TUESDAY 7th June: Donkeys and buttercups

Tara:

So we had to wait for ages and ages cos it was hot again.  Mum wouldn't take us out all day, until it was cooler.  But that woz OK cos it meant I could bounce on Cato more!

And he was quite bouncy too.  I think he got bored with sleeping all day as well.

This is me after bouncing.  Mum says I look like a Hooligan.

But it was FUN.  Even more fun than helping Dad with the shed, and helping with the grocery delivery.  And it was MUCH more fun that sleeping all day!

 

Cato:

It woz a bit hot.

And the grass woz so long we didn't see the donkeys over the buttercups.

We showed Dad the way along the ditch.  Remember how steep it is?  Well Tara was bouncing VERY close to the edge.  You can't see it cos all the green stuff is huge now, but the ditch is very deep.  Remember?

Tara was bouncing a lot, and we kept having to run to catch up.  I think she was a bit surprised at how much I bounced back. Haha!

See?

We walked a looooong way, and then we had a rest at a bench.  Mum and dad looked at Geese

and lots of hot sweaty joggers all running around in the heat.  They are MAD!

And we had a big drink.

I was getting hot and tired by then, cos of all the bouncing, earlier.  And I really wanted a lift, but I knew that Mum doesn't like me going on strike. :(  So I tried to keep up.  But I was panting hard.

And even though I was trying, Dad decided to help me, and after we had a second bench drink, he carried me the rest of the way.  I love Dad.  Of course Tara was jealous, cos she wanted Dad to carry her too.  But she wasn't as Bounced On and Panty as me.  And she has longer legs.

Mum says that we are going to have a fur trim on Friday, and will be lovely and coooolllll after that.  And if it is this hot again tomorrow, we may have to wait till it is nearly dark and then walk on the pavements. :(

 

 

Mum:

Isn't this beautiful?  The pink and the white are growing on the same tree.  Stunning

And this was today's memorial bench plaque

There are 8 signets!! 8!!! I hope they manage to raise them all...

Beautiful irises (I think) just growing wild at the water's edge - right next to thistles

We are so unbelievably lucky to get to walk the dogs in these beautiful places.  And having The Mutts write this blog really makes me see and appreciate it all with new eyes.

I get back here and upload the photos and see the intense greens and blues and colours, and I sometimes can't believe it was really that brilliantly colourful - but it was.  only a full 360 of beauty, not just a square photo. :)

Best part of my day is seeing where you two got to go and I look forward to moms pictures with great expectations....She never fails to inspire me with her beautiful flowers, park visits and tree's......

Life gets in the way sometimes being so busy...we take no notice of the small beautiful things....the two tone shrub is magnificent and begs you to stop and stare at its uniqueness and beauty. Even the lowly but devilish thistle...has its own beauty in its own right...Love that you two write your blog and mom taking all the pictures of your journeys.....It's a true window to the beauty of the world....Thank You, Mom, Mr. C, Tara and Cato for sharing your life through pictures with us ❤️

Another wonderful walk in one of your wonderful areas.  Love all the wildlife pictures of the geese and swans.  I wonder if the Donkeys are eating around the buttercups........reason I say that is buttercups only showed up here in our fields about 3 years ago and each year there is more........our neighbor has to pull his cows out of one field to another that has no buttercups cause the flowers are very bitter and cause tummy problems for his cows..........I think also that we take things for granted until we take the time and sit to look and listen at the beauty around us.....I was mowing last night and reached a certain part of the yard and stopped and looked at the setting sun cascade down over the distance and thought how beautiful and how great to be here at this moment to see this.......Gods art work.......thanks for another great walk......since I can't be there I can be with pictures.
