It’s Quiet Here Today

Filed Under: Uncategorized

We’re just chillin’ today. I had a dear friend over for lunch and it was wonderful to see her again and get caught up on the latest and greatest. After that, the boys and I went over to my parents house for a quick visit. They got new granite countertops and wanted me to see them. They looked nice and made me wish we had some! LOL

Iain was a sport today and let me take some pictures of him. I’m trying to learn how to process them in Photoshop without using actions (a macro type option that can tweak your image for you) because I want to know how to do it and not rely on someone else’s work. I didn’t change much about the picture besides brightening it up a bit and sharpening it somewhat and I really like these two photos.

I also took a picture of some of the flowers currently popping up in the yard:

These look like daffodils but I think they’re called something else. Anyone?

Our plans this weekend include putting Ryan’s new bed together, painting Iain’s room, and just enjoying some quality time together with Sean. I’m really looking forward to it! Anyone have any exciting plans for this weekend?

    I tried commenting here yesterday, but the silly thing closed me out.

    Anyhow…jonquils – one of my favourite spring flowers & smell divine!

    Also – your boy’s eyes look amazing!

    Cate, I can’t stand how much trouble Blogger has with comments sometimes!

    Thank you for solving my Flower name dilemma! I had no idea that’s what a Jonquil looks like.

    Aren’t Iain’s eyes just gorgeous? They both have these amazing blue eyes.

    Hope you’re well!

Bowie has had a tough year and a half. He was misd Bowie has had a tough year and a half. He was misdiagnosed by the first vet we used here and that led to a situation where the treatment almost seemed worse than the disease. Thankfully, @lawndale_vet helped us navigate that situation and they have nursed this big boy back to a much happier place. We still are uncertain about how much time we have left with him but, for now, he is the happiest we have seen him in a long time. I am so thankful to the staff at Lawndale for, not only providing great medical care, but for loving on him and making him feel like the best boy ever at each appointment. ❤️❤️❤️

This is the face of a very sad boy. Bowie has been This is the face of a very sad boy. Bowie has been suffering with licking granulomas since last March. We got the first one healed and then he got one on his other paw. Then that one got better but his paw pads got rubbed raw by the protective boot he was in and now are infected. Fingers crossed that this cone helps keep him from licking it so he can heal. Until then, Bowie is going to be a very sad boy, indeed. 😢

This cute little cup came in a pack from @christma This cute little cup came in a pack from @christmastreeshops and it’s bringing all the fall vibes today! Yes, it’s still almost 80° here in NC but I’m getting impatient for cooler temps. Trying to will the cool air in! And how cute is that plate behind my cup? My sweet friend @tlventura made it for me and it’s one of two fall decorations I kept when we moved. Hope you’re having an awesome day wherever you are, friends!! ❤️❤️❤️
