Good Morning and Welcome to Tuesday the 6th day of June, 2017.
Here we are one day closer to the official first day of summer.
This morning the sun is shining brightly in the beautiful blue sky.
The birds are singing and Alvin enjoyed a few minutes on the deck just taking it all in.
Oh my boy.
Likes to soak in the moment.
I must say that one of my most favourite times each day is the time that we snuggle on the sofa before getting up to stay up.
I have this rectangular pillow from IKEA that is just long enough for my head, Alvin’s head and a bit of space.
When I lay down on the pillow and throw a blanket over me ….. once Mr. Alvin has done his thing ……
He plunks himself down and his head hits right on the pillow beside me.
He really does with some force plunk himself down.
He snuggles right in and it is the best start to my day …..
We have a bit of a snooze before getting up to start the day.
Most every day for the past couple of weeks we have been walking with our friends “S” and “P.”
S is my neighbour whose dog was attacked and killed by an off leash dog in an on leash park.
So we have been walking with S and her dog Presley.
I get such a kick out of Presley ….. he came running down the sidewalk to meet us last night and when he arrived …..
He sniffed, growled, nipped at Alvin, and then went in another direction.
Both the dogs are comfortable around each.
If Presley nips Alvin ….. Alvin just walks away.
I wished that I always had his patience and grace.
Now if food was involved ….. that may go out the window.
But I am proud of Alvin for taking higher ground to give the little guy some space and time to grieve the loss of his beloved friend.
While we enjoyed a great walk last night …. our friend “P” was out in her amazing garden.
She called us over and we walked away with snapdragons for both of us girls and I got a tomato plant.
We are so lucky.
All of the plants that my friend “P” has given me are doing great…… best gardener.
Okay time to hit the road.
Mr. Alvin needs to head outside one last time.
Happy Tuesday.
Enjoy the sunshine.
Be safe.
Spread kindness ….. it is the only way.
Special Hello to: my friend “V” who has yet another business ….. so busy ….. not sure how she does it.
Always, Carol & Alvin
