Gentle Days..

Good morning!
Beautiful morning here in the Bay...
blue-sky, sun, and happy little birds singing..
A day for relaxing in the beauty of it all..
Soaking up the Son \0/

Maybe a drive in the country and maybe a few shots along the way....

My home is quiet for the moment..
Momma and her pups are sleeping..
my hubby and son are sleeping, and Im up enjoying "the quiet" with a cup of hazelnut coffee from my keurig..
Lovely Saturday so far....

Craving ice-cream and its not even summer yet!

Dairy Queen has a special on right now...and of course, as soon as I got wind of it...
well you know...dessert was a cookie-dough blizzard!
On my birthday the other day my son bought  DQ cake too..
and Im not even a really big fan of ice-cream..but you'd never know it by this weeks treats....

Looking forward to having this weekend off!
Sleep in a bit in the morning and then just enjoy!!
Hope you enjoy your weekend too!!!

~Fireside chat~

Good afternoon!!
I must have been so tired this morning when I posted before work that I said it was afternoon tea today, but actually its "fireside chat"    lol

Work was so busy today..although the benefits are.. that the day went by quickly.:)
You'd almost have thought that it was a long weekend...
Anyway, Im home and its time to let it go and embrace sweet life at home...

The sky is blue and bright and the sounds of puppies are plentiful in our house..
Theres a nice breeze and Im thinking about a new clothesline that I want to put up in our newly-fenced yard.
I can think of reasons why it would be economical to get one...and Id be right..
but I just want one because I like hanging clothes on the line and seeing the wind go through them, and smelling the freshness after they've been blowing in the wind all day :)
Im reminded of when I was a little girl and Id play house and we'd use mommas clothes-pegs to hang our dolls clothes on the top of the  fence in the backyard....
What fun was that!!  And all the other adventures of childhood...

And then theres the thought of gardening...Im excited about that, although with 3 dogs and a newly fenced in yard..I may have to settle for hanging planters...
Lets just say that last year they made their mark in my little secret garden in the back :(
So hanging planters it'll be, and patio pots!
Its still flowers.. no matter what way you look at it! And I love looking at flowers...

Any of you girls have dogs and still manage to have "intact" gardens?
Our dogs are 2 years, 1 1/2 years, and 1 year and they are scottish terriers and west highland terrier.

Well I guess its time to start dinner...one more work day this week and I actually get a weekend off!
Thats something to celebrate :)
Wishing everyone a pleasant evening...

Fondly,
Deborah xo

Until this afternoon...:)

Off to work I go..but afternoon tea with my blogging girls later!
