Karl’s favorite to keep watch.

Today, after a busy morning in town which included a favorite walk behind Costco, we came home to a sunny and warm afternoon. Bear secured the property perimeter and then enjoyed an hour keeping watch…

…from Beardog Point.

**I have decided that I will scatter Karl’s ashes just below Beardog Point. When, I don’t know. There will be a day and time that is right for that. Bear will be part of it as Karl was part of the scattering of Zack’s ashes on the overlook on Big Mountain Road.

From Dawn to Dusk

Bear and I…in the Jeep…headed down the road before 7:00 a.m. this morning. I hoped to watch the moon set over the valley. I did see it, but it was very faint – obscured by clouds.

But…the road home, just before sunrise – it was beautiful and spoke of a pleasant day to come.

And it was correct!

Although my yard/woods/driveway are still some mix of dry/icy/puddly/slushy … the temperature hit 59, the air was warm and soft, a breeze blew high in the pines – it was a beautiful and pleasant day.

The workday done, Bear and I spent an hour outside, alternately exploring, sitting and enjoying, and finally walking the short loop as the setting sun turned the clouds pink, over the mountains to the east…a little bit of cloud aplenglow.

Mr. Sunshine

Bob has decided that he does NOT like being in “his” room mostly by himself all day.

I can hardly blame him. The room I use as my office is not called the sunroom for nothing!

Mr. Sunshine.

Lazy, restful weekend

From Bob…

…to me…

…to Bear.

It has been one lazy and restful weekend after a week that included several appointments in town as well as normal work and chores.

I read next to Bob, watched some streaming shows next to Bear, sat in front of the fire and did nothing.

It is warm and drippy, sometimes sunny, sometimes overcast.

Saturday, as the sun went down…

…it was both.
