Happy Monday

Good morning; I hope you had a fabulous weekend! I didn't make a killing at the garage sales but had fun looking; I'm just becoming more aware of not needing as much "fluff" and kept asking myself if I really needed things. I did get a couple of pieces of clothing, a computer monitor so hubby can look upright and not constantly bend his neck-since it makes his chronic neck problems worse, some antique wooden spools and a white cabinet with clock for my sewing room-I'll have to get a photo of that to post. We had a warm weekend but not nearly as hot as predicted; some thunder and a sprinkling of rain but nothing to major. Hunter doesn't seem bothered by the thunder and I'm thankful because he will be the first dog we've owned that hasn't been terrified of it; it may be because he wasn't a rescue and living on the streets. Whatever the reason, I am so glad although I will admit he was terrified on Memorial Day when the F-18's did their annual "fly-over".

It is hard to see, but last night I saw a baby bird in the trees-a Robin and tried to get a photo.  It is in the middle of the photo almost at the top, I hope you can see it. 

Our Hunter is six mos old; he has grown a lot in the last month.  Yesterday we took him over to our girls home and he got to see Petrol again and they found they really like each other and can play together.  The last visit, Petrol was much bigger but now Hunter is bigger than she is; for a miniature Schnauzer, I think she is really small-weighing in at about 7 lbs while Hunter is already at 9 lbs. 

He looks happy here because he doesn't know that tomorrow he goes in to get snipped.  Can we say ouch? 
I am going to take him on a walk in a few minutes, while it is still cool, and then I'll head to the gym and use the bike.  Some friends told us we can get a basket that has a harness in it for dogs, so that we can take him on bike rides; I would have thought this was silly in the past but we love to go on long rides and he simply wouldn't be able to go otherwise, so I'm going to check it out. 
I hope you have a wonderful day today.  I do need to start designing the baby quilt and I'm also meeting a friend at the bible bookstore to look for a study for us gals for the summer. Remember to stop and smell the flowers today.
Hugs, Noreen & Hunter
