I'm so glad you know about Maria Popova and that someone sent you her cards. She has a similar connection to the earth like you do. I keep thinking about the Goldie embroidery and I'm inspired to embroider my black cat, Tino, who died last year. I feel that he is still around and that he doesn't mind being wherever he is. I love your posts and your stitching. They are both grounding and exciting

A pet is a pet is a pet and member of the family. RIP Goldie.

Lovely read, as always! So sorry to hear about your Goldie, who must have been beloved and well-cared for. Of course you feel the loss. Hope you get in many more sunny days at your cove before the tourists return.

I absolutely loved the words on the card you shared...I have made a screenshot of it as a daily reminder ❤️

Owen, lovely post and pictures as always 😊 I’m sorry for your loss of Goldie ( 23 years!! Incredibly long life for a goldfish!) and for your loss of your lab Jessie. They’re both now at the Rainbow Bridge, and while we grieve here for the loss of our pets, I believe we’ll see them again when it’s our time. I love to hear about the adventures of Seamus! And I have to add that your son Jimini has *great* hair!! RIP Goldie and Jessie 🐕‍🦺 🐟 💐❤️

What a lovely way for me to start my Friday morning! Reading your post as I sip a cup of green tea. I alternate once in awhile with a lovely cup of Yorkshire Gold tea. Due to the cost, it's a treat. A friend recommended it and The taste is superb. We are having a lovely day here which looks a lot like the one you posted about. Day before yesterday we ended a string of six rainy days in a row. Plants, animals, the soil, and the people living upon it appreciate it whether they know it or not. Water is life. Everything looks really happy. The trees outside the window seem to be a little greener. Anyway, thank you, Owen, for a lovely start to the day.❤️

Ohhh what a lovely post Owen. I'm very sorry about Goldie. And yes, the passing of time is something that we are reminded by such meaningful events. Ive got one of my own today. Thank you for sharing.

Ps. I will make a note of that spot and it is now on my bucket list, right after paying you a visit one day ! 😊❤️🌎

Seamus is having great adventures. How fortunate for him and for all the people he meets. RIP Goldie. Such a long life for a goldfish. Your family pictures are wonderful. I like the guy with all the hair. Thank you for sharing. 💚💚💚🧡
