Nimue Day

Nimue Day

2011

Today is Nimue Day... the anniversary of my canine daughter's departure last year.

Yesterday, I untied all the yellow ribbons that were tied on the fruit trees during her memorial in 2010 and this morning in a moment of sunshine & beauty on the land, I sat outside and retied all of them on a circular loop and placed it at her grave.

I still miss you, Nimue Girl !

Nimue's Song

written by Mama Hazel

March 2010

Part I: Mama calling

Nimue dog...

Golden white...

Chestnut brown eyes...

Snow nosed canine...

Gorgeous eyelashes

Bouncy one...

Joyful heart...

Cookie Monster...

Cuddle bunny girl...

Loving companion

Part II: Nimue's ballad

Duty calls...

On patrol...

Gopher watching...

Chasing rabbits...

Stealing Zippy's catch

Life is good...

I'm the boss...

Mama loves me...

Rubs my tummy...

I'm your dog for life

All is dark...

Suddenly...

Out of my body...

Try to get back in...

All systems shut off

'I Love You'...

I'm so sorry...

Please don't worry...

I am here with you...

until you're okay

Mommy...

Got to go...

Stepping through that door...

But... i'll be back for sure...

Always be your dog

Nimue's grave today

ArtFire Collection: The Emerald Isle of Eire

Today, we celebrate with the sharing of a beautiful Celtic theme ArtFire Collection called The Emerald Isle of Eire...

THE EMERALD ISLE OF EiRE

curated by PrettyGonzo

Click HERE to visit Collection !

Our curator describes her treasury

of celtic goodies as follows:

"This collection celebrates Ireland, from its windswept coasts to its traditional crafts to its various symbols, such as the harp, the claddagh, and St. Brigid's Cross. Spirals, high crosses, and ancient stone circles are also a part of wonderful Eire, not to mention its fresh scent (represented here in a special shampoo). I hope you find this a fun way to prepare for St. Patrick's Day, or any day!"

How wondrous indeed :)

I LOVE all the beautiful imagery & photographs !

One of my apple wood Brigid Crosses was featured !

PrettyGonzo "which is named after a little orange-and-white stray cat who came crying to my door for food last winter, and who won my heart with his sweetness, smarts, and social charm. Of course, Gonzo is a stray no longer, and as a far healthier and happier fellow now, he welcomes everyone who stops by "his" shop to nose around."
