  4. When I watched the first video you posted, well, I felt moved, since that's the same love I'm living with my Giannotto: he lives outside with Bea, in the little house of their own, but he has such a special love for me, I suppose he thinks I'm a duck and kisses me with his beak on my knees and on my mouth, I didn't think it to be possible, really !

    Wishing you a wonder-filled new week,
    I'm sending my dearest love to you, my cherished Lady

    XOXO Dany

  6. When referring to climate I use the word 'anomaly' - global anomaly, not global warming or freezing , as we have both conditions in an extreme and worrying way.

  7. Train yourself to listen to that small voice that tells us what's important and what's not. Oh how important that is and remember the important bits.

  14. Hi Linda...I like the bear...and yes, global warming is going to change things big time! So sorry to hear about your ER experience. I intend to comment more fully about that as we had a similar experience here recently. Would you mind sending me your email (send it to yanson30@aol.com) as I'd rather discuss this issue more privately. Thanks! And thank you so much for all your comments. Glad you like the new blog!

  23. La terapia con patos no la conocía si con otros animales. Los elefantes seguro que aparte del cariño el tractor seguro les trae buenos recuerdos.

    Saludos.

  29. Hi, Linda! I finally had a chance to try out the chicken recipe you featured recently ~ the one where you rub a chicken with herbs and cook it in a crockpot without liquid. It tuned out absolutely delicious and moist. I'm going to use the leftovers and the broth to make chicken soup for tomorrow night.

    I enjoyed your videos. The duck and the elephants were heart-warming, and the fruit flies were fascinating. I have several Great Courses course DVDs I'm slowly watching. They make excellent viewing. Loved that quote about not trading authenticity for approval. That's one mistake I haven't made, although following the beat of your own drum can be painful it's less painful than giving up yourself. I hope your week has gotten off to a great start, my special Montreal friend! Sending you love and hugs.

  30. I came back to comment on this post as I realized after reading about your experience at the ER, that I hadn't done so. Do hope you are feeling much better. This is a lovely post. I have often directed family and friends here.

  35. Thank you for sharing those beautiful and/or informative videos and quotes, Linda. The duck story is wonderful and amazing and I had no idea that fruit flies play such an important part in brain science.
    Your had a quite awful experience in the ER. We never had to wait so many hours to get treated. I hope your eye is much better in the meanwhile.
