Porch Season

It's been one heckuva week, hasn't it, Smooch? 


We deserve a little rest and relaxation, don't you think?


Now if I could only teach you how to relax...
You don't have to stand guard every minute of every day, you know.


Snapper and I are willing to take our turns.
See us back there?


No, you're too busy watching the swallows to appreciate this view to the west...


and this view to the north.

  5. Obviously, Smooch takes her job very seriously. There is no time for fun when you have the weight of the world on your shoulders. Beautiful skies.

  8. Wow! So beautiful! I was just thinking yesterday (while I was supposed to be working) how much I love porch weather. POrches are a great place to relax (Try it, Smooch, you'll like it.) Even sweeping a porch relaxes me.

  10. I didn't think it could get any better than those shots of Smooch -- dog fan that I am -- but that last photo of the north sky is a prize for sure. Wow.

  14. Those gorgeous skies almost, but not quite, make up for the rattlesnakes and scorpions. I'm glad Smooch is on the lookout for danger.

  18. Stunning photos one and all. My favorite, though, is the first one of Smooch. The colors, the composition, the Smooch-y-ness... Bravo!

  19. Poor Smooch is wiped out from the whole well incident. A guy just needs his rest. The sky photos are just amazing!

  20. Smooch says "It's only work if you don't enjoy it."

  21. That is the way my Wally is ... always in 'alert mode'.

  22. We have some swallows back too! But, no bugs...hmmm, I think that's backwards. Still low 30s at night, pouring out, over 27 inches of rain so far in 2011.
