This weekend we made a quick trip up to the lake to make sure everything was still in good working order after the big arctic plunge. We also spent a good chunk of time looking at real estate. But that's a blog post for another day!
A sweet teacher friend asked to stay at the lake house during part of her spring break, so it was a good excuse to get back up there and run a dust rag and the vac over things. Plus we needed to restock the fridge and freezer since I had to pitch it all when the electricity was out for three days. Thankfully, we had a gorgeous weekend of typical spring temps and lots of sun.
The husband had some company when he was lounging on a chair out by the pool, watching the ducks paddle by on our canal. Our older daughter's chorkie joined in the fun since we're dogsitting him. Saturday evening, he jumped atop the back of the big club chair in our living room where I happened to be sitting and did his best imitation of a chicken on the throw blanket. He was busy turning in circles and scratching to get it all just right so he could snuggle down for a nap.
Now that springtime seems to be back to normal here in Texas, the oak trees on our property have started their spring molt. The leaf situation is even worse this year with most of my landscaping plants shedding now brown foliage from two snows and several days of temperatures getting down into the low teens. That doesn't faze the dogs, however. They're fine with bedding down on the leaves littering our big back patio in order to soak up some rays.
