Simple pleasures

A warm spring-like sunny day today brought me out of doors. Otis and Riley and I enjoyed some simple pleasures.


A walk to the park where they could run to their hearts content.


And sniff.


Some back yard gardening.


Digging in the dirt and smelling and feeling the warm earth ~ turning the soil in the raised beds as I plan what veggies I want to put in this year.



Riley in the strawberry patch....again. Does he see a squirrel?


Relaxing and enjoying the outdoors. Ahhhhhhhh..........


What a nice break in January from the very cold weather we've been having. Looking forward to spring!

I hear ya sister! Hasn't it been great!

Donna, my sister had to put her cat to sleep yesterday after having her for 19 years! Have you ever heard of anyone having a cat for that long!? She has no children so this was her child!

Do you paint cats? I thought a painting of her child "babes" would cheer her up.

Have a great weekend! Glad the boys enjoyed their outing to the park!

It's raining here right now (9:00 pm) but the warm weather is certainly a nice welcome change! Glad the boys and you had a wonderful day!

We in Pennsylvania have had a break from the cold also. Isn't it heavenly?! Your doggies looks so cute...certainly enjoying their romp.
