It got cold Labor Day weekend and in spite of my confident predictions it looks like it’s going to stay cold. Not cold cold, you understand, just normal fall weather, but I was sort of counting on some nice, warm days in September. Everyone is pulling boats out, getting them shrink-wrapped, Closing Up For The Season–except for this one, hopeful guy. Maybe he’s just a procrastinator. Sometimes it’s hard to tell the difference.
I have been to places with cloudless skies. In February or March I long to visit such a place again. But I could never live there. I need this.
It was good to take a little time off, play with the dogs, feel some sun. I have definitely been spending too much time at this keyboard. So Miss Sadie and I were enjoying ourselves in a peaceful, ladylike way, strolling along, conversing in our way. We found a good place to sit and think.
Naturally the Cowboy took advantage of our blissful distraction and found a good spot for a thorough rolling. He came up extremely pleased with himself, with a gull feather twisted into his fur. I would give just about anything to be that pleased with myself, just once.
Ah well. Maybe next week.

It looks like the Cowboy had a great time and you got to relax a bit. We know your presentation tomorrow night will be just great. Wish we could be there to hear it. We will be looking forward to your comments about it.

He did, I did, and you will definitely be there in spirit. I’ll send you a copy of the slideshow, too. If it hadn’t been for all the help you gave me on the genealogy part, I’d still be at Square One.

Abandoned to joy–that’s a happy dog! I see Sarah drop to roll, and I shout, “No!” Do our dogs think we are killjoys?

Our dogs think we are wonderful–we provide excellent treats. That and a couple of outings a day and a warm place to sleep are pretty much all they require of us. They just think we don’t appreciate some of the finer things in life. Our loss. Their roll.
