I believe that there is a subtle magnetism in Nature,
which, if we unconsciously yield to it,
will direct us aright.
by Henry David Thoreau
....Delicate.... delicate snow flakes...and
SHE....
my wonderful & beautiful
& gold-hearted
best friend....
...LACCAILLE.....
Her happyness was incredible as she noticed
I was approaching the
long scales
without my
crutches.....!!
....but instead with her much loved tennisballs......
....SHE.....
missed our daily hikes & games & fun-times very much ......
......jumping & running on the last " snow-carpets "..!
Oh, yes, we had a really cold, snowy time behind us;
even 2 inches of snow
which is unusual
& a lot for
southern
TUSCANY & it
resisted for many days...!
Laccaille loved the snow....;
& I love her
runing performances...!
Power, beauty, silky elegance....!
There was somebody
who tried
desperately to keep
herself warm & cosy....
CJ....Cinghy-Jasmine, was incredibly busy preparing herself
a warm hay-nest......
........not even the ball game could keep her from constructing & working......
....almost done...!
sweet CJ, a hearty sniff in the snow just for me & the camera...!
COLD & SNOW
are gone;
todays splendid sunrise
promised a
mild, wonderful day...!
....& I
CELEBRATED
with it
my first little walk without
crutches; just
FANTASTIC!!!!!!
HAVE A WONDERFUL & SUNNY HAPPY DAY!!!!!

Beautiful pictures and post. Animals are such good friends with no judgement on what we look like - judgement comes from how we treat them.
Super serie!
Greetings :)
I am glad your crutches have gone Elvira.
Snow in bella Toscana who would have thought it.{:)
I knew from the title you must have gotten rid of your crutches! What!!!! Snow in Tuscany...I was so surprised. Laccaille is one of the most beautiful shepherds I have ever seen. And Jasmine....so special. You have good friends.
Ciao!
I am sorry you hurt your leg, and glad you are up walking. What beautiful photos of Laccaille. Her expressions are so full of love.
Elvira, I was sorry to hear you were on crutches, I only realised recently when I came for a read and at the time was unable to comment. I am so glad to hear you had your first little walk and lovely images of Laccaille. I hope you continue to recover ~ Hugs ChrissyX
Yeah, cheers Elvira...I was thinking that the time had to have come that you were free of those crutches and your cast. I have never had one and I feel very fortunate. Wow snow in Tuscany, how beautiful and fantastic that had to have been. It sure looks like your favorite Laccaille and Cinghy-Jasmine had a good time. That is so cute the way CJ is making a nest and sorting out the straw, before taking a run at the snow. Your favored dog must have felt so happy seeing you walking once again, now you can resume your long walks. You take it easy, not to do too much too quickly. Take care and have a wonderful weekend...I am knowing you shall now that you are free ;)~
Wonderful pictures Elira....i like them all very much.
Ciao, Joop
CJ gave me a warm laugh
And finally - I saw this post before scrolling down to the previous two so I knew you were now walking without crutches and without your plaster cast. I'm so sorry you broke your leg, and hope you are now feeling stronger and steadier each day. Your photos of Lacaille are great. But how did you throw ball and take photos at the same time....?!!!
(Just a note - when you leave comments on my blog the url and the email you give don't work. Please could you check and correct them next time you stop by...?)
Baci!
Janice.

Tuscany received SNOW? WoW! I had no idea it snowed there.
Laccaille is such a beautiful dog & CJ is just too cute in the hay! =)
Ciao carissima Elvira,
I have not visited you for a long and I'm glad you're healthy again. Our animals are a great good fortune for us, and your pictures touch my heart.

Hello Elvira,
Very funny shots of the dog. She looks fantastic and great to see her on the stone stairs. Beautiful!! She likes playing in the snow.
And what a nice images of that pig. Very funny to see!!
Greetings, Marco
Hé mais ca y est ! tu cours de nouveau comme une athlète dans la belle nature toscane , et en très bonne compagnie en plus ;) Cette série est magnifique, on ressent de l'émotion à travers l'attitude de ton magnifique chien et du sympathique sanglier. Je vois que ta longue hibernation n'a pas altéré ta vision d'artiste. Pour toi , tout comme pour la nature , tout est tourné vers un merveilleux printemps , c'est parfait ;)
Bisous et à très bientôt
So now you know what SNOW does to me as well...frolic, energy, excitement, freshness, and bounding leaps! This has been part of my existence for 5 years now....I look forward to winter in a way only we "animals" know...L and CJ experiencing the love of SNOW in 2 different ways...so natural...everything is so natural!
Amore to all~~~~Sweet frolics!
Elvira- oh my sweet friend!!! What a cause for celebration. I'm so happy that you have left your crutches behind. Your beautiful companion- oh how I love these photos! I can't believe the snow- so surprising- I didn't think it ever snowed there!!
The photos if your little rescued boar baby are so previous. CJ is just adorable- what a lucky little girl to have become a part of your family-- she is a special little gift from God.
I'm so happy you are mended-- now be careful!!!
