Great walking weather


So Mr Zig and I went for a LONG walk this morning on Kenebunk Beach. I LOVE that beach as does the Zig man. It was high tide so we only actually walked on the beach for a few hundred feet. But the sea wall was really empty and we had fun. We did meet a couple of new dogs, one was a HUGE, I mean really huge Great Dane. He was all white with black spots. When he approached us he crouched down like a cat going to spring. His owner said he was trying to be inconspicuous...not gonna happen I'm afraid. But it was so cute. Ziggy didn't know what to thing of him, he towered over Zig but was really friendly.
Then we met a tiny Sheltie, so sweet and mild, Now that is the size dog Zig likes to play with, smaller than he is so he can have the upper hand. He is funny.
Zig decided to race the waves today, he ran out toward to water and when the waves came at him he acted as though they were really after him and he tore all over the beach like a crazy person. It was quite funny, I wished I could have taken his leash off so he could really RUN, but with the road right there I didn't dare...just couldn't have him run out onto a busy street, nope.
Anyway, it was a nice morning and the cool breeze felt so good and smelled good too. I enjoyed watching the waves roll up along the sea wall and spit straight up into the air as it hit.
At one point Ziggy jumped down over the sea wall onto the tiny bit of beach that wasn't under water yet. Then when he tried to et back UP, he remembered he can't jump, I mean the can't jump AT ALL, so we had to get to a place where the beach was higher and the wall lower, then I hauled him up over the wall...he didn't do it again, I think he was scared when he realized he couldn't get back up to where I was. Poor Zig.
But alls well that ends well and we had a great walk and he is napping in the car waiting for the long ride home after we get Cari.

NEW Widget!


Hey! How do you like my new widget? I think it is pretty cool! Tran showed me how to paste it in and I am lovin it.
Thought while I was at it I would show everyone one of my Santa ornaments. This time we find Santa running around with too much to do. After all it is just 5 weeks before Christmas! He hasn't even had time to get dressed, just threw on his vest and hit the ground running.
Santa is made of a wool/mohair blend needle felted over a wire armature. He can be posed differently if you so choose. He comes ready to hang with a mono-filament strand already attached. This ornament may be hung on just about any tiny or light weight branch as it weighs but a scant portion of an ounce. He will be posted on Etsy this afternoon so you may see him in my widget too : )

Felted Wool Wild Things Once Mild, Now Wild

Felted Wool Wild Things Once Mild, Now Wild

YIKES!

So sorry to have been absent for SO LONG! I forgot about this blog, honestly. Life has been moving pretty fast and I have been busy.
Been going to school still. I've done ok, with all A's so far. Not taking a lot of classes but have been trying to do well with each of them.
I transfered to Granite State College, the Conway campus. I really like it, they take a personal approach to school and my advisor knows me and emails me with reminders and questions and attaboys. I like that.
