LilyLove

A few weeks back, I went over to my friend Terry Golson's house for a visit, and to congratulate her on the publication of The Farmstead Egg Guide & Cookbook. I love to hang out at Terry's house. Her kitchen always smells of fresh baked treats, and she makes a great cup of coffee.    

Marky loves to visit, too, but Terry's dog Lily stresses him out a bit.  

Because Lily adores Marky.

On this visit, Lily adored him even more than usual.

You know how girls can be a little scary sometimes.

Marky attempted a few subtle cues, but nothing he did could change the way she feels about him.

Lily was happy to gaze at Marky from either end. 

  After coffee, we went out back to see Terry's critters.

Marky seemed relieved to have a little distance between himself and Lily, 

But soon she found him.

Pip and Caper lured Terry into their yard and put her to work

scratching butts and giving kisses. 

I, of course, made a beeline for the henhouse, 

to visit with Terry's lovely ladies.

Marky's nose caught the scent of Phoebe, 

the long-eared member of Terry's flock. 

He set off on a bunny hunt.

And Lily set off on a Marky-hunt.

By the end of our visit, Marky seemed to be coming to terms with Lily's passionate attention.  

 Because love really isn't the worst thing that can happen.

Where's Marky? (December game)

Enjoying the season's long shadows and warm colors with my favorite hiking buddy.

 You won't find Marky in this picture,

or in this one.

He's waiting for me to finish whatever the heck I'm doing, so we can get on with the fun. 

Wait a minute little guy.

Just one more.

Oooh - just a sec.

Okay, last one.

He's not a chicken, but I love him just the same.

Marky.  

Hunting-dude.  

Master-o' Camouflage.

So get out your binoculars and your magnifying glass,  and...

find Marky!
