The weather has been a bit more cooperative in allowing me to get my walks in as well (until the ice and sn*w arrived here and there), and physical activity always helps dissipate stress. No magic potions, I'm afraid.

I prefer the rake, but in some cases (like your example of grass on a driveway), they are just smarter and quicker. <br /><br />I try not to bother dogs in cars--I worry about stressing them out.

Unfortunately, this neighbor is the township we live in, not a person, and there is no chance they will cut the tree down until it topples over.Meditations in Motionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08406003928113822953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15179498.post-12555257368049085642018-11-28T09:29:42.423-05:002018-11-28T09:29:42.423-05:00I tried to use the leaf blower to get the grass of...I tried to use the leaf blower to get the grass off the driveway after I mowed.

I'm just not interested; I'm not in That Place in my life, you know? But dogs--and I really don't have a wish to own one at all--dogs lighten my heart. Now, if it's a prissy, yappy dog in a purse--different story sometimes. Sometimes, those can make me a little snarky or even sad, if the dog looks embarrassed. You know?<br /><br />I hope your cold is short-lived. Blame your worst students. It may not help, but it <i>is</i> probably their fault. ;-)<br /><br />And better air--thank goodness--can only help.Nancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17627214346956206283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15179498.post-83505484699222860392018-11-27T12:37:32.986-05:002018-11-27T12:37:32.986-05:00I am not a fan of babies or children, but I love, ...I am not a fan of babies or children, but I love, Love, LOVE dogs! Seeing babies out in public does nothing for me (except frustrate me, if they're crying or whining or invading my personal space), but every time I see a dog, I am instantly happier.<br /><br />I'm glad that you had a nice weather day. The bad air has finally gone, thanks to several days of rain, and now we're actually able to see the blue sky. Of course, this is when I'm starting to come down with a cold, but you can't win 'em all.Mikey G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00897636566850280566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15179498.post-64419996491609122292018-11-27T09:39:38.590-05:002018-11-27T09:39:38.590-05:00Vera--And I will always smile about it!

As you said, they look so happy for the change in environment and a chance to see/smell new things.

Sounds like a you had a great day.<br /><br />AS for spam, I've been moderating my comments for a couple of years now and I can report that spam comes in waves. Sometimes I'll get 4-6 a day for a week or two then I won't get any for several months, then it starts all over again. To me its just a fact of life for bloggers and so I continue to allow anonymous comments because it's not that big of a deal to just click the spammer off to never never land.Misadventures of Widowhoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17262709452281226620noreply@blogger.com
