Copper (our lab) and I recently went on one of our “water tank” hikes. Though we’ve done this many times, I still take more pictures. How many photos can one have of the same location? Well, I guess many, if you try for new angles. It’s kind of like an addiction, but a healthy one. The hike is uphill from our house and we ended up with tall grass hugging us while walking on thin trails and all I could think about were ticks. Copper stays on flea and tick medication but once in awhile, they still manage to get on him.
Luckily, when we got home he was tick free and so was I! 🙂

I’m also including some flowers from our yard.
It’s coming back to life
now that Copper is getting a little older and less mischievous. 🙂

Yellow Chrysanthemums to liven up the living room

Abutilon – I hadn’t heard of this before,
but I love the colors,
also known as Indian mallow and Velvetleaf

Beauty wrapped in pink

We have no idea what this is, as it moved in
before we did. 🙂

Of course, here’s Copper, my walking partner

I hope you’ve enjoyed this collection
and I wish you a wonderful weekend ahead. 
HAPPY FRIDAY!  ♥
