Three Dog Night 

Joy To The World 1970

THE WORDS OF TRUST:

An elderly couple came into the office to see me before their C19 Shot. Loads of jokes were exchanged about their fear of the dreaded shot. Rusty needle, running start,etc. So the husband walks down to the bathroom and the wife somehow brings up in conversation about turning off lights. She says," Wish we had motion lights inside like we have on our driveway."   I Can Help With That 

They purchased all the motion sensor switches before I arrived and we agreed that I would install the laundry room one first. Pretty sure they were hesitant on me just walking into their house. So the laundry room it is. They assured me that "this side" off the house was dead because they flipped the fuses. WRONG!! Silly me!! While untwisting the first wire nut, Bite Me!!! Yes, they shut off the power to this side off the house but not the garage or laundry room. Its the result of trust. Learning The Hard Way

They were extremely apologetic and felt horrible. I felt like a royal A$$ for simply diving in, for not knowing better, and played it off as it was no biggie. But won't pull the stunt ever again. Until The Next Time 

DISC GOLF:

I so dig this hanging basket!! Give it a good ol swing and take a chance. Haven't thrown plastic in awhile and took the opportunity to play a quick 9 baskets between clients. The usual took place. Tee Off late, decent mid range approach shots, and righteous putts.

As you can see, everything is still dormant and so flipping arid. 

CYCLING:

Speaking of dry, been swimming a lot. I figured that the chlorine will most likely kill COVID so why not. Plus, I find peace underwater. 

Our weather warmed up rather quickly and its been effortless to motivate. Sure had plenty of excuses during mid month but finally riding again. And the bike brings out some very cool moments in time. Two ladies were walking and heard the bell on my bike ringing. They politely stepped aside and asked," Are You From Minnesota?" Kinda weird and I acknowledged them with a response and casually rode on by. 

This guy comes riding towards me and slows to a stop almost in front of me. I thought he was lost and about to ask for directions. He says," By Any Chance Did You See A Wallet On The Trail?" I said," You from Minnesota?" His eyes lit up and I told him in about three miles he will come across two ladies walking. Before I could finish my encounter with them he says,"Colorado is amazing. Thank You. You Made My Day." Made me proud to know that there are still good people walking the earth. Below, my homemade Thai Pie tasted just a bit better that night. Oh Baby 

DOGS:

Now, the main reason why you all return, house sitting and dog walking was the ideal way to wrap up a rough month.

Every morning before Mr Sun shined life upon the Grand Valley, the dogs and I were on the trail. It was really easy to wake at first light because the dogs happily scratched / licked until my eyes opened. And then it was game on. All Day 

So thats what we did. Full speed play time!! 

And who do you think would like to eat?? Who could possible have missed a meal?? 

And What Happens With A Full Belly?? Yup, Nap Time 

Are You Familiar With Meerkats?? Check Out Those Tails 

And In Case You Were Wondering, I Could Eat 

These two pups brought on a new perspective for me. It dawned on me that part of my problem has been that I used to work and then spend the rest of my waking time with The Boy Dog. 

Shadow Boy was my outlet. After work, The Boy Dog would use his one white toe nail and tap his opposite wrist, his way of telling me that its time to go. His Agenda Was Always Wide Open

Hiking around with these two offered up the opportunity to chat my thoughts out loud with out feeling judgment. Dogs Are Magical 

Its not just the desire to please but its also their demeanor of play. Why stress out when you can simple walk out the door and play play play. Put your favorite toy in your mouth and who cares about what went down at work hours ago. 

Thankfully, these two were so cuddly and didn't necessary demand attention but they never left my sight.  You know what I mean?? Dog sitting these two was a real dream. And it was so nice to walk into a house that is full of dog life. Any Pet Owner Understands 

So the above photo, I was fixing their humans commode, the one dog tried licking my ear, the other dog supervised my every move. Here I am on my knees, arms around the back of the bowl, two dogs crowding in on me and asking," Hey, what are we doing?? Our Human Backs In. What Are You Front Ways??"

All I could do was laugh. Not just LoL but actually laugh out loud. By day number three I completely threw in the towel on my calisthenics in the mornings after our hikes. If I even entertained the thought of stretching out on the floor, two wet noses in the ear hole. 

And I So Welcomed It. They Were A Joy. I was able to fix a number of small projects around their house, swept out the garage for them, filled back in a few holes the one dog dug, and transported a full truck bed of green waste to the compost facility. The Humans Were Stoked Upon Their Return

FULL MOON:

The new beginning, The new ending, The new adventure...

The above photo was the day before the full moon. The photo below was Mr Full Moon. My offering this month was a mason jar full of filtered water and lucky seven stones place around the jar. Energize

HERE is my time lapse of the bird feeder. Its only a minute long and was shot on an old GoPro3 Silver. Might wanna watch this twice. First time for the storm that produced hail rolling through. The second time for the birds knowing when it was safe. Super Fun!!! Thanx For Watching

 

Until The Next Time,

Cheers
