Week 15

Welcome back and happy Tuesday! We had another busy week but a nice, slow and quiet weekend to help us decompress plus recharge. Spring here is in full force with better temps, more bugs, lots of chirping birds, many pretty flowers and wonderful full trees providing good shade again. It's nice to be outside these days.

Take a look at out pictures from last week:

Day 97- Monday, 4/7/25

We're starting another week with another birthday.  Happy Birthday to John!  The first picture is from last night when we celebrated with family and the second one is from today as he received extra love from Bailey on his special day.

Day 98- Tuesday, 4/8/25

We're all loaded up and ready to head off to dog training class. Thankfully it's super nice out now which means we can start having more classes outside.  All the dogs love that.  After class we watched the start to the new season of Handmaid's Tale.  It's been 2 years since the last season so I was grateful for the nice recap at the beginning.  Kind of eerie watching this particular show now more than ever given our current political climate. 

Day 99- Wednesday, 4/9/25

After work I had a blood draw just to for a regular health check and Bailey was a bit concerned.  I think the smell of the gauze and tape bothered her more than anything but nice to have her looking out for me.  Once I had a few minutes to relax and have bite to eat we both went out for a nice long walk through the park which is sporting a lot of new dandelions for spring.

Day 100- Thursday, 4/10/25

These two!  He really want's to hang out in the family room with us and she really wants to play with him but their energy and tolerance levels just don't quite match well yet.  We're working on slowly having them in the same space here and there but Bailey needs a bit more time to mature and settle more before Rusty will feel safe around her.  Outside our neighbors down the street have these uniquely colored daisies in bloom that catch my eye every time I walk by.  

 Day 101- Friday, 4/11/25

Our pool's stone wall was fixed this week.  Turns out more than the surface stones needed fixed.  Some of the supporting cement on both ends had to be redone as well, but it's all good and solid now--ready for summer swim.  TGIF! All the pool work was noisy and stressed Bailey out so she was happy when they left and I came home so she could decompress in comfort.

Day 102- Saturday, 4/12/25

It's Rusty's turn for the comfort of my lap, and it was a quiet weekend so at least I had time to give to him.  We had nice low 80's temps so it was perfect for cropped pants and bare feet plus a light lunch.

Day 103- Sunday, 4/13/25

Today was another nice spring day and perfect for spending time out back doing some gardening.  I'm happy to see my rose bushes flourishing and starting to come into bloom.  The new leaf buds have also now all turned into pretty, full and vibrant leaves offering much needed shade.  It was also a great day to grill out back so John threw some nice steaks on the BBQ to serve up for our Sunday dinner. After, we watched another long awaited new season premiere.

 

Done for another week!  We're looking ahead to more wonderful weather and will marvel in that to feed the soul.
