Enjoying the Day

The weather this weekend could not be better!  Bright sun, warmth and not doing much have all helped me to FINALLY feel like myself again!  The trip to the farmers market on Saturday helped too.  I enjoy walking around seeing all the produce and plants--However I have to admit to not buying much.  
I know my feeling better makes Carl and the dogs happy because I have to be honest and admit, that I've not been the most pleasant person to be around.  Even Sam seems to be feeling better.  This morning when the timed-light in the office came on he started barking, giving the wake up call to the entire house.  Its such a good feeling to know that he's enjoying the day.
I think the other dogs enjoyed being on the porch watching me while I worked in my flower garden.  They were quick to point out any weeds I didn't pull and where the poison ivy is.  
The butterflies were finding something they loved around the driveway....Any idea what it could be?   
Whatever you've done this weekend, I hope you've enjoyed it too!

  1. Hi from Sierra Rose and MOM!
    Thank you for stopping by.
    We are good :) Enjoying some nice (not windy) weather here too :)
    Went to our local farmers market as well this morning, and are enjoying prepping for upcoming summer camping trips.
    (My (MOM) work has been so so busy, that downtime, has been mostly, taking Sierra on walks, and a glass of wine to unwind :)...so, not as much blogging time, unfortunately!
    Wish we could stop by for some big golden hugs!
    Best,
    Kristin & Sierra Rose

  4. Hi, It must be that type of weekend because I went out today and got a few plants and a birdbath. Of course I didn't weed at all; glad you've enjoyed the nice weather.
    Sending love your way.

  7. So glad you are feeling better. What great photos you have added here. Especially like the one with little Todd peeping through, the sort of little chap who isn't left out no matter what!

  8. Really glad to hear that you and Sam are feeling better, Kim!

    No clue what the butterflies were looking at.

    Isn't poison ivy just one of the most annoying plants?

    Hope you all have a great week!

  9. Hope you are have a good Sunday and will continue to feel better. Sorry Todd and you had the toad experience, but I am very glad to know about the problem. Take good care of yourself and be sure to do some fun stuff! Hope you have a great summer.

  10. What nice news from GP that everything is back to normal, happy bipeds and very happy dogs. Glad you are enjoying the day. We are going swimming. Hope to have some fun pictures to share(as long as the resident tiny dog cooperates!). Easton, a pool and two boys 12 & 9. Recipe for fun.

  13. I just read a few posts back, how is Todd, after the poisonous toad? What a scare that must have been...

    Oh those radishes...what are you going to do with them? Salads, buttered egg noodles, and radishes, ah garden bounties.

  21. Hi Kim
    I am glad the warm sunny weather, and some extra time for yourself has made you feel better. It really makes a difference! Digging in your flowerbed, or shopping at an outdoor market- is just what you need to do.
    (taking care of yourself)
    The photos of the dogs are just precious!!!!!
    And all those butterflys- are they drinking some water?
    They are beautiful all together.
    We are glad that Sam was feeling better today too.
    love

  22. It sounds like your weekend went great! It's so nice to just hang around the house and pull weeds sometimes! I'm glad Sam seems to be feeling better! :)

  23. Good to know that you are feeling better. Dogs definitely feel when something is wrong. When my husbands blood pressure is high, Roscoe immediately feels it. He will keep jumping on him and pacing back and forth around him. It is incredible.
    We don't really have farmers markets around here. Our weather has been rain and humidity. Lots of it, but we did manage to go out and work in the yard saturday and sunday. Moving plants around and cutting them down. Hope you continue to have a good week.

  37. Kim, have been on the run, but kept up with you on the phone.it is a bit tedious to try to post from there though...about had a heart attack when you started in on Todd's toad adventure! So glad he's ok.
    Also glad that things have slowed a bit for you and you could "breathe" for a moment..
    Thinking of Sam and hoping for the very best...
    Hope the week continues on in a good way for you!

  38. Kim,
    It's understandable that you'd have a let down from the food drive after working on it for soooo long. You have invested so much time and energy, you'll now need to find your new normal-whatever that is...glad to hear Sam is feeling better as well. I am sending positive hopes your way for healing for Sam!

  39. Oh, you probably don't want to know what those butterflies are doing. The ones in our yard love dog poop. Disgusting habit for such pretty little creatures.

  44. Glad you're feeling better. You've got some really great shots there. We'd love to use the one of all of them on the porch & the last one as Pictures of the Day on Pet Blogs United sometime. (2 different days).

    If we can you you send the attached in an email to pbu at comcast dot net. If not no worries :)

  45. Kim, thanks for letting us know about Wilf. We're very sad even though we were expecting it. We've sent a message to Angus and 'the font'. Still awaiting the new modem...it will probably arrive on Friday when I won't be able to get anyone to help connect it! Major frustration here.

  46. I am just catching up with all the going's on around your place. You need a break and sound like you are ready for a break.

    The weather has been really hot up our end, so Molly has been all out of sorts, never mind.

    Take it easy,
