The arc of the moral universe is snoring softly on the sofa with her paw over her nose, chasing squirrels in her sleep, because dreaming is better than reality at present.

No photos, please. I need brushing but won't let mom do it.
Furry dog love is so important now.

How's your Saturday going?

Good morning, @Minholkin
Happy Saturday! It's going to be a good one because I decided it would be.

Happy Saturday, @LlamaMountainStudioArts
What's on the agenda today?
I am off to a church craft activity, then home for Saturday chores and chicken and dumplings.
Maybe rain tomorrow!

Good Saturday morning! Here's the weather from the ancient VA. Blue Ridge.
More seasonable weather today -- 42 F now with a high of 62 F. Mostly sunny though clouds will increase. Chance of rain tomorrow!
Let's make it a kind day.

When helplessness becomes the loudest voice in your head.
A woman took an early walk on the beach, and saw that the storm the evening before had washed hundreds of starfish up onto the shore, where the receding tide was leaving them stranded.
She began picking them up and throwing them back into the surf. Another early riser commented, "Why even try? You can't save them all. What your doing doesn't really matter." The woman looked at the starfish in her hand and said, "It matters to this one."

@Mandypar
I miss you! Please tell me how it's going.

@LlamaMountainStudioArts
How are you doing? Getting ready for the winter we will eventually have?

@Minholkin
Morning! Another day of determination. You ready?

The weather for the Virginia Blue Ridge Nov. 8:
We made it to Friday.
It's already 60 F, which is higher than our high should be. Heading for a mostly sunny high of 78 F with less humidity than the past couple days.
A cool down is coming.
Make it a kind day.

Good morning @Minholkin --how are you doing this morning?

Weather Nov. 7 for the ancient VA Blue Ridge:
It's nearly 60 F with a high of 82 F. Very warm for Nov.
A chance of rain, and we need some. The last rain we had was over a month ago.
Let's make it a good day. Be kind.

Looks we have quite a few new community members.
CoSo is different.
We are kind and thoughtful. Expect opinions, humor, and photos of cats and dogs and nature.
We are honest without being hurtful. We check in on and support each other.
We don't abide "acting ugly," as my mom would say.
We welcome new folks who bring their kindness, opinions, humor, and obligatory pet photos.
We're glad you want to be part of our family.

Crazy rhododendron is blooming in November.

Am I listening to Christmas music at work today? Yes, yes I am, because it makes me happy.
This doesn't mean I lack love for Thanksgiving -- it's my favorite celebration.
