Bonnie and Snoopy share a peaceful moment here while I do some gardening and read Barbra Streisand‘s first book “My Passion For Design.”

It’s a different experience to read that book this time now that I’m rebuilding a home after the fire I had. I’ve also been watching a lot of videos on home rebuilding after a fire just to understand the steps better. It’s heart-wrenching to see so many families go through what I went through, and I’m not even looking for families who lost pets like I did. Once in a while, I’ll hear about such things on the news and people losing their human family too. Shea made a good point the other day. Why do houses still burn? I’d really like to know that answer myself.
