Day 604

Ah - just a bit of spring and color. haha We have been rainy the last couple of days and Barney does not like to get his feet wet. However, he is a little trooper and takes his business outside just about every 3 hours around the clock. I am sure once he gets to feeling a bit more secure and know that he's not left alone, he will settle down and extend the times between a little longer at night.

I am still waiting for that little demon dog to show up...he has been just as sweet as always. Of course, I watch him like a hawk when he's loose. While he might let me know when he has to go, he is not above running out of sight and doing his business, then acting innocent when it's over. He does like a good game of tug of war. If the rain lets up and we see a bit of light today, I will take Barney out for a photo shoot - we will see what there is out there. I don't look for that to happen though, the rain seems to be set in for at least today.

LOL - I don't like getting my feet wet either! (I think I was a cat in a previous life). I hope you get to do a photo shoot.

[this is good]

That is so pretty! I am starved for some color already!

me too, some different colors other than gray and white and brown.

Thanks for the perk me up gf, I needed flowers/color (but not spiders) today.

Good luck with the photo shoot, I can't get Choey still long enough to snap. I've taken quite a few blurs though!

I don't like getting my feet wet either. LOL I don't like to get wet at all unless it is a soaking shower. A little wet bothers me - totally drowned is okay. No photo shoot today. :-( Too much flooding.

Me too! One of the pleasures I get these days is going through my shots from past springs, summers and falls. At least there is color and sunshine. Makes everything brighter on these gray days.

I get so ready for color, sun, warmth. Fortunately, our rains haven't been real cold the past couple of days. Makes it easier to take the little monster out. If I do a photoshoot on my own, there is no way I can shoot Barney gf. He won't stand still. The only way I got the two shots of him that I did was to keep shooting and take the best of what I got. LOL If he was loose, he would be a car chaser - he watches them go by at the end of his leash.

I do so love your daily photo

Thank you FD. I just wanted some color and cheer today - and you just can't beat the variety of dahlias for that.

I am luck that I get to keep quit a bit of green here with our evergreen trees, but they easily fade into the grey sky some days.

We have a lot of the evergreens here - it's just that I noticed that when the skies are gray, everything is gray. It seems the grayness just zaps the color out of the evergreens and any flowers that might be blooming at the time. We've managed to stay dry, just never know which of the roads will be closed due to flooding, water damage or mud slides. Did you all get hit harder?
