Sounds of Spring

Happy Sunday everyone! I hope you're all having a nice and relaxing day. We're enjoying a Spring like  day....partly sunny and warmish. We had a freezing rain warning this morning but didn't get much of anything. Our windows are open wider than usual and as a result, we can hear the delightful courting songs of the cardinals. We have two or three pairs of those beauties that reside somewhere in our backyard and they start the courtship song at around 4 am....kind of early but hey, the early birds get the worm. On that note, Russell and I have also been waking up earlier than usual lately, around 6 am. Not sure what that's about but we're just wide awake. It goes without saying that Cooper and Spicy are just as happy to get up early and get on with their busy day!

This past week was good and rather lazy. Our weather didn't cooperate too much so we didn't get our daily walk in. It was either too cold or snowy. We don't handle cold that well these days so we just stayed home and cocooned. That doesn't mean that we didn't do our workouts or stretches, got those done three times. Not bad for a lazy week 😂

I took advantage of one slow day to sort out our tax receipts. I will be dropping those off at our accountant's office in a week or so. I also washed some big bedding items including some doggie blankets. At any given time, we have about a dozen blankets out everywhere. What can I say, Coop & Spicy like their comfort 😊

Not much else is new with us. Like everyone else, we are following the world news. Very upsetting to say the least. Our hearts go out to all those affected. 

I leave you with a potpourri of photos taken throughout the week.  Last Tuesday, we enjoyed a beautiful, but brief, early morning colourful sky. During our walk yesterday, we noticed the buds on the maple trees. Such a pretty sight at this time of year. 

That's my blog for today. I wish you all a great week and good luck to our Canadian athletes at the Paralympic Games!

We call it the 'sniffables' ... Spicy and Cooper
inspect and sniff every grocery bag hoping for
something good.

This maple at Edgewater Park has started to show
buds...a sign of longer, warmer, brighter days.

Lounging on a favorite chair or
catching a few rays of sun...it is a 
dog's life.

The BFF dinner bells, these two begin their stare
down at around 4 - 4:30PM. Come on Mommy,
get our dinner ready, it's almost 5!

Sunrises are special at this time of 
the year.
