Heil…Mommy?

She looks so funny when her leg locks like this. Heil? Are we dictators to her? “NO! Get out of the cat litter!” “NO! Quit barking!” Hmmm, maybe. Posted via Pixelpipe.

Golden light at night

Patio bliss! Finally, a gorgeous night, not too chilly, no rain. Finally! Well, it did rain a little, but not until the next day. Posted via Pixelpipe.

Good day sunshine

Emma catches those last few early evening rays before sunset. I love how her lip is flopping down; it makes it look like she has a broad muzzle. Posted via Pixelpipe.

She misses nothing

I’m just hanging out on the front porch with the pups, listening to a David Sedaris audiobook on my iPod. I planted the flat of portulaca and called it a night. Posted via Pixelpipe.

Another little friend

As I planted portulaca in the bed by our front steps, a little toad hopped by. Love these little guys! Posted via Pixelpipe.

with her head on daddy’s pillow

This is a typical scene in the morning. Once he’s let them out and fed them their breakfast, the dogs come back to bed with me. Posted via Pixelpipe.

My oasis

Waterfall, dappled willow, goldfish, stones, windchime harmonies, hosta, crane. Bliss. Posted via Pixelpipe.
