An uneventful week led to a quiet weekend. If there is something exciting happening, it's not happening here. It was sunny and cool on Saturday and this morning the day started with clouds and a little bit of snow.
The most excitement we had were the dogs playing frisbee.
Hamlet could hardly contain himself...
It got to be so much for CarrieAnne that she
took a break in the neighboring field...

Last night after dinner, Carl was cleaning up the kitchen (how nice was that??) And I asked him if he would bring me a glass of water and of course he said that he would. After a few minutes into the office he came with a FLY-SWATTER...He really thought that was what I said I wanted. Clearly we have a communication problem or someone has a hearing problem, I'm not sure of which. (Below Rudi)
I know I should relish these quiet times. As the weather warms up, peace and quiet will give way to work outside. One of our projects will be to plant the 10 bare-rooted Scottish-Pine trees that we got from Virginia Department of Forestry a few weeks ago. I know they are pretty small now, which may be the reason why they are so inexpensive ($2.00 each). But I'm optimistic and hopeful I'll be here to see them grow into beautiful trees, providing a natural screen for the far side of our yard where the new driveway has been put in.
I hope you've had a good weekend!!
Sometimes we need quiet, uneventful weekends to recharge those batteries. Looks like that was what you did. The dogs got theirs recharged on the run, of course.
ReplyDeleteLooks like things are greening up nicely. Looks wonderful.
Kim, so glad you had a quiet weekend...sometimes those are the best and much needed!
ReplyDeleteI love what your husband 'heard'...that is really funny :)
I love the photos of the dogs...my heart melts!
So nice to see the dogs outside and playing Frisbee!
ReplyDeleteThose will be great trees in a few years and when they start to grow, they will make a good barrier.
Great photos Kim!
I love quiet weekends. There is something to be said for uneventfulness. It was a bit uneventful here this weekend too. I did however have my mom's BIG black lab for a little vacation at my house. My mom went away for the weekend and Molly came to stay with us. Mabel and Sassy loved their guest. Molly has gone home now and I am off to clean the kitchen floor from giant dirty paw prints. :) I hope you have a wonderful week ahead.

Quiet is good. It's nice to be home in Seattle.
ReplyDeleteSigh....
Who is chasing the frisbee?
Hamlet looks very relaxed and happy.
Sounds like you had a well-deserved break with your hubby and puppies. Love the picture of Hamlet. He looks so content. :)
ReplyDeleteI see some happy campers. And grass!!!!
ReplyDeleteKIm, Seeing your guys running around outside is a very peaceful setting, we love it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the laugh about the water vs. fly swatter. Sheila and I seem to be having more discussions like that recently.

Have a great week! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the photo of Hamlet. He shows excitement like Tsar does.
ReplyDeleteQuiet weekends are good. There will come busy times when you think back and wish for a quiet time.
We did that with trees from the state many years ago and wound up with a mini forest. It was wonderful.
I like quiet. Quiet is good. When I got home from a week away....Dillon was far from quiet !

Kim,
ReplyDeleteI love quite weekends also. Looks as if the dogs had a great day.
Those little Pine trees can grow real fast and will make a nice wind break.
Sounds as if a hearing check may be in Carl's future.
Take Care.
Yay for quiet weekends! Those are some happy pics! Love the flying frisbee dog :)

Your comment reminded me of Lyle Lovett's song, "Flyswatter/Icewater Blues"...
ReplyDelete"Honey put down that flyswatter
And pour me some ice water
And though I'll soon be going
Well I haven't gone yet
So come stand here beside me
And hold my hand gently
And tell me do you remember
The first time we met"
Great song. Thanks for the reminder... and the chuckle!
Wouldn't it be just great if spring started softly and gently entering our world,, so that when summer gets here- we would be all prepared for it? But spring is an emotional season, kinda of like the ocean,, it has temperment and moods,, and then all of a sudden,, it luls,,,, into summer.
ReplyDeleteYes, those little trees will grow up and be beautiful.
love
