Hello and welcome back! Here we are in May already and as expected it's shaping up to be a crazy busy month but with a lot of good things to come--travel, family, friends, BBQ and the opening of the pool.
Here's a look at how it's started in last week's pictures:
With our outings over the weekend I needed to fill my tank after work today and ouch--the summer gas prices are here and they hurt! On a better note, Bailey and I have started neighborhood walks which is something I have really missed since Bella passed. She is doing great with her leash training but is a bit anxious when it comes to new surroundings. The more we go out though the more she'll get used to it and start to love it as much as I do.
Rusty loves remote work days where we can have morning coffee together. He's ready to jump up in my lap and have a nice comfortable nap. He also always has his motor going in the mornings--love to hear him purr. In the evenings after we put Bailey to bed his favorite thing to do is explore and check out her toys. After we go to bed I can sometimes hear him playing with a few of them. Hopefully someday they will play together. Her energy level right now is just a bit much for him but with time she will mellow out.
Bring on May! Everything is always in bloom during May and makes our yard feel alive again. It also sounds more alive with all the birds and insects chirping or buzzing away. We hear them out on our walks too. Bailey has got this and just after a few days feels more confident walking the neighborhood and looks forward to our little outings.
Day 123- Thursday, 5/2/24
I totally forgot I received these beachy shoes for Christmas until I came across them in the closet and got to wear them for the first time today. It's been so nice and sunny out. Later, Bailey and I enjoyed some time in the yard near the shade on the cool grass. She's giving me kisses. I usually play frisbee out here with her before walking so she is not too hyper on the walk and that works well for us.
Day 124- Friday, 5/3/24
I finally found the time to get my shingles shot and will need a booster in a few months. Thankfully, although I've heard horror stories about side effects, all I had was a sore arm and a little fatigue. Good thing frisbee + walking does this to the pup so I could take it easy this evening too. TGIF!
Day 125- Saturday, 5/4/24
It POURED rain all day here in the valley and in the Sierras they even had the most snow fall in a single day for the year. It is May, right? Luckily by dinner time the rain stopped because we had this event to go to put on by the physical therapy place John goes too. With better weather it was nice to get out and have a fun time with good friends.
Day 126- Sunday, 5/5/24
Happy Cinco de Mayo! We made tacos and margaritas which were yummy and a great way to end the week.
That's all for now. Check back next week for more fun.
You two look great at the dinner!!
