NOTE! The old easy-to-use Link-up tool is no longer available and we now have to use this new one. So fingers crossed that it works! (The instructions on how to set up the new link are not that clear, but I think it should work.) :-)

The eight smaller squares are more like Instagram. Click a square to get to a blog post. The newest post is always the one at the top left. Hope this helps!

The wonderful poet, Mary Oliver, died recently. Did you know that she was a great dog lover? She writes this:
A dog can never tell you what she knows
from the smells of the world,
but you know, watching her,
that you know
almost nothing.
