Dogs of the Day
Today was the first day in a few, that I’ve been able to settle in, do some chores, play an extended amount of time with the puppies, and have a nice visit with my daughter and her boyfriend. We’ve been moving cows, you see… Elsa and Dally were Dogs of The Day…
Multitasking

Photo of “Cuteness”
A couple of weeks ago I wrote an entry about “Cuteness”. Lucas and I attended school for the last time this spring, and once again, we had the pleasure of listening to kindergartners read. This time the weather was cooperative and we managed to be outside among the shade of playground equipment. “Cuteness” was her…
