Wordless Wednesday - My Sunshine

Note: I will be back to my Monday Mischief posts next week with Freddie's options and our plans for Freddie Spaghetti.

                                                      


Sunshiny Day!

What a terrific day yesterday was!  Lots of sunshine and 21C (70F).  The day started out with the hounds in kind of a drab lazy mood. Yes even Fred!

"What? What's the big deal?"  "So it's sunny out." "Whoopee ding dong day!"  "Can ya eat it? No."  "Can ya catch it on your tongue? No."

Fred has such a negative attitude!  He must get that from his father. hee!hee!  So I tried to get him and Gloria motivated and took them on our short walk.  This normally takes 20 minutes.  Yesterday it took 45 minutes! Ugh!  When we got home though Gloria was all giddy and ready to play.

Fred wasn't.  Then when Fred finally was.

Gloria wasn't.

Then they both just wanted to lay in the sun. (I can't really blame them.)

I took there outdoor beds to the driveway where it felt even warmer.  Gloria loved this...Fred just wanted to eat crud.

Then I dusted off the old Weber to barbecue burgers.

"Hello baby, it's been a long weird winter!"
Freddie waited patiently for burgers.

"Come on woman!" "Where's those burgers?" "How long does it take?"
(I know, I know.  I've just learned to live with his crap.)

Ahhh! "See Fred you can catch the sun on your tongue!"

Snow!!

We finally got some snow! It might not be a lot but it's a start.  Freddie seems absolutely amazed by it. First he thought he had to eat all the white stuff that was covering HIS grass. Then he decided that unless he had a lot of help, he could never finish this job himself. So he said SCREW IT, and went off to play with Gloria. They had a hoot!

They ran and played.

And played and ran.

And bounced.  Yes bassets do bounce!

Then........

"Momma, my feet hurt."
So, inside we went.

Fred got his towel from the 12th Man Room to dry himself off.

Then Mr. Sunshine went and laid in the sunshine and I was able to wrap some more gifts and make some jalepeno jelly for Christmas entertaining!
