My favorite holiday is just weeks away—Halloween! Each year, my costume-wearing dogs happily posed for photos, knowing they would be rewarded with cookies!

All four of my beloved dogs now wait for me at the Rainbow Bridge. For them, I hope our time apart is just the blink of any eye. For me, I wish the same thing.

Aspen celebrated with a new toy – and cookies!

Whenever I see the letter “T” in nature, it always makes me think of my first dog, Twinkie. This particular letter is not too difficult to find, especially if you’re actively looking for it. But when it practically jumps off the sidewalk, road, or path in front of me, I can’t help but wonder if it’s a sign from Twinkie – her way of saying, “Hi, Mom, I’m here with you.”

Other letters – like A, M, and Q – are not so easy to find in nature. But a couple of weeks ago I found all three – within twenty-four hours!

Coincidence? Maybe. But I prefer to think of them as signs from my girls. And if you’re wondering how Quest’s sign is related to nature, you’re right. That one isn’t. But how about this next one?

On June 17th I saw this book – The Feather Quest – in the Little Free Library at Bass River State Park. So I was surrounded by nature and the book is about birds, so essentially nature.

A couple of days ago I was happy to find another “A” on my neighborhood walk.

I’m going to keep watching for signs. Why? Because it brings me joy to see certain letters (A, M, Q & T!) pop up unexpectedly as I continue to walk the same routes that I shared with my girls for so many years.

My three girls are celebrating their half-birthday together for the first time since 2021. Today they turn 16.5! May they run free and eat as many pupcakes as they want!
