I May Have Jumped The Gun

Ok, so I was a bit premature with the "Dog Days" post yesterday.

Wednesday was beastly hot.

And then along came yesterday...another storybook cloud kind of day

with temps in the 70's.

But, still, I wasn't wrong...because, let's face it...

every day is a dog day around here!

(Oh, Sammy....that face...how can anyone believe me when I 

talk about what a rascal you are!)

I know....right?

Sammy and I cleaned the front pasture yesterday morning.

It was gloriously cool and breezy... a perfect day for working outside.

Sammy kept a close eye on the horses, while I scooped poop.

And then, while Sam was off investigating, Ollie did a little investigative work himself.

Hmmmm....guess what I keep in my glove box?

Gloves!

Eventually, Ollie moved on.

I cleaned up the gloves.

Sam returned to ride shotgun.

And, we headed up to weed 100 blueberry bushes.

Actually, I weeded...

and true to form, Sammy slept.

It's a dog's life, I tell you.

And before we part company for the weekend,

I have to share my new found obsession.

Watermelon Salad

(courtesy of Oprah Winfrey...like a couple of years ago...

what rock have I been under????)

Oh, my goodness....this is so tasty, so fresh, so yuuummmmmy...

not to mention, so easy.

One small seedless watermelon, cubed

one red onion, chopped

kalamata olives, sliced

a handful of fresh parsley, chopped

a handful of fresh mint, chopped

8 oz. feta cheese, crumbled

Mix the above and squeeze the juice of two limes over top.

I know...it sounds like a weird combo...but to me it is pure Heaven!!!

Have a great weekend....

I will be stuffing myself with the above salad until it's gone.

Oh, and before you go...

you're the BEST!

Thanks for stopping!
