Sunshine, Warmth and Peace

I am sitting in a lawn swing in the sun and am warm and content.

I also have a dog.

The dog is napping in the shade under the swing, which explains the "peace and contentment" parts. He will, periodically, jump up in the swing to get pet and to get his belly rubbed. That's Ok with me, I can read and pet him at the same time. I am a highly competent person. I have never tripped while walking and chewing gum!

I am reading a good book and getting some vitamin D. All good stuff.

My dog has started digging a hole in the precise spot the telephone cable is buried but it is buried deep so... still peaceful. Plan on burying a large section of wire mesh fencing about 6 inches underground over all the utility lines. That should help.

Yesterday I did a great job extending the gutter downspout drain pipe across the yard and out over a hill so the back yard dog run will not turn into a lake. Good work!
My dog is in the process of digging the huge pipe back up but he has only uncovered a small section so... still peaceful. Planning on getting a couple bags of concrete though.

It's truly amazing what a warm sun and a nice yard swing with a great view can do for you. Even my dog is mellow today.

Where was all this mellowness a day or so ago, when I found my dog covered with "used and soupy kitty litter"? Maybe I should contemplate that mystery... with my eyes closed. It helps the contemplation!

I'm not a sun worshiper but maybe a stone Ankh or something Ra-ish as a yard decoration would not be out of keeping with my mellow mood.

When I took my dog for a walk today, even he was (relatively) mellow. A warm sunny day in the spring can do wonders for the soul.

Holes in the yard? pshaw! (my grandmother used to say that -- Good word! For her it meant "that's not right but... it's not a big thing.) I can always fill the holes back in.

It is truly amazing how little it actually takes to make us feel good or feel down. Also, how when you are feeling one, you have trouble imagining feeling the other!

I may have to take up the "Zen" life, that or get a nice sun lamp!

The sun is warm and it is a good day.

And...

I have a dog. What more do I need?
