Quite a cast from Vernon Marsh! The beautiful spider web reminded me of a now-departed friend. She and a friend, an environmental lawyer, decided to form a religious order for each of their properties to make them tax exempt. Hers was The Ministry of the Bejeweled Net! Examining the web from your pictures, it’s hard not to feel something sacred at work, tax dodge or otherwise. I picture you in a prone (dog-assisted?) position to catch the toad’s solemn expression. The splash of sunlight between his eyes! Happy Monday, Gail.
Instead, Henri has afforded “life ops!” Her own personality and enthusiasm. I sort of imagine her being “Cato” from the Inspector Clouseau/Pink Panther movies with Peter Sellers. Cato once jumped out of the oven to “greet” the Inspector! Sound familiar? Woof! Bark, bark, bark.
Haha! Out of nostalgia, I took Henrietta to that very same marsh location today. She proved that one never steps in the same river twice. “Life ops” indeed!
One of my favorite scenes from a Peter Sellers movie is the Inspector approaching the desk clerk in a hotel. Sellers asks, "Does your dog bite?" "No," was the reply. The dog promptly bit Sellers, who exclaimed, "I thought you said your dog did not bite!?" "It is not my dog," replied the clerk! Spoiler alert: smoking.
Sorry for my continued delight in obscure minutia... the hotel clerk was puffing away through the scene. Today there is a lot of handwringing if a movie “glamorizes” smoking! The scene was a bit odd by today’s standards.

Perhaps that’s why K’s meditation today said, “Do not follow anybody spiritually.” 😂
Missing “off leash Mara” as my walking companion. Hadn’t thought of this, but my photo ops have diminished significantly since Henri came along.

Now I’ll go look up Cato.

I’m confused by the spoiler alert....perhaps because I’m unfamiliar with the movies?
I read a similar story about a dog digging a hole....Why’s your dog digging a hole?
Don’t know....not my dog.
Hahaha! I could say the same about Hen. She’s a bit of a free agent.
