Catching up…

March 7, 2012 By Elizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acorns 6 Comments

Image from Keep Calmomatic

I am trying to “keep calm” but I feel as if I am drowning. I have been away from home for 21/2 months and am feeling a little overwhelmed by all of the mail, boxes, Christmas decorations (yes, they are still up), and appointments, not to mention a sick pup and work.

My pup was at the vet yesterday and she has “allergies” in her ears, and colitis, basically an irritated colon caused possibly by the stress of travel. We are armed with ear wash for every other day, ear drops for everyday, antibiotics for twice a day and her everyday medication for her Cushings Disease. Have you ever tried to get a dog to eat that many meds in a day? Talk about a challenge. She is feeling a little better and managed to keep her dinner down. Thank you for everyone who asked after her welfare, your concern is greatly appreciated.

Have a great day!

    Hi Elizabeth! I was wondering where you were….but admittedly have been preoccupied with life too and not in blogland as much as I would have liked to be but things are finally settling down…Teddy has an ear infection so we also are doing the meds and ear wash…never a dull moment! Welcome home, wow that was a long time away…….guess you will be playing catch up now. Enjoy your day and remember to pace yourself:)

    my dear heart, I am sooooo sorry to hear about your little pup's situation! I have been so overwhelmed and busy with things that I somehow missed your mentioning that she was ill! And then YOU, having to come home to so much, that I know you have no idea where to start. That is scary! BUT start with one thing at a time, each day, then it will get down. SENDING YOU A BIG HUG MY FRIEND!!!! Anita

    Aww your poor pup that is a lot of meds. Dylan dog has to take thyroid meds twice a day and I stick them in the sharpest cheese I can find, he doesn't like mild cheese. Now that you're home I hope your pup starts to feel better.

    Oh! Your poor dog. I've always found wrapping medication in a slice of ham works with my dogs.
    Your journey home sounds nerve racking, I hope you take a few days to catch up slowly.
    Best wishes Jude x

“Chocolate is health food for the soul”~Mirand “Chocolate is health food for the soul”~Miranda Gray.

This hot cocoa is perfect for the remaining days of winter and we have a few, so come over and check out the recipe, then go and spend awhile looking at all of the beautiful creations of @bravetart #hotcocoa #hotchocolate #hotcocoamix #chocolate #winter #winterbeverage #winterdrink #chocolateislife #ilovechocolate #hotbeverage #food #foodporn #foodphotography #foodie #foodphotography #foodstyling

This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life through the blur of tears and sorrow. Sunday night my friend of 34 years lost her husband of 36 years, because of Covid he did not get to meet or hold his newborn grandson. Then just an hour ago we received a call that my husbands best friend died of a massive heart attack this morning. Sometimes life just knocks you to your knees and all you can do is pray for the  loved ones you’ve lost, cherish their memories and let your time with them sustain you until you meet again. Then you ask God for the strength to get up and move forward. #life #loss #givemestrength #givemestrengthlord #pray
Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping up from the ground, bright and colorful flowers in the garden center the weather and the calendar tell me otherwise. So I am hunkering down and taking solace inside enjoying the details of a collected home and life. This tapestry is a piece that we purchased over 25 years ago in Paris, it hang in the dining room and makes me smile every time I see it because it reminds me of such a happy and beautiful place. What do you collect? What brings you joy in your home? #collectedhome #collectedlook #homedecor #myhome #homesweethome #interiordesign #frenchprovincial #france #frenchdecor #tapestry #instahome #instahomedecor #acolectedlife #collection
Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. How is it in your “neck of the woods?” We took a long road-trip a few weeks ago to the beautiful @colonialwmsburg . I love this place, there is so much to see and do and even wearing masks and social distancing you can still enjoy the history and the beauty of this living museum. Today I am home doing the weekend chores, and of course doing a little baking. I hope that you have a fabulous weekend. #colonialwilliamsburg #williamsburg #colonialhouse #livinghistory #livinghistorymuseum #museum #winterfun #roadtrip #wanderlust #weekend #weekendvibes #weekendmood

“If winter comes, can spring be far behind?” ~ “If winter comes, can spring be far behind?” ~Percy Bysshe Shelly  my answer to that is I hope not! This has been a strange winter and I am sure that for the 4 million people without power in19 states they are hoping spring is sooner rather than later. I hope that you are all well and keeping safe. I’m praying for all of you without power and heat and hope it is restored soon. #pinkaesthetic #art #acrylicpainting #painting #details #artistsoninstagram #artwork #artworld #color #artoftheday #quote #quoteoftheday #quotestoliveby #artofinstagram
