Life with Dogs

I was celebrating a lovely spring day last night like any red blooded female who'd taken a long bike ride, followed by a horse ride, followed by some barn cleaning. With wine, a newspaper and my camera. I was sitting in my lawn chair waiting for the sun to hit the barn so I could get a photo of the barn in spring when I realized the dogs were putting on a show of their own.
So I snapped a few self portraits. Flattering angle, non? The photo above shows Coop doing the "go for the cheek" move with Gabby countering with the open-mouth move.

Well, I had more photos to post but Mr. Blogger isn't too happy with the size of my images. Well, you get the picture. Me and the pups are doing great. All's well on the farm. How 'bout you?

What a day it was! I've got a little sunburn on my cheeks and sore legs from my bikeride with Ben. Glorious, simply glorious. I'm so pooped from my bid day, I'm lucky to come back to work for some rest.

Well, its the submarine hard aground in the background of the first photo that intrigues ME most. And the two wrought iron observation chairs are a nice social touch - is that so friends can join you waiting for the incoming tide to see if that white thing actually floats? It MUST be gas-powered, non? If it doesn't move, maybe paint a mural on it with a sailor peeking out that obvious turret on the top? I already have a pony - so you could name it after yourself: the "RS (for Rebecca's ship) Cowgirl". Or, if that don't fly try black cow spots and call it the "got milk"?
Does it REALLY rain that much in Columbus? Was that originally floating in your pond? Cant wait to see it in person.

Well gosh darn it, you are very observant there Lady B!
The ground right behind me is high and dry as they say. The pond would be to my left...just down the hill. It's currently drowning my best asparagus patch. Luckily there are more asparagusses around here but that one was the Bad Ass of Asparagus patches. oops, did I just say that??

Bwaaaaahahaha! What a funny Floridian, you are Barbara. That's not a submarine, it's a propane tank, or, as it is affectionately known by us unfortunate northerners who had them filled almost weekly during our last, hideous winter, a pig!

Lady Barbara said...

Now, now Sara! Actually, I shudder at the thought of being called a Floridian. You need to know, my dear, that I am called that only under extreme protest. The worst part about this place is that those ubiquitous and, I swear, deliberately ugly air conditioning units - stuck, droning away month in and month out, like big square worts on the sides of mile after boring mile of tacky dated fake stucco and aluminum seventies ranch houses - don't bloody well FLOAT!
Actually, I LIKE pigs...especially the little pink squealy babies.. And submarines. And ponies. And lakes in the yard. And asperguts are my all-time favorites. In short, better a pig that looks like a friendly submarine in your yard than a money-sucking wheezing wort!
Get the wine chilled - I'm almost on my way!
