hello monday!

back to my early morning schedule of writing and coffee and it feels great! the funk of the past few days is gone and i've got a better perspective on life (my life) because of it. sometimes a person needs those low days in order to see what greatness they have in their life... and i feel thankful and hopeful and ready to begin a new week. the Sheep in Fog painting is done but i can't take a picture of it until the fog lifts. it's not raining right now but still tremendously grey outside- bad day for photography and i think it's super unethical to doctor photos of art. they need to be as true to life as possible and i achieve that the old fashioned way- natural light.

but in spite of being grey and damp, inga and i will be taking a longer than normal hike this morning. the poor little girl has been locked inside by the rain (because i don't own an umbrella or raincoat) and so she's got a lot of energy to burn. and if there's one thing i know for sure, a rottweiler needs to work and be worked. an energetic rottie, for however cute and funny, isn't necessarily good for the furniture and anything breakable. bull in a china shop. she's a bouncy little thing as it is. we even jump on the bed together some mornings. :) she's goofy and sweet and it's so hard to understand why people are afraid of the breed. who couldn't love this scrunchy face!



inga's nic-names: inga binga, ingaborg, little buns, little girl, crazy bone, dinga berry, jones, quizzicalitese, proclivities, little one, little lamb, little bear, little deer, little ewe, little kid, etc, etc, etc... :)
