Saturday was the nicest day we've had in ages.
Cool and breezy.
After morning chores and doing the recycling, Piper and I went for a walk by the pond.
It was overcast, but very pleasant.
And after a while, the sun appeared!
The air was crystal clear. So much to see and admire.
I had carried my sketching chair into the woods, hoping to paint outdoors for a change if the mosquitoes weren't too bad.
And they weren't! The really vicious late-summer mosquitoes are still here, but they weren't out in huge numbers. So I chose a nice spot to set up my chair and sketch for a while at the edge of the wetland.
But every time I reached for my sketchbook, this happened:
No sketching allowed!
Fair enough, Piper.
It was such a perfect afternoon.
The very faintest beginning of Autumn in the air.
We had a great time, and I let Piper decide when it was time to head home.

That was Saturday.
This was Sunday:
I think Piper's weekend was a success!
I hope yours was, too :)

It certainly looks like a success.
ReplyDeleteMy weekend flew by too quickly, and I want another day today. But I have some canned tomato sauce and a finished quilt, so I'm going to have to say it was a win. :-)
Yours was certainly more productive than mine! But I'm glad we got out when we did, as there's been lots more RAIN.
DeleteLooks like a perfect weekend to me. Obviously there was one happy dog too.
ReplyDeleteYes, Piper doesn't want to leave her couch these days EXCEPT when she knows we're going for a walk by the pond!
DeleteIt really does sound like a perfect weekend! That first photo looks almost surreal - it's so calm, peaceful, and pretty. I'm glad that Piper got her quote of pats!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe first snap surprised me, too - and it's straight out of the camera, no adjustments whatsoever. It does capture the magical feeling of that spot pretty well :)
DeleteAww - I love Piper pictures! Such a beautiful pond - sounds like a glorious day.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to get a good picture of a dog who doesn't like the camera, but I keep trying ;)
DeletePiper looks so happy! But I think the nicer weather has us all feeling happy. :)
ReplyDeleteI agree. It's pouring again today, and I feel like someone turned down my energy dial.
DeleteSunday and Monday I was rarin' to go and today I am like Piper in the last photo. She makes me smile! Looks like it was gorgeous weather to enjoy the outdoors. Happy October!
ReplyDeleteOctober already! I hope things are cooling off in your neck of the woods :)
