Honeycrisp apples

Gus and I are very happy that we had one honeycrisp apple left in the refrigerator drawer. We needed healthy substance this morning and our cupboards are pretty bare. I had been sick with the flu for the last couple of days so all things domestic are lagging behind schedule.

Yes, my dogs eat apples. They make excellent treats with the fiber, pectin, and vitamin C. The only dogs interested this morning were Gus and one of the puppies-Lil' Blacky. This puppy loves everything that his Uncle Gus loves. Wherever he goes, the young one will follow.

Charlie has joined Gus and I at the computer as I write this blog. He has lost the tug of war (again) with Violet and wants Mom to console him. Violet almost always wins when they play games. She is determined and he is a gentle bubba. I appreciate that Charlie is so gentle. The patience needed for the puppies from the older dogs is real and it is a blessing.  Next time Charlie, next time.

All of us would benefit from fresh air but it is too cold to stay outside for very long. The sunshine is lovely though, and greatly appreciated. The snow is needed for the water tables but I am really tired of it.

 Gratitude! The honeycrisp apple with my Gus is where I will start today.
