I'm not thrilled about taking medicine, either, but sometimes it's necessary!
ReplyDeleteTis a beautiful anticipation of spring!

Love the crocuses coming up through the snow.
ReplyDeleteHow amazing to see crocuses popping up through the snow and ice! Spring will be here before we know it--how very welcomed it will be this year!
ReplyDeleteNice to see the Spring bursting out!
ReplyDeleteGreat captures.
haiku for Haiku Diem Kai link this haiku is very good.
ReplyDeleteYes, Carol, our body, mind and spirit perform much healing if we let it. Seeing those buds reminds me of how much they lve the cold!...:)JP
ReplyDeleteLove the crocuses popping up and spring's warmth in your haiku....
ReplyDeleteI love this picture, he looks happy! Beautiful photos!
ReplyDeleteYour dog is so cute. We, too, have spring bulbs popping up and growing more and more each day...although winter isn't harsh here. Still, it's so exciting.
ReplyDeleteI see you enjoy link-ups....the title of your posts this week made me think of my friend's link-up "Life Through the Lens". She posts each Wednesday and can be found here if you are interested... http://foursimplyliving.com/
Your dog has the sweetest face. More winter - I feel her pain.
ReplyDeleteyour art muse is such a pepper upper to me! no signs of spring around here, yours is so hopeful that soon spring will surely come.
ReplyDeleteI like the way the curves of the blanket mimic the curves of her hair over her eyes. Great b & w.
ReplyDeleteSo cute dog :-) Nice photos
ReplyDeletePoor puppy! So far just chilly sunshine down here...think you're supposed to get it a bit worse than us on the coast :-( I LOVE the shots of the crocus "buds" pushing through this frozen, icy ground! I am in awe, every spring, watching buds, stems....all of it....find their way back! So many life lessons!! Thanks for linking up!
ReplyDeleteThe flowers peeking out of the snow is such a wonderful sight.
ReplyDeleteCarol,
ReplyDeleteAwesome B&W of your cutie pie! I like your haiku to. Very pretty words and stationary.
Such beautiful photos! Love seeing the sprouts, but that puppy omgosh!!!
ReplyDeleteYou have buds coming up? Hopefully were done with snow in the Boston area, and you'll have some lovely blossoms!
ReplyDeleteGreat to see the spring bulbs and that it is still growing despite the ice around.
ReplyDeleteI am sure the dog will be as brave as the bulbs biting the bulet and rearing their pointed heads triumphantly through the cold snow
ReplyDeleteGood on them! Those crocus bulbs deserve an extra dose of fertiliser for having the courage to burst through regardless. I feel for you (and Art -muse dog) with all that shovelling, I can only hope it is keeping you fit!

Cute dog and nice poetry.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Love love, Andrew. Bye.
Dearest Carol;

Sending you Lots of Love and Hugs from Japan, xoxo Miyako*
Oh my goodness the photo of the new green growth popping through the layer of snow is gorgeous. Hoping Spring, springs soon for you!
ReplyDeleteI keep seeing signs of Spring online, it's nice! I wish I'd see some at our house. ;)
ReplyDeleteNew life peeping out beneath a wintry blanket, waiting to show the world the promises of a better tomorrow are on the loom helping us to fare the blahness of the last days of the coldness. Great to have you hop over this morning! ;) Keep warm, Carol!
ReplyDeletewhat a sweet pic of that too cute pup peeking out from the warm blanket!! Love your photos and especially your haikus Carol-they are so beautiful. Hope you didn't get too much snow-we're supposed to be getting more this coming Sun into Mon :(

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the little bits of green popping out of the snow. Give me hope that maybe spiring may come after all :)

ReplyDeleteSuch an interesting sky, with the sun just about to breakthrough
ReplyDeleteLove your dog! Always charming on pictures!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, and fantastic haiku as always, Carol! Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteI'll bet those crocus look good to you right now! They look good to me and I'm clear across the country!
ReplyDeleteI can't tell you how excited I am to see the green poking through… up here there is still so much snow on the ground, but I suspect there may be some little shoots very close to the surface below the ice and snow.
ReplyDeletewho's the little furry cutie patootie?
ReplyDeleteNice shots. Your dog is adorable!

LOVE the photo of Art Muse Dog! )
ReplyDeleteVery inspiring haikus. The shot of the flower shoots breaking through the snow is inspiring too. Love that spring is just around the corner.
ReplyDeleteWonderful shots. I hope you'll have nice spring weather too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing and enjoy your weekend.
Love the Haiku, as always - but i really love the shot of the dog. :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a promising sight.
ReplyDeleteCertainly nothing in life is more constant than change. Here's hoping that all your changes are good ones!
ReplyDeleteThe sight of those crocuses coming up warms my heart almost as much as the photo of your dear little pup!
ReplyDeleteAwesome post ... your haiku are gems.
ReplyDeleteYour Haiku thoughts are beautiful. Be patient, Spring will come when Mother Nature tires of her antics. You are not really going to make poor art muse dog shovel snow, are you? :)
ReplyDeleteI smiled at "medicine sometimes;" should be a good reminder for a close someone I know :)
ReplyDeletea grand serving; Have a nice Saturday
ReplyDeletemuch love...
Coming here... so feeds my soul. Love those little signs of spring, and your haiku are rich and meaningful. Hope ArtMuseDog stays cozy and warm, as do you... XO
ReplyDeletePoor pup. I can certainly sympathize. We aren't even getting the tiniest bit of green yet. We're buried in ice and snow.
ReplyDeletedear carol,
ReplyDeletethank you for your warm and healing thoughts so generously sent my way. always a warm pleasure to be here with you.
