A few days ago I found a heart on my trails.
I’m sure one of my girlfriends left it for me, but she still hasn’t shown her furry face.
And then you know what happened?
The heart disappeared.
Now I’ll never find out which girlfriend it was.
This is so sad.
.
But something new appeared where that heart had been.
And even though I might never find out which girlfriend loves me – I know exactly who loves me now.
Jesus loves me!
Woo woo!
I’m minding my own business, walking on my trails when what should appear, but a heart.
Not just any old heart.
Someone made this heart.
And the logical conclusion is that it was one of my girlfriends.
She must be around here somewhere waiting for me.
She probably wanted to surprise me with this heart first.
And then she’ll give me a bigger surprise by jumping out of the bushes.
Okay, that should happen anytime now.
I’m waiting.
I don’t even hear a bush rattling.
Come on! I know you’re out there somewhere.
Come out and tell me you love me.

It sure is quiet around here.
Do you think she laid her heart down and left?

I pass this stump almost every day when I go walking on my trails, but there’s something different about it today.
This stump has a heart.
It never had a heart before.
Not until today.
I wonder if this stump went to the Land of Oz and got its heart.
You know, like the tin man who wanted a heart.
So he went and talked to the wizard.
That tin man had to do a lot of hard things to find out that he really did have a heart.
I wonder what this stump had to do.
Maybe build a few rock piles – or knock some down.
Or chase away the aliens when they try to invade my trails.
Or it might have stood guard against those nasty javelina when they tried to eat the prickly pear cactus.
Whatever that stump did, it worked.
And I think I’ll hang around it for awhile because…
This stump has heart.
Look at this!
The only snow I could find on my trails today was being hugged by cactus.
I guess the cactus really likes the snow. It wouldn’t let it go.
Actually, I think it loves the snow. You see that heart on the cactus?
I put a heart on my blog yesterday for all of you, but I think this cactus is showing it’s affection for the snow.
.
Or maybe it loves me and the snow.
But my puddle has a different story to tell.
My puddle seems to want me to go away.
It grew some armor or something.
It’s all solid and crunchy on top.
But I’m not going to let that stop me.
Yikes! My puddle is cold inside.
I’m going to have to have a talk with my puddle.
Puddle, I think you need to get a heart like that cactus has.
And make sure it’s a warm heart.
This time of year on colder days I have to go to great lengths to find adventure.
There aren’t many people or dogs on my trails and most of my adventures start with people or dogs – or the mysteries they’ve left behind.
So I’ve been searching and searching for some kind of adventure on my trails.
No luck.
Nothing. Nada.
.
I hate to admit it, but I even looked for a bit of color so my person would get her camera out.
Even though I hate waiting for her to take all those pictures– unless there are some good smells in the area, that is.
But there’s not a single flower out this time of year.
Finally, I found something worth posting on my blog.
Not an adventure.
Not even a flower.
I give you my heart.
My person and I met this man on my trails and he stopped and gave me loves. Some people give me loves, but most of them just walk by. Sometimes they say something to me, but a lot of them ignore me. It’s really disappointing, but that makes it special when I do get loves.
This man talked to my person for a couple minutes – general stuff like how nice a day it was. Well of course it was a nice day. Anytime I get loves it’s a nice day.
We were about to go on when the man reached into his pocket and handed something to my person.
And then I realized who he was.
The Heart Man!
We don’t see him often. We’ve only seen him twice before. But whenever we see him he gives my person a little red rock shaped like a heart.
I think it’s pretty cool that he does that – and especially cool that he gives me loves. But I think there’s one more thing he needs to do.
I wonder if he could get some heart shaped treats to hand out to dogs.
