So long, well-loved furniture

Our friend Judy has lived with a terror in the form of a destructive dog for two years.

She's finally found a new home for the crazy canine, but she's been left with a house full of furniture that's been gnawed on or ripped open.

This weekend, we were able to come to the rescue by offering her some furniture. (And, no! We never offered to take that devil dog off her hands.)

Judy's buddy, Rick, loaded up the furniture in his truck to take home to Judy this morning. Truly a Perfect Moment. He was a little bemused, but were were thrilled. And Judy called to thank us, choked up some because this is just one more step in creating a calm and peaceful place to live.

The timing was perfect for us.

The chair, ottoman and coffee table we gave Judy this weekend were all from our early days together. They are worn. And we squeezed every bit of use out of them in the 14 years we've had them. But, we have no kids and no pets, so they must look like brand spanking new to the newly dog-free Judy.

It's such a simple thing that people do for each other all the time.  But it helped make our weekend perfect.  Thanks, Rick!   You're welcome, Judy!

I've spent many lovely moments lately looking at photos on Instagram. This comes from the Morning Edition pages. Want a real treat? Check out this little cutie: Morning Edition, baby.

Spring training: the return of baseball, friends and mighty ducks

"Spring has sprung. The grass has riz. I wonder where the birdies is... The bird is on the wing. But that's absoid. The wing is on the bird."

The boids are here. At least the ducks have arrived. On their way north, these two ducks have stopped by to lounge around our swimming pool in Tempe, Arizona. It's a lovely 58 degrees this morning, with a 100% chance of precipitation.

On days like this in Arizona, locals often say, "Ye-up, this is why we live in Arizona." So true.



And, I guess this beautiful weather is what attracts the ducks. And attracts Spring Training, which began this week.

And Spring Training brings our friends, Jen and Holly .. a couple of cute birds from Atlanta for their regular spring visit. They love the Cubs who warm up for the season in nearby Mesa.



Ducks and friends and baseball.

Spring has definitely sprung. And brought with it a flock of Perfect Moments.
