Pay attention.

Be astonished.

Tell about it."

Freedom Service Dogs yesterday


     Here we are doing a little training before going on an outing to the library and out to lunch.  Pretty Miss Saffron is behind me doing a sit stay, demonstrating how well-behaved she can be.  She did great at both places.  (Great picture of her, not so great of me, sorry.)  Eight volunteers with dogs went on this outing.

     Also, you can use 3 Tablespoons of bean cooking liquid from garbanzo or white beans.  This is called aquafaba.

Awkward Yeti


     I follow the comic "Awkward Yeti."  Here, in the Heart and Brain series,  Heart accepts a challenge against all odds.  I love Heart.

Time to start building an ark?





     The sun is out, even though it is still chilly, and the snow is pretty much melted.  I guess the ark won't be necessary after all.  Yay sunshine.

     I volunteered with a friend at the Air Life Memorial race this morning.  We were at the water stop at the 7k turn-around.  It poured rain the whole 3 hours.  It was really tough standing there and cheering people on in the cold, but they were actually out there running in this weather!  Pure awesomeness.  I'm glad I had my cowbell with me to cheer them on.
     Tonight we are predicted to receive 5-9 inches of snow.  That's Mother's Day in Colorado.
