It's a Good Day

Good Friday

Enjoy your day.

The Show-Off

In a word:

dazzling !!!

Nighty night, all.

Dandy Eye Candy

The dandelion is not typically a plant one looks forward to seeing in his yard. Before ridding the premises of said growth, however, take a moment, albeit brief, to get up close and personal with this multi-dimensional herb. It is delicate, it is spindly, it is wispy, it is stalwart, it is showy.

This little fellow reminds me of a blackberry. Oh. No, no. Not that blackberry.

Hope you're enjoying this most pleasant week.

Nighty night, all.

Beachcomber Newcomers

This past Sunday afternoon marked the first time Deutsch and Scout went to a beach. No, it wasn't exactly the Atlantic Ocean; rather, it was the Chesapeake Bay. And the great thing is that those two boys took to it like ducks to water. They got all wet and sandy while exploring everything in their path, like seashells, driftwood, seaweed, and little sea critters. I think they would have stayed longer than this, our first visit, had our schedule permitted.

We had about a ten to twelve minute walk from where we parked our vehicle to the actual beach. We enjoyed the extra exercise as we made our way along this "tree tunneled road."

Scout moves so quickly along the water's edge that his right paw catches the leash. Once his paw is freed, it's back to beach business.

Squidley and the boys leave a trio of prints in the sand.

This is the way back to the vehicle, and though Deutsch and Scout enjoy the walk, they happily enjoy some r and r on the way home.

And now for a little more r and r for the four of us.

Nighty night.

The Daffodil Twins

Despite the off and on rainfall we've experienced, the outdoors continually grows prettier. Hey, for that matter, the rain is kinda neat, too.

Still feeling a bit under the weather (no pun intended), so I'll simply say nighty nite.

Achy Breaky Head

Tonight's dinner was wonderful.

It's been a good day, but a terrible headache is sending me to beddy bye early.

Nighty night.

Out on a Limb: the Sequel to the Sequel

Prior to this morning, I had been highly concerned about the situation pictured in yesterday's post: a broken limb situated on a stable limb, very high up and most definitely not reachable without an exceedingly tall ladder or some sort of special equipment. The limb possibly could cause serious injury to Squidley or me or Deutsch or Scout.

The above photos show what I found this morning upon walking outdoors. What great relief! I am so, so thankful.

Nighty night, all.
