Earth Day 2022. Traditionally, our little family participates in the "Painting of the Paws", a time-honored tradition when we paint feet and dog paws to celebrate the day. We spend extra time in the backyard, enjoying the sunshine and listening to the wind in the trees and the birdsong. Feeling like we needed a li'l "extra" magic, I plugged in the Tangerine Dream soundtrack to the old 80s movie "Legend" to add to the atmosphere. This year is our first Earth Day with Blu, the foster pup turned family member. He was a little anxious about the paint on his paws, but was a good sport and allowed us to dabble our paints and decorate him with flowers and smilie faces. Note to self: anything involving a return to childhood, nature, or both, is a good way to start and finish a day.
