Sprinklers Are Going

The weather has been warm.
A bit foggy in the mornings.
Sunny in the afternoons.
Quite warm for us.
I'd rather have it be in the 70's
instead it's 90 in the shade.
Really not typical for us.
(I live in the Pacific Northwest)

Cats are loving the beach life.
This house stays cooler.
They get to go out on the deck
when it's not too hot.

Dogs are having fun.
Jodie plays.
Maddy watches.

Me, I'm taking it easy.
Enjoying these warm days.
I know all too well
that the rainy ones
will return.

You can imagine me
with a good book
and a cool drink.
Just taking in 
the sights and sounds.

Every once in a while
I get up and dance.
Music playing
like I was young again.

Fall In The Northwest

It's rainy
It's wet
It's yucky out
It's Fall in the Northwest

Meredith Ann and I are at the beach place
She loves it here
Lots of room to run and nap
Two of her favorite things
Really, she does like to run around the halls
Especially likes to sing in the bathroom
I think it's the echo effect
and that she likes to hear her own voice

Maddy Jean likes it here too
Running around the yard
Barking at the Seagulls

Jasmine decided to come with
Which means, I got her before she hid under the bed
She's been singing too

I'm going to spend a quiet weekend
Drinking tea
And, reading my book.
I leave one here just for that.

Saw one new dog on petfinder
that might fit in with our crazy home
It's out here by the beach area
I might call them

And, that is my update on this
very wet Friday

~ JC & Meredith Ann ~
There comes a time in your life when you walk away from all of the drama and the people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh. Forget the bad and focus on the good. Love the people who treat you right and pray for those who don’t. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is part of life, getting back up is living.
