LILY'S LOVELY VIEW

 POST # 589


Say hello to Lily.  As you can tell by the photo, she's a very relaxed bonehead.  Here she is, on one of her favourite chairs, getting ready to have yet another nap.  She deserves it, because after 12 years on the planet earth, she's earned some rest time.

Having recently spent time with the high energy of Caper at my previous house sit, Lily is a relaxing companion by comparison.

When she's not napping, she has a very lovely view to enjoy, and so does The Thoughtful Wanderer.  We are perched on a hill overlooking the Strait of Georgia, and it's hard not to want to spend the entire day just gazing out the windows.


One of the trees out front appears to be the home base for a couple of magnificent looking eagles.  They come and go throughout the day, but not a day has gone by, since my arrival, that I don't see them at least once.  


Most of the days that I have been here, the ocean has been roughed up by the wind, however late yesterday, for the first time, things calmed down, and the strait looked like a large, calm lake.



This has been a rather short house sit, and the owners arrive back home later today.  In spite of the shortness of the visit, I have enjoyed the location very much, and Lily is a real pleasure to spend time with.  

After our final walk of the day, she'll find another location in the house (she has plenty of them), to stretch out and have another nap.  After all, she has to save up some energy, in order to get ready for her evening meal.  What a life.


Thank you Lily, for spending some time with me, and sharing your lovely view.  


grateful for every breath,

Paul
The Thoughtful Wanderer
