a few things that made me smile today

Several years ago I saw an African saying translated as :
"When the elephants fight, the grass suffers."

At our house, we say it slightly differently:
When the big dogs play, the grass suffers.

Today, I was able to mow the grass for the first time. I love mowing the lawn (what little there is left of it!), so that made me smile.

This morning we took the dogs and headed out on the pontoon for a couple hours. I wish I had taken the camera - it's amazing how dogs can contort themselves in a seat and still be happy as clams. I'll remember the camera next time.


Here are a few photos of things I saw in the garden today that put a smile on my face.
