My Morning Coffee Bench






















This is a picture of me on my bench that I got for Mother's Day.

In the morning, I walk the dogs out front and sip coffee while they do their thing. Only since we have had so much rain this summer, the mosquitos chase us in after about 14 seconds.

It is finally drying out, so we can sit a bit longer. I am usually not as awake-looking as I am in this photo. That's Ralphie on my lap, Boomer looking at me and a little bunny statue next to me. I move him to various locations in the front yard to see if the neighbors notice. Fourth of July he was holding a little flag by the mail box.

The neighbors have not commented.

Oh, and the good-lookin' kid behind the camera is Bryan.

I hope that you insist on Ralphie getting down off of your lap to do his business... LOL

It looks like a very nice place to sit and sip coffee while watching the dogs um...er...well...you know...=)

I love the bunny - keep moving it around - sounds like something I would do! Someone is BOUND to notice if the bunny shows up say, on the hood of their car before they leave for work in the morning?

I'm jealous of your rain - we've been bone dry here and it is awful! We are in desperate need of rain - so, please send some our way! =)

Totally wonderful, Cindy!

Wish I could sit next to you and sip with you!

Maria-
I wish you could sit and sip, too!

Yep, I turn my head when they do their business, but actually it makes me very happy. My motto-
One more poop outside means one less potential poop inside!

I strive for the higher ideals..lol

We are all on a journey, and this blog's reason for existence is to be a place to put mine. From humble suburbian begnnings just north of Dallas to a Catholic unschooler with a passion for faith, lifelong learning, my family and dogs, here I stand before you. Welcome to my world!
Authenticity. That would have to be my theme at present. To enjoy my family, be true to ourselves and our faith and be authentic and enthusiastic about life!

I love Dog Day Afternoons...
"What children need is not new and better curricula but access to more and more of the real world; plenty of time and space to think over their experiences, and to use fantasy and play to make meaning out of them; and advice, road maps, guidebooks, to make it easier for them to get where they want to go (not where we think they ought to go), and to find out what they want to find out."
