FIRST DAY OF SPRING

I love the 1st day of Spring. Lots of folk have their birthday

on the 1st day of Spring - and I am lucky enough to be one of
them. To all of my friends wherever you may be, thank you so
much for all the phone calls and unexpected emails from across
the pond!

This is a picture of me on my 7th Birthday with my best friend
Sniggles. I could dress her up and she'd walk around with me
holding her paw, or she was happy being pushed around in the
pram - hour after hour. Then oneday the worst cenario happened -
Sniggles was bitten by a snake and died, and my world fell apart.

CHEROKEE PRAYER BLESSING

MAY THE WARM WINDS OF HEAVEN

BLOW SOFTLY UPON YOUR HOUSE.

MAY THE GREAT SPIRIT BLESS

ALL WHO ENTER THERE.

MAY YOUR MOCASSINS

MAKE HAPPY TRACKS IN MANY SNOWS.

AND MAY THE RAINBOW

ALWAYS TOUCH YOUR SHOULDER.
