Looking Forward to July!

What a fabulous 4th of July week ... sunny with a wonderful breeze ... checking off some home yard projects, going to the girls Agility practice, getting a SunKissed "puppy fix" and visiting with our lil' Camper Gwen (formally Emily) and finally pool-time at the home of the girl's birth 😎

Greeting July by looking back at Emma enjoying the
July daisies 💖

Pool Time at home of girl's birth 🌞

Life is Good ...lounging by the pool ... Mya, Willow, Emma

Pond Watching ... bench was a 60th birthday family gift
and had to be moved to higher ground when pond water
level rose!

WHAT 😲... it's 8:30am and these three are still asleep on the
porch ... guess it was a GREAT pool day yesterday!!!

Happy 4th of July ... it's gonna be a HOT one ... the
"Summer Kitchen" is out and the girls are focusing on
SWIMMING!!!

"How Our Garden's Grown"
(we're watching the tiny summer squash)

Pond water level is slowly going down - Dock is still knee deep!
(waiting to see red dock, but meanwhile need to reseed shore line)

We had some Special visitors 💓
(Jim, Peg & Eden Doyle - Willow, Beckett, Mya & Emma)

We met some Agility classmates for lunch at the Marina
in Brattleboro Vermont ... and there were leftovers 😋

Just trying to relax on a HOT day!!!

Weekend visitors and the girls loved it 😎

"Now listen guys, we gotta get the garden boxes/containers ready
for the tomatoes, cukes & squash plants that we got yesterday!"

Gorgeous day for Scent Tracking in fields of Bernardston Ma
Mya pulling me along in the tall grass and she was
100% spot -on successful!

Emma's field of grass wasn't so tall & thick ...
she also was 100% successful!

The after Tracking Reward ... Ice Cream for everyone 😎

Cutting up trees dropped by Beaver at the Dam/Spillway!
