YES, that's the sun, Foster.
He couldn't see it, but he sure could feel it yesterday as while tethered on a long rope as I painted.
Sadly, Foster needs to be secured when he's outside because of his blindness. The little guy moves so fast when he's on his own that he can disappear very quickly.
So, we've resorted to tethering him in close proximity to wherever we happened to be working. He seems happy enough with the new routine.
I spent some time close by working with my paint brush and bucket. While Foster enjoyed the spring sunshine, I dressed up enough sections of board fence to finish one full stretch.
Lots left to do but the places most viewed have a new white coat.
This morning, yet another glorious day awaits for outdoor enjoyment.
While taking a break from outdoor work yesterday afternoon, I drove past a young lady on horseback headed down Selkirk Road.
It turned out to be Taylor, whom I've known since she was a little girl. She's now a high school senior and trying to figure out the next chapter in her life.
Yesterday, she was enjoying a lifelong love of horseback riding.
We had a nice chat before I drove on through the Selkirk area.
Later, Foster and I walked to the hay field where Bill was pulling his cart to the woods and sending balls across the field for Bridie.
It felt so good to stand out in that field and simply take in all that Mother Nature has to offer. She was certainly spreading good cheer with the weather.
I also learned some monumental news yesterday. Keokee, the company that owns Sandpoint Magazine, Sandpoint Online, etc., has been sold to the Hagadone
Media Group out of Coeur d'Alene.
Hagadone owns the Daily Bee newspaper and several other area publications, so it's a natural fit for the company Chris Bessler created in 1990.
Having written for Sandpoint Magazine for most of those years, I'm feeling a sense of sadness coupled with hope, knowing that the aim is to keep this local enterprise the same.
That doesn't always happen, but Chris, who's working toward retirement, sounded reassuring in his announcement to longtime contributors.
I'm really happy to know that Trish Gannon will remain as editor. With her dedication and knowledge, she's a keeper.
One more reminder that the world keeps moving on.
With the sun shining out there, I'll call it a day here and wish everyone a Happy Thursday.

Thursday Throwbacks: images of the past from the photo library. Enjoy. 💜💜💜
Ann signs the Lodgepole log when our majestic lodgepole was still standing.
Dozens of folks joined our Lodgepole Society during the early years of our living here on the Lovestead.
Then, sadly, the tree, with its two trunks crashed to the ground.
It's still out there in that far pasture, both sections lying on the ground with no bark and no needles.
We miss our Lodgepole Society inductions.

This young horseman/our sibling has a significant birthday coming up this week.
