Sanguine Tenacious Tidings

Pine Woods

I inhale the essence of:

Good morning.

Pine is the essence of winter at this time of year, I think. Because of trees and wreaths for the holidays. Pine livens up the household and gives off a scent that reminds of walking along a forest trail.

No scents inside the house full of animals is pleasant. Two of my dogs have hunting genes and are inclined to smell anything that involves other species like birds on the front porch or mice in the walls. They also have exceptional hearing, which causes them to alert when there are birds at the feeder, deer browsing near the house, or rabbits hopping around close to a window or the porch.

Winter still solidly at home outside, More snow in the forecast. After a few years of mild winters this is just not fun.

Keep warm.
