We made up for it, however. Here is Sam sitting in the greenbelt.
The greenbelt is one of our favorite spots to walk in the neighborhood.
I think Sam occasionally thinks I'm taking him on forced marches!
The storm knocked down many trees. This poor Palo Verde is one if its victims.
I let Sam off the leash in one of the greenbelts. He celebrated his freedom!
It made him really happy and wet!
Since the rain had kept us indoors, I worked on my painting. Don't panic! It's not finished yet!
After our walks, Sam likes to relax with a nice chewy.
On Friday we went to the bookstore. We stocked up on books and have spent Labor Day reading. Sam strongly recommends these books.
Dean Koontz published a wonderful memoir on his dog Trixie. I strongly recommend having a box of Kleenex nearby before reading it!
We also recommend this series of books by David Rosenfelt. I'm not too fond of courtroom dramas, but the books have a unique sense of humor, and the main character has a Golden Retriever!
Sam enjoyed all the books!
Sam hopes everyone enjoyed Labor Day!
See, Sam, we told you that the weekend would be better for you. That greenbelt looks like a great place to roll around and get all wet. Thanks for all the book suggestions.

OMD - just read "A Big Little Life" last weekend and posted about it. Amazingly and beautifully written. And Sam... thanks for putting it out there again. You look so happy back-scratching around on that greenbelt! Sorry you've had 'puter probs without some laid-back time this weekend. Hope you have a restful evening working on that chewy!

What a beautiful painting! Will we get to see it finished?
ReplyDeleteSam - it looks like you had a great time in that grass... but with it being wet and all -- you didn't get your feety-feet wet, did you? I just can't stand stepping in wet grass. Woo.
Luv,
Dave
I can't think of a better way to spend a rainy day than with a stack of books - and a golden retriever - of course George Clooney would help - but lets not be picky.
ReplyDeleteNow I have a reading list for my next rainy day!
It looks like you made the most of your time - perhaps having the internet crash was a good thing. :)
ReplyDeleteOh Sam! You are just soooo smart to read all those books!
ReplyDeleteYour greenbelt area looks like a great place to walk and roll in the grass!
Hope you don't have too many more of those big storms. No good.
Hugs and snaggle-tooth kisses,

Sam, that is our idea of a perfect weekend! I didn't know your Mom was an artist - very beautiful :)
