With inspiration from my dear sister-in-law, Rachel, I embark on this adventure - capturing an image every day for a year both to have for myself and to share with you. My hope is that through this effort, I will "keep peace in the noisy confusion of life" - taking time to notice the small things, celebrate the big things, and more fully appreciate the gift of each new day. Of course, I had every intention of beginning this on January 1st - but when that day came and went without a blog, Rachel assured me that this project can begin on any day. After a slow start, I really hope I can pull it off - and that you'll enjoy it!

Day 32 - February 10: Disney Dogs


Old Medfield lore claims that Walt Disney often visited our town to visit his friend, Justin Dart, founder of the Rexall Drugstore chain and married to actress Jane Bryan.  Disney's plane would land adjacent to Hart's property, in a field behind what is now an elementary school.  Disney was so taken by our quaint town (the only Medfield on the planet) that "Medfield" became the town in his film, "Flubber".  The field remains, owned by the town and enthusiastically enjoyed by a multitude of dogs and their owners each morning.  The pack represents extreme diversity - the Pug to the Bernese and every size, shape, and color in between - and as they frolic and wrestle and race, it looks to me like a big hearted family film by Disney.
