Good morning. ☀️ Early morning on the porch - it’s already nearly too hot and humid - this afternoon will be a doozy! For the heat over the next few days, I’m going to make frozen cherry-coconut ice pops. ✨🤩✨ I hope you have a wonderful Thursday.

Good morning. 🤍 Woke up foggy as could be, like a fever dream. ⛈️ It was pouring so hard last night, and after I fell asleep again the entire sounds system randomly started playing music at 3:40am! 🎶👻🎶 (I think it’s the previous owner, Lois!) Anyway, it’s July 1st. Enjoy your day.

Good morning. ☀️ Birds are singing. A tiny airplane is buzzing by overhead. It’s humid, but cool on the screened in porch. 🤍☕️🤍Tuesday=Great Barrington! We’ll practice YoYo’s leash skills, visit his friend at the hardware store and split a toasted peanut butter and jelly sandwich. 🥪😊 Enjoy your day!

Yep.

Good morning. 🤍 June 28, YoYo’s 4th birthday! 🧁 We’re currently sitting in a cloud of white. Fog, fog everywhere. I hope you have a peaceful Sunday. 🕊️

Good morning. 🤍🩵🩶 It’s another grey morning. Little breaks of blue sky peeking through makes me think the sun will come later. Making my first stone fruit caprese of Summer today. 😋 I have got some yummy plums for it. Enjoy your Saturday!

Good morning. 🤍 Palest blue and grey skies out there. It’s damp and a little dark. Waiting on the sun to burn it off. 💛☀️💛 This is the summer of friendly squirrels and chipmunks taunting YoYo through the window. He wonders how he got so lucky?! I want to know where they came from! 😅Enjoy your Friday.

Good morning. ☀️ Sun’s out again! The last few days have been so wet, cool, and gloomy. I’ve got it easy today, thankfully. Make it a beautiful day. ✨💖✨

Good morning. 🤍🌬️ Foggy skies and more rain. The sauna is preheating for a session before the day really gets rolling. ✨🧖🏼‍♀️✨ I look forward to it every day. Make it a beautiful one!

We recently started watching Pee Wee’s Playhouse. It’s predictable, light-hearted, and his heart was always in the right place. 💗

Good morning. 🤍 Flat white skies and big rain arrives by noon. It’s Monday and Dog Dad’s working from the office. Yo and I are on our own, and he is busy protecting the perimeter from squirrels. 🐿️ “Dog dad day” was a good one. They shared some serious couch cuddles. 🥰 Enjoy your day!

Yes.

Good morning. ☀️ Slept late (for me) and just poured a second cup. 🤍☕️🤍 Wishing you a peaceful Sunday. 🕊️

Good morning. 💙 It’s cool, dark, and moody out there now, but it looks like it will burn off and turn into a beautiful day. 😻 I’m ready for a second cup! ✨☕️✨ Make it a great Saturday.

Good morning. 🩵 Bluest skies and pleasant out there. YoYo has a groom today. ✨🐩✨ Dog Dad is home for a 3 day weekend. 🚴🏻‍♂️ Enjoy your Friday!

Good morning. 🌧️☔️🌧️ It’s so dark and gloomy this morning, but the squirrel outside the dining room window is keeping YoYo totally entertained, despite the rain! ✨🐿️✨ Lamb burgers and Taverna Salad on the menu today. 🥗 Dentist visit later. 🤍 Enjoy your Thursday!

Good morning. It’s Wednesday! 🩵☀️🩵 I found organic cherries at the market yesterday - I’m sure you all heard me squealing from miles away. 🍒😍🍒 Make it a great day!

Good morning. 💖 We’re looking at mid-June, already! It’s perfect weather again today. 🌤️ Dog dad is back from his bike camping trip. 🚵🏻‍♂️🏕️ Black bean salad with spicy-lime dressing on the menu. 🫘🥑🫑🍋‍🟩🌶️ Make it a beautiful Tuesday!

Good morning. 🎶🐦‍⬛ Birds are singing. It’s crisp and cool with a breeze. YoYo and I are enjoying coffeetime on the screened in porch. I hope you have a beautiful Monday. 🖤

Good morning. 🩵 YoYo has been “hunting” from the dining room window for an hour. When I finally let him outside he had a “Keystone Cops” moment. Imagine: a wide stance, looking back over his shoulder, and a BUNNY ran between his feet. 🐇 Now that’s what dreams are made of! 🤣 Have a peaceful Sunday 🕊️

Good morning. 🌿🌸🌿 It’s breezy and 67 with low humidity. What a day - it’s just fantastic! We’re on the screen porch enjoying what Mother Nature has to offer. ☀️🌬️ I hope you have a beautiful Saturday! 🥰🐩🥰

True story. ❣️

Good morning. That photo of Tauren and I is from 2017 - I would never hang that now that it’s been commandeered. 😫 Boy, how things have changed. Quiet weekend here. 💐 I hope you have a beautiful Friday. 💚

Good morning. 🌫️😶‍🌫️🌫️ Awoke to all the windows dewy and fogged up. It’s so hazy out there beyond the glass. My hope is it will burn off as the morning goes on! Late today YoYo will have his old friend Eros over for a little romp in the yard - it’s a surprise! ✨🤩✨ Enjoy your Thursday. 💛

Good morning. ☀️ Pale blue skies for a Wednesday! Dog Dad is preparing for his yearly bike-packing trip. I’m thankful I don’t camp. Ha! 🚴🏻‍♂️🏕️ YoYo and I have big plans for a poodle party while he is gone. 🐩💓🐩 Should be fun! Enjoy your day.

Good morning. 🩵 Had a solid night’s rest last night. It’s quiet in the house and YoYo is laying on the daybed watching for woodland creatures. Lately the squirrel has been visiting his window for an up close and personal taunt! ✨🐿️✨ I hope you have a beautiful day. 🌸💗

Oh boy, Monday came and went and I didn’t sign on here. It was beautiful today. I hope you had a great one!

Ha! Yes, this.

Good morning. I hope you have a peaceful Sunday. 🤍🕊️

I feel attacked. 🤣🤣🤣

Oh, hi! It’s Saturday and I forgot to do my “good morning memories” post! Swimming with YoYo yesterday was a blast. He is such a good fishy now! 🐟 Friends for dinner tonight. I’m serving ranch seasoned chicken thighs and a big salad. Enjoy the rest of your day! 🩵

Good morning. ☀️🩵 Sunshine and clearest blue skies! Yesterday felt like Summer, today too. As a matter of fact, I’m taking YoYo swimming this afternoon before his bath. 🐩💦 He loves his time as a 🐟! Did my weekend shopping yesterday - no cherries, yet! 🍒🥲 Enjoy your Friday!

Good morning. ☀️ It’s going to feel like summer today! I’m starting out a bit slow (like always?!) but the afternoon should be packed with activity. Hoping to find organic cherries at the market later. 🤞🏻🍒🤞🏻 Enjoy your day!

Good morning. 🍒🌸🍒🌸🍒 Tis the season when peonies and cherries share the table top. (How great is that?) I picked up my first bunch of peonies yesterday. Hopefully cherries will be waiting at the market for me come Friday?! Enjoy the day!

Good morning. 🩵 Crisp clear blue out there. We’re off for an adventure today to a nearby town that we have not been - just a few miles beyond where we normally go. 🥲 High of 70 - so super pleasant for YoYo to enjoy - head out the window for all the sniffs. 🐩🌳🚙💨🌳 Have a great Tuesday!

Good morning. ☀️ Late start! Still sneezing. 🤧 I can’t believe I am saying this, but I hope we get a few days of rain to knock the pollen down to the ground! I hope you make it a great Monday! 💛

Good morning. 🩵 We’ve got bright blue skies and sunshine! ☀️ YoYo is hunting squirrel from the daybed in the dining room. Occasionally he turns to a toy next to him and makes it squeak. 🐿️🐩 Dog Dad is out for a ride. 🚴🏻‍♂️💨 Wishing you a peaceful Sunday. 🤍🕊️

Good morning. 🩶🤍🩶 We are having a drizzly, breezy start. I have no flowers this weekend, but the bakery promised me peonies on Tuesday! 🍒🌸🍒 It’s a sweet time of year when organic cherries show up at the market alongside peonies that look like prom skirts! 👗 Enjoy your day!

Good morning. 🩵 Pale blue skies. It’s Friday! 💛🥳💛 Birch, Oak, and Maple pollen is in “full bloom” and completely crushing me. Holy cow! 🤧 I hope you have a wonderful day.

Good morning. ☀️ Thursday - short week! Pollen count is high. Thankful to have the house buttoned up, and the AC on. 🤧 Dog Dad is WFH today and tomorrow, so that is fun for the 🐩! Enjoy your day, folks!

Good morning. Humid yet cool coffee time on the screened in porch. ☕️ YoYo is ready for fetch, but he has to wait a bit since his tummy is full. 🏈🐩 I hope you have a fantastic day! ⭐️🤩⭐️

The way YoYo lures me to the mudroom and points to his leash with his nose!

Good morning, Tuesday! ☀️ Thank goodness that rainy weather pattern broke! 😅 Oof. Back on track after a sleepy, rainy few days on the lounge in the TV room. Dog Dad’s in the office again and it’s just me, the giant poodle, and a “dog mom and me” car adventure! 🐩🚗💨 Enjoy your day!

Good morning. ☔️🌧️☔️ Longest, wettest, three day weekend - EVER. Dog Dad and dog-dog are cuddling on the lounge watching it pour. 🐩💕🧍‍♂️I slept heavy and nothing feels in the right place. I swear my collar bone feels like it’s broken again?! I hope you have a great day! 🌈🌦️

Can relate. 💯%

Good morning. ☔️ It’s pouring! Dog Dad has a work call in a few minutes, so it feels less “three day weekend” than usual. I hope the sun is shining and you have a peaceful Sunday, without work calls! 🤍🕊️🤍

Good morning. 🤍 Flat white and 50 degrees out there. It’s going to be a rainy three day weekend for us. I’m going to make that Chinese chicken salad again, ranch chicken thighs, and lamb kofta this weekend. 💗😋💗 Make it a great day!

Good morning. ⛅️ I don’t know about you, but the coffee tastes extra good this morning! 🤍☕️🤍 I did the shopping yesterday, so I have a light schedule this afternoon. The screen porch needs a good cleaning, so I suppose I’ll get to that. ✨🧹✨ Make it a great Friday!

Good morning. 🤍🩶🤍 Grey skies and light rain to start the day. Just poured a second cup. ☕️ Lots to do today, so I’d best keep going! Make it a great Thursday. 🌷💚🌷
