donna s art at mourning dove cottage pages home about etsy shop my cottage garden my home dachshunds pet paintings my art sunday october 2 2016 otis i found myself on my blog today mainly because i wanted to do a posting on otis this summer july 11 2016 to be exact our otis crossed over the rainbow bridge dear sweet otis is no longer with us and we miss him so much he has been the most wonderful companion loving pet and he made us so happy and now he has crossed over to be with his brother riley where he is i am sure happy pain free and playing to his heart s content that s how i see him these two boys have been a big part of our lives for many years and they will be in our hearts forever love you both always and miss you terribly otis and riley there is a bridge connecting heaven and earth it is called the rainbow bridge because of its many colors just this side of the rainbow bridge there is a land of meadows hills and valleys with lush green grass when a beloved pet dies the pet goes to this place there is always food and water and warm spring weather all the animals who have been ill and old are restored to health and vigor those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by the animals are happy and content except for one small thing they each miss someone very special to them who had to be left behind they all run and play together but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance his bright eyes are intent his eager body begins to quiver suddenly he begins to run from the group flying over the green grass his legs carrying him faster and faster you have been spotted and when you and your special friend finally meet you cling together in joyous reunion the happy kisses rain upon your face your hands again caress the beloved head and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart then you cross the rainbow bridge together never again to be separated posted by donna at 11 36 am 12 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels dachshunds otis otis and riley rainbow bridge sunday january 17 2016 to blog or not to blog hello my dear friends i m back i know it s been awhile i have been trying to decide whether i want to continue blogging or not to blog at all ever feel that way i don t have very many creative projects left to share anymore as i did when i first started back in 2007 but i still like to come here and read and browse and see what all has happened in the years past time changes our lives change we get older you will probably find me from time to time putting my thoughts down here and to say hello otis and i are doing

bringing those house plants inside for the winter hello my friends do you do what i do and take your house plants outside for the summer and then bring them back inside for the winter of course i guess it depends on where you live i think my plants grow twice the size when they are outside in the fresh air and sunshine or shade all summer long today i brought the last of them inside despite the fact that it s heading toward the end of october there is still some summer lingering around the yard flowers are blooming and i even captured a butterfly on the black and blue salvia i always find it hard to let go of summer but once it turns cold i find comfort in the warmth of our home sitting by the fire working on a puzzle or cozying up with a good book today was a good day for porch sitting and puttering in the garden hope you are enjoying your day posted by donna at 12 37 pm 5 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels fall flowers garden houseplants october summer winter wednesday july 15 2015 a copy cat bird house i have always liked mackenzie childs things while looking through the catalog the other day i saw these really cute bird houses whimsical and fun the only problem is the bird house in the catalog costs 200 since this is a little more than i normally spend on a bird house i had an idea to make my own i found a 6 00 wooden bird house at hobby lobby i started with three coats of white paint for the base and then using a ruler i figured out my black and white squares evenly the whole way around after that i added color and to top it off i hung a crystal on the bottom of the bird house for some bling and this is how mine turned out it s not exactly like the mackenzie childs bird houses but close enough for me

the cancer rose three years ago i planted a zephririne drouhn climbing rose that i ordered from a mail order catalog it came in the mail right after i was diagnosed with breast cancer you might remember my initial silly rose story that i posted in 2012 you can read it here i am not sure why i called it the cancer rose it just popped into my head at that moment when galen and i were planting the bare root in the ground and i felt that if the rose survived i would too yes i know that s silly well i am happy to say the rose survived and is thriving it has climbed up the post and over the pergola just as i planned it turned out to be a beautiful rose and it has a spicy clove scent it smells heavenly i guess i knew all along the rose would survive and of course i knew that i would too
