Well, technically, it’s only riding in car (singular) with dogs. But the other way sounds better. 

Today ended up gorgeous. Blue sky, bright sunshine, lovely Vitamin D. Family breakfast. A solid nap. A short putter in the yard–to weed a bit, and to notice my dogwood is happy. I’d always wanted one, dogwood, and received this beauty as a present last year. [For the record, I love useful, practical gifts. And especially ones I don’t have to dust.]



After weeding, and admiring my happy little tree, I burned through two gallons of weed killer out in the back field. Blasted little camas roots. {grumble, grumble}

Then, off for a Sunday afternoon tradition: a ride to Dairy Queen for ice cream. The #hairybeasts love ice cream. I think it’s in the Top 10 things they love best, although I’m not sure what order it would go in…running, swimming, napping, digging, playing #dodgedog, ice cream, popcorn, cheez itz, hunting, bacon…

Riding in cars with dogs #goodtimes. 

Buy oil for the lawn tractors.  

What a glorious day. Simply lovely. I played hookey from work. All right, I took the day off. I took the day off and took myself on my annual outing to the Wooden Shoe tulip fields. 



I got to the fields early. It’s best to get there early, or you’ll have to share all your pictures with people. I mean…all your pics will have people in the.  



The mountain was out. SQWEEEEE!!!

Tulips, sunshine. A truly restorative day. 

I’m a big fan of the sky. Look outside and there might be poofy clouds floating by. Look again in five minutes and there could be rain bucketing. 

Then again, the rainbow after the storm before.   

And later, a brilliant sunset.
