Easter Shopping

Look! Mommy is home from the store. Let's help her put the groceries away.

Oh boy! Eggs, mustard and minty mouthwash! This family sure celebrates Easter in a weird way.

After looking at my shopping cart compared to everyone else’s, I could just picture the disappointment on my pups’ faces.

I’m not disappointed. I’ll eat anything…including the shopping cart!

These hand-stitched, heavyweight acrylic, Patchwork Heart Coasters can also double as paperweights for your office. Their versatility and charm will make them welcome wherever you place them.

Hexagonal acrylic coasters have a rounded center area large enough to accommodate a glass or mug. Inside of the paperweight/coaster a colorful patchwork heart is nestled. The back has a circular cork pad to keep the coaster securely in place on your table or desk.

Patchwork Heart Coasters, and other fine gifts, are available from my shop at L Bowman studios.

A Late Easter Post

Snowy night scene.

What a difference from last year to this year!  Last Easter brought a tiny robin’s egg to our step.  This year brought 6″ of snow.

I happen to love these early morning, above freezing snows, so I wasn’t disappointed to wake up to a frosted wonderland. It is so magical to be outside in the cold, damp, fresh-smelling air.  I am fortunate that my pups love this kind of weather as well. (Sorry.  My battery died before I could get a better picture of the snow.)

On this morning, Toby was so excited to see the snow that he practically burst through the front door to get to it.  I put him on his 50′ leash and just let him run and run as much and as fast as he wanted.  Scratch that.  There is no such thing as enough time in the snow to Toby.  Geordie wasn’t quite as thrilled as his brother, but I was happy that he got to see another snow.

It is still hard on me knowing that this will be my little boy’s last birthday and his last snowfall.  It is the natural course of events, but it is still hard.  I have been trying to give him everything he could possibly want, but instead of making a happy pup, I have created a tyrant.  Geordie was always strong willed, but now that he realizes that I won’t push him, he is taking advantage.  Will I stop? Of course not.  An obnoxious pup is a small price to pay for allowing myself to feel that I’ve done everything I can for him.

I am nowhere near finished telling stories of the times we have spent together.  You can catch up on what we’ve been doing with out latest book Poopiter.

The Easter Egg

I can’t remember the last time I had an Easter egg to find.  You can imagine my surprise when I was heading out to look at the garden and found this little guy sitting on the backs step!

He was just so perfect and Easter-y looking in his aqua shell.

Bitey Dog’s book, A Tired Mommy Is a Good Mommy is available in paperback at Amazon.  (Also comes in Kindle format.)  It would make a great gift for Mothers’ Day!
