<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It started with </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">a spiderweb table cloth </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and a number or other creepy items </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">Both Adelaide & Sarah Grace</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">were thrilled with THIS find!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Notice the size of this tree root?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It's <em>HUGE!</em></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Actually Dad missed out on our</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">hike to visit the goats</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">so, we made a point of </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">taking him </span><span style="font-size: large;">back there</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">the </span><span style="font-size: large;">very next day and</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">introduced him to Will and Kate</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> <em>and </em></span><span style="font-size: large;"> this tree!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It was fun to watch the girls</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">lead their Dad on a grand adventure :) </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">They were <em>SO</em> proud </span><span style="font-size: large;">to show him</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> how they could find their way!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Together, I think we found the beginnings of a </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">new magic trail back there! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">That, in itself, went <em>a long way</em> in making this </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-size: large;">a woman lived in a</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-size: large;"> big grey house in the far North.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-size: large;"> Tucked into the Boreal Forest, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-size: large;">she toiled away in her garden,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-size: large;"> making it a fragrant paradise of</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-size: large;"> texture and colour that fed her senses.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-size: large;"> While she loved this place so,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-size: large;"> the day came when she had to move away,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-size: large;"> leaving her cherished little garden behind.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-size: large;"> The little paradise waited</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-size: large;"> day in and day out</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-size: large;"> for its gardener to return</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-size: large;"> with loving hands and heart,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-size: large;"> but she did not </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-size: large;">so,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-size: large;"> eventually, the flowers and trees</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-size: large;"> fell into a deep state of mourning...</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-size: large;"> and the place became </span><br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-size: large;">unrecognizable with weeds,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-size: large;"> the beautiful plants persisted</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-size: large;"> holding onto memories</span><br />

with all of its quirks & cracks?? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Who would walk through the door of our little cabin</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and fall in love with her?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Who could possible see her imperfections & still call her home?</div>

It was so awesome to see the different dogs at our gathering and also to meet their families, who know all about this magnificent breed :) Each of these dogs are equally stunning examples of what make Leos so outstanding!!! </div><br /><div align="center"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5688454520601055394" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiq6QKA6MOGmLGb4S8AbJ4wDBLxqoszFQH-1WLjgijqWAZzUjfoE2EZTU-zPkfnQW9P6AX25cEAKvTNtlYhUXmrUe82C60juq86Wmp9D3SXvqV-Ayj7jQvOjB21YFWMcplR754HLOR4Y4un/s400/8.JPG" /></div><br /><div align="center">It was also wonderful to see how consistent their dispositions are!!

All she wanted to do was go back to the play-room (and her bucket, no doubt!)...she was worried that she might miss something...<br />Sortly after our photo shoot, we made our good-byes & promises to do it all over again sooner than later! Then it was off to truck. From that point Winnie slept the entire 4 hours it took us to run a few errands & drive home! Even when she made her way into the cabin, my puppy basically headed straight for her kenel & crashed all over again!<br /></div><br /><div align="center"><br /><div align="center"><strong><em><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="color:#ffcc66;">Hummm....note to self: Too tired to chew!!!!!</span></span></em></strong></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="color:#ffcc66;"><strong><em><span style="font-size:180%;">Yes, we MUST do this again soon!!</span></em></strong> </span></div></div></div>Heather, aka: Mumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01842671999522570671noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3521682832670406008.post-38649258852198442392011-12-19T13:30:00.007-08:002011-12-20T21:35:39.874-08:00<div align="center"><span style="color:#3366ff;"><strong><span style="font-size:180%;">November brought lots of wonderful moments to photograph!!</span></strong> </span></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDsd_cD-cSzsX7-ylBm1ScL8QDyyMA4HzS0v0Es3ct1oGahI3opmvZotNdWpk9WiwnO49dVbglO3OXqP5KkyJh-jWYEFNVWLIAay7Dnhw7FVyi1IEu3pT3PYdj7YE_AOlOGh3XKAGoROca/s1600/13.JPG"><span style="color:#3366ff;"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5687964872871050050" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDsd_cD-cSzsX7-ylBm1ScL8QDyyMA4HzS0v0Es3ct1oGahI3opmvZotNdWpk9WiwnO49dVbglO3OXqP5KkyJh-jWYEFNVWLIAay7Dnhw7FVyi1IEu3pT3PYdj7YE_AOlOGh3XKAGoROca/s400/13.JPG" /></span></a><span style="font-size:130%;color:#3366ff;"> While Winnie continued to prove herself to be an awesome buddy & playmate for the girls, it has been Adelaide who gravitates to her the most!

It is a cozy little place in the heart of town with a perfect view of the mountains! Not only are the owners as wonderful as can be and the view worth a million bucks, the food is superb!
