Lessons from dog Walk this am- and salt crystals on the road Human – An innate fear of nature at its extreme
Science – Salt lowers freezing point of water Moral – Influence spreads wider than you know – try to be good Dog-
Don’t let the dog step on the crystals – Causes pain and the stops them dead in their tracks in the middle of the road
For those from “no snow” climates – in preparation for snow and slippery conditions on the roads the towns spread salt xstals to reduce the chances of accidents
Wanted to thank you from the bottom of my paws for helping me avoid the salt, explaining to me why humans put it there, and of course telling me about the importance spreading good influence
Love Benjy

“I will have my way with you in the spring when you will wither away, and rather than embracing me with your hard and cold heart, you will enrich me from the bottom of my roots to the inner sanctum of my soul!”
Each has a glorious moment in time, as the cycles of nature go around and around with ups and downs.

How sad I am,
With family and close friends of last summer, –
All gone..
And I am alone.
How sad I am.

Feeling a little let down
Kinda blue
Fenced in
Downright cold and bleak
With nobody to play with
Thankfully support systems are strong
“What good is the warmth of summer, without the cold of winter to give it sweetness.”

On the dog walk today
9 °F = -14°C after 12 inches of snow
January 5 2018

It is now 5°F = -15 °C and about to brave the salt and ice for the dog walk. Benjy can’t deal with the salt but walks barefoot on the ice How in heavens name does he do that?

Looking like trees on a hill
It is now -4°F = -20°C
The refrigerator freezer temperature is 0° F (-18° C)
So we are surrounded by a freeze box today
372
‘Twas -4 at 7 on Sunday
and the dog had to go
And so I went
Just Benjy, me, and the freeze
Wow!
Waves of wind on the snow
Waves of mountains on the ground
A beautiful harmony in the silence of sound
So blessed to have this dog
We call him Benjy!

It depicts a slight change in the art- Basic elements of the art in the ice is retained and the imagination is let loose to wander and wonder!

A sad scene of two forgotten bikes.
When new and shiny they provided so much joy, and with so much potential to provide more joy, but forgotten and left out in the cold
The more pressing human equivalent -expressed by Mother Teresa
“Loneliness and the feeling of being unwanted is the most terrible poverty.”
