summer

31d

Summer was all happy go lucky.
Playing with Tennessee like they didn't have a care in the world.
All of the sudden a gust of wind hit the house and like a flash they were under the table.
The safest shelter from the wild and wooly wind noises.
Summer is more entertaining than pretty much anything else in our world.
We might have to see if we can all fit under there depending on how things go over the next three weeks.
Today I wrote another 75 voter encouragement postcards bound for Colorado. 325 to go.
Summer says never give up but hiding is ok.

The last of our beach adventure photos.
This was way more fun than staying home and doing housework.

Summer's wrinkly forehead makes me smile.
Even when I'm not in the mood to smile.
Then I am in the mood to smile and it's all her fault.
It is close to impossible to be cranky around here.

Golden lab is lying on a blanket covered sofa next to her pal. One paw is on his leg and the other is hanging off the side. She is looking intently at her orange ball that was deposited on a brown table.

I had business to attend to this morning so it looked like Summer's birthday adventure might have to wait until tomorrow.
All of the sudden opportunity knocked.
We quick grabbed our backpack and drove towards the break in the weather that seemed to have stopped right over our favorite beach.
Summer was so, so happy.

My favorite lap dog shared my chair this morning.
Warm and cozy is the perfect way to start the new month.
We all got some good sleep last night.
Thanks to everyone for the supportive toots as I miss our grandson who moved to another state.
I know that all of our grandkids are capable, kind, empathetic humans and they will make the best of the circumstances we are all slogging through.
Today is laundry and cooking raspberry jam day.
Maybe a Summer adventure too.
Good morning Mastodon.

I took way too many pictures of Summer at the beach today.
It was windy.
She retrieved my hat several times.
The sun was intermittent.
What a joy to spend an hour on the beach with a happy dog.

Golden lab is running down a sand dune. She has a driftwood stick in her mouth. The sky is blue with white clouds.

Golden lab is enthusiastic about bringing me a big stick. The Pacific Ocean waves are behind her on a sandy beach.

Golden lab is happy to be standing on her favorite beach. Tall sand dunes start behind her.

What's wrong with this picture?
Summer thinks I won't notice that she pilfered one of my socks.
She finds comfort in holding a forbidden sock.
With all of the angst and unrealized, so far, hope in our corner of the universe today I will choose to allow her this small comfort.
She never chews them up.
Today seems like a good day to let her hold my sock as her touchstone just like I hold her as mine.
We are so thankful to hear that her happiness is contagious and touches others.
It is a joy to share her joy.
Thank you for being our Mastodon friends.

Summer notices every little thing.
She knows that when I put a lid on my coffee cup that I am going to take her for a walk.
She runs to fetch boot socks and a hat for me.
I feel like it would be impossible to fool her. She knows what I'm going to do before I know.
My husband seems to feel like getting out every other day so today was a rest day for him.
Summer said today was a good day for the longest walk.
She does love the beach.
Into the fog and drizzle we went.
Fun was had.
Good morning Mastodon.

Three photo series of the most delightfully weird I've found on my hikes so far 😊

On a mossy rock in the middle of a forest, with no houses anywhere nearby, the top of a bottle was sticking up and when we lifted the bottle there was a little porcelain ballerina inside. How did it get there? Who knows. How long has it been there? Also unknown... but I'm accepting theories 😁

According to the weather forecast big rain is coming.
Supposedly we have a three day window to batten down the hatches.
Time to put on our work clothes and get things done outside in this unseasonably warm weather.
Summer volunteered to serve as team leader today. She will be in charge of safety protocols, in practice and in good intentions.
It was in this spirit that she ran to get me a hat and gloves.
I will certainly be reminded regularly to hydrate too.
We commenced with moving thirty pots of dahlias to their winter home and picked up all the dog poop that some how got distributed far and wide on Summer's front acre.
Now to try out my refurbished old mower.
Good thing I got all that extra rest last night.

Golden lab is bringing me a green hat that has Smokey the bear and the word resist on it.
She is turning to the side to hand me the hat right before she licked my glasses so I couldn't see.

These two have the most hilarious discussions.
He tries to tell her that she really is a dog. Summer doesn't believe a word of it.
She does humor him though and even laughs at his jokes.
I'm so glad because my capacity for laughing at lame jokes has diminished as my age gets ever older.
We are excited that my daughter was able to eat yogurt this morning and is expecting to go home from the hospital a day early.
It sounds like her surgery was more complicated than expected but still went well.
Today means laundry and mopping here at home.
Summer is happy on days the vacuum stays in the closet.
Good morning Mastodon.

Summer says that we are super lucky to have our very own veteran to love.
She thought about the best way to start the day and decided to bring her cat Tennessee along to help.
If she shares her Tennessee with you know you're special.
My husband started new antibiotics yesterday and is feeling almost perky this morning.
My daughter is back to work already.
She is amazing.
Our lives have settled down for a minute.
I am thankful.
Good morning, Mastodon.
