Happy Father's Day!

Happy Sunday everyone! I start this blog by wishing all the dads a Happy Father's Day. This wish extends to all the pet dads who are so special. Merlot and Sherlock are the luckiest pups to have Russell as their human daddy 💕 The fathers who are no longer with us also have a special place in our hearts, today and always. We miss ours every day.

This past week was good. Both of us are over our roman colds. On Tuesday, I saw my massage therapist who took care of my stiff neck. We resumed our walks with the boys and ran into Errol twice. Life is back to normal.

Russell cut the grass for the third time since we've been back. It is lush and very green. Our Daylilies are also getting very big. Our peonies are at their best this year, thanks to more sun since we cut down the apple trees.

We met with Bronson, our landscaper, on Thursday. We went over the plans and chose our stones. All things being equal, the work could start week of June 22. The crew will take care of moving our barbecues and anything else that needs to be moved. So far, we are very impressed with how buttoned down Bronson is. The next few weeks will be busy and exciting.

Our boys are doing well. Sherlock has resumed his morning walkabouts around the kitchen island, with the bull in his mouth. We get dizzy just watching him LOL! Merlot watches him and wonders when he will stop. Although both are still crazy puppies, we are noticing some signs of maturity. It has been fascinating to watch them grow since we've had them. We're coming up to one year in a few weeks 💕 We love them to pieces!

We've been having a stretch of nice weather, although our mornings have been a little cool. We are enjoying that new couch on the deck. It is the most comfortable outdoor piece of furniture we've ever had. Perfect for napping 😊

Today will be a quiet and relaxing day. I will make spaghetti al limone for dinner. I also bought two small lemon tarts for a Father's Day treat. There is a lemon theme going on here 🍋

I leave you with some pics taken last week. Have a great week everyone!

Day to all the fathers!

Sherlock and Merlot make multiple
trips up and down the deck stairs
to explore their yard.

The Big Green Egg smoker
sure had the boys attention last night-
those ribs smell good!

both grab a nap on the super comfy
couch.

Merlot loves to chill in the shade on the 
cool grass.
