Feelin' Groovy


I'm wondering how many of you remember an old Simon and Garfunkle tune,  "Slow down, you move too fast?"  The lyrics of the song remind us, "You've got to make the morning last, just kickin' down the cobblestones. Lookin' for fun and feelin' groovy."

Today we didn't have to look for any fun, it found us all by itself.  This morning a couple of friends unexpectedly stopped by and we enjoyed an impromptu breakfast of my homemade biscuits, gravy and eggs.  After they left, we were feelin' really groovy rejuvenated from their visit and spent time outside in the unseasonable warm temps and sunshine.

But I was reminded that it's never a good thing when you see three dogs standing together smelling the ground and taking turns rolling on something.
 That turned their fun into impromptu baths for CarrieAnne and Sheba.  
~Sheba~
Josh who was part of the crime didn't need one.  He doesn't really like baths, so I'm pretty sure he was 'feelin' groovy' about that!  .  
Afterwards we took all of the dogs for a walk and came in and relaxed. 
~Annie~
Whatever you are doing this weekend, whatever your weather, 
I hope you're 'feelin' groovy' too.

  1. I bet they were also smellin' funky as well as feeling groovy. Hope the groovy weekend continues minus the funky.

    i think i'd rather have the odor of skunk wafting through the house (which i do!) than something dead smell. :)

  3. I've got no deeds to do, no promises to keep
    I'm dappled and drowsy and ready to sleep
    Let the morning time drop all its petals on me

    Life I love you, all is GRoovy -

    How's that?

  4. I am mad for the cute little pics of that rowdy boy Todd, the upside down one and the flirty looking one on top.

  6. Just the title (before reading your words) reminded me of that song. My father still quotes those lyrics! I'm glad you and your dogs are having a groovy weekend (even if it did involve extra bath time).

  13. When I was growing up, my mom was a HUGE fan of Simon and Garfunkel, so I know the words to every one of their songs. Love them!

    Your dogs are totally adorable, and it is obvious that they love their playtime.

    Happy Sunday!

  21. I love the Todd pictures, what a charmer he is. And the rest of the gang are all so sweet. I have been feeling groovy for the past few days because the weather turned and winter arrived with a little snow yesterday and 12 degrees this morning before sunrise.

  24. Howdy mates, nothing better than rolling in something stinky to start off the weekend well hehe. Sorry about the baths though! Mum knows that song too and hasn't thought about the word 'groovy' for soooo long. Thanks for the memories. No worries, and love, Stella and Rory

  31. One of my most favorite groups, and a great song. Cheery upbeat, and happy...

    I hope that you are OK after falling, can't believe that someone would be so callous as to not inquire if you needed help.

  32. Hi there, I so remember how my Sadie loved to roll in poop and other disgusting things, which then required a bath. Hunter hasn't discovered this yet-for that I'm thankful. He does love the snow and just wants to eat it all.
    Have a great evening my friend.
    Hugs, Noreen & Hunter

  38. That is very funny! Love your sense of humor. I must admit, however, I cringed when I saw the rolling. Usually it doesn't end well.....typically pretty stinky. :) Happy Monday!

    ReplyDelete
  39. Haha! That first picture of Todd is so cute! I've seen that look in Gracie's face before. It usually means 'I'm ready to play, how about you?' I also liked the last one of him... it looks like he's right in the middle of playing and he's laughing cause he's getting the best of you. And of course, I always love seeing the Golden's! I haven't seen Charlie in a while. How's Charlie?

    I hope you enjoyed this beautiful day Kim. I think it will start to get colder now...
