Happy last Monday in August which means we’re one day closer to autumn dropping…in a mere 22 days away. Woohoo!Ā Another reason for us to celebrate is that we received a small shower yesterday. While it wasn’t much, it still was something and we’ll take it.Ā And because it’s still Monday, while we’re celebrating the countdown and a tiny bit of moisture, we still need to start out the week with a smile. We hope you have a terrific Monday that carries over throughout the week. September…here we come!
Happy Monday! Do you ever feel like you’ve completely lost it? Things didn’t go quite as you planned? I think this chuckle fairly accurately describes it.
But all is not lost, Despite a bit of a minor hiccup this morning (a lost sock that somehow managed to wander away from its mate after a few minutes of searching for it but it eventually turned up), I’ve decided to consciously adopt a ‘bloomscrolling’ attitude for the day. Who knows, maybe one of those MIA Tupperware lids will show up. Hope springs eternal. Have a great Monday. Happy bloomscrolling today.
Happy Monday, Glitter Gremlins…hope you enjoyed a great weekend. For the record, it’s not spiders that bother me as much as that one nasty, buzzing all around your head mosquito while you’re trying to sleep. You know, the one you can’t seem to swat away and it’s too hot to pull the sheet over your ears so you don’t hear him but hey, I get it. This is what happens when you leave spiders alone…they likely will get that mosquito for you and you could be able to enjoy a nice rejuvenating sleep while they slink back into the dark places in the back of the closet. Just saying.
Here’s wishing you a peaceful night of sleep without any flying or crawling critters this week. Happy Monday!
Rise and shine, campers. Welcome back to Monday. We hope you had a nice weekend. Wilson is patiently waiting for the day to begin. Be sure to have your volume turned on. He’s now ‘talking’ to his breakfast until he receives the all clear release. It always cracks me up to watch his little tail wiggling in anticipation and now he’s beginning to softly ‘talk’ to his bowl more frequently. This dog is hilarious.
It’s harvest time in Colorado and the Palisade peaches are arriving in grocery stores, farmer’s markets and fruit stands along roadways. It’s the best time of the year. Those juicy delicious fruit has me drooling just thinking about them. Which leads me to share another smile from our friend, Vince, the Sign Guy. Have a fantastic Monday and week!
Happy Monday, troops. Hope you had a lovely weekend. Hard to believe we’ve reached the last week in July. For us we’re just hanging on and ticking off the days until autumn arrives…which for those keeping track of these kinds of monumental happenings, is scheduled to land in 57 days. I know there are a lot of you groaning that summer will be leaving to soon but for some of us, it can’t happen soon enough. Between smoke and evacuations from wildfires to temperatures in the stratosphere, we’re looking forward to a change. But don’t start to worry yet, that’s not happening today and you still have time to ‘enjoy’ what’s left of the season. So let’s start this week with a smile, shall we?
We hope your coffee takes pity on you and you enjoy a miracle or two with lots of smiles this week. Happy Monday.
Welcome to Monday…and a big Monday it is. Eight years ago this fluffy boy entered the world to create good old fashioned chaos and cuddles. Happy Barkday, House Pony! How about a photo to comemerate the occasion?
Ok, let’s try this again, knucklehead. Let’s shoot for more of a “All right, Mr. DeMille, I’m ready for my closeup” kind of photo, okay?
Ahhh, that’s better. Hope you have a fantastic day, sweet boy.
Even though it’s Wilson’s birthday, we still need to start the week out with a smile. We hope your Monday is totally wonderful.
We’re hunkering down for the next few days while triple digits visit us. We only hope our few potted plants survive. Gardening this time of year has it’s unique pitfalls. Here’s Vince, the sign guy’s take.
We hope everyone stays safe and hydrated. Keep smiling…autumn is a mere 71 days away.
We hope you survived the Fourth of July weekend. It was surprisingly quiet in our neighborhood for which we were grateful. I’m sure the high temps and wildfire smoke may have had something to do with it, although I know in various parts of the metro area, some stupid people were setting them off in crowded, dense neighborhoods. Obviously the heat melted any sense they may have had.
Anyway, we found a few smiles that indicate how hot it’s been. The forecast is calling for triple digits by the weekend and temps are expected to linger around the OMG level of hot for three or four consecutive days. Oh joy, I can hardly wait. On the plus side, autumn is scheduled to arrive in 78 days.
Stay cool, hydrated and keep smiling. Have a great Monday.
Here we are-it’s the last Monday of June which means we’re heading toward the back side of 2026. Where has the time gone this year? Our weekend was jammed with activities. First there was the Dog Fair on Saturday that was great fun for both the two and four legged. On Sunday Wilson and I hosted a birthday BBQ for the family which meant that the great granddaughter cutie pie helped blow out candles (repeatedly) for her Daddy and Grandpa who both had recent birthdays.
The woman with the pink hair below was with the event organizers, the rest of the group were some of the volunteers who helped man the both. Sweet Hadley is always a super chill and model pup.
We had loads of visitors stop by to meet the sheepdogs and generally chat with our rescue volunteers.
Young and old enjoy meeting our volunteer sheepdogs (I think this sweet boy was Ralph)A fellow sheepdog owner and her family dropped byEven non-sheepdogs swung by
Another dog rescue group located next to ours had a very cool photo booth and took photos of some of the volunteers and their dogs.
It was a swell event on a very hot day (officially it was 97F/36.1C) with lots of visitors and dogs eager to get out of the heat.
And because it’s a Monday, we still want to share a smile. When I say there was lots of sniffing among the dogs who attended the fair, they might have benefitted with name tags like today’s smile to make the meet and greet a bit easier.
We hope everyone you meet today has a smile on their face. Have a wonderful Monday and try to stay as cool as you can.
Hope all the Dads out there had a great day yesterday, which coincided with the arrival of summer. Got to spend a day with my Dad in triple digit heat but the joy it brought to him was well worth it.
Unlike many of you, summer is my least favorite season. I don’t do heat and it’s been hot here. How hot you ask?
Maybe I wouldn’t mind it as much if there haven’t been so many power outages. In the past eleven days, we’ve experienced six outages (two yesterday, in fact). Grrr. It’s been so hot, I’ve been thinking of making some special flip flops.
We hope you’re staying cool, or at the very least, comfortable with plenty of electricity. May your Monday be great and that your power stays constant during the hottest days this week. Enjoy the first full day of summer.
