They are no longer something that is a nice break from work but so much work I would almost rather be at work. And I can\u2019t believe another one is upon me! Last weekend, for example, I used my bike <strong>twice<\/strong> &#8211; which is more than I have all summer. I enjoyed a good sampling of the Lake Maid August Schell beer and caught some good sized fish doing so. I visited an art show where a piece of mine was on display {in a great location, in case you were curious}. I garage sale shopped and scored! I fell in love with the porch out back that has now been named \u2018The Square.\u2019 I decided on the Nelson family Christmas presents \u2013 in August. I got laundry washed and then got to let it air dry on the close line \u2013 something that was familiar yet foreign up until recently. I had my Terabyte of everything moved to my apartment and with the help of my pa got that hooked up, so now my life on a computer is totally up and running again!<\/p>\n<p>As an attempt to get back onto a regular working schedule I have a previous \u2018mini-session\u2019 to show photos from. Deb and Jason were so kind to let me come over and play with Penny and Lucy in their backyard one Sunday afternoon \u2013 which turned out to be one of the hottest afternoons I\u2019ve felt all summer. Ick. But the dogs were great! Lucy was dealing with some \u2018selective hearing\u2019 but fun none-the-less.<\/p>\n<p>Meet Penny\u2026<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/jmnphotography.files.wordpress.com\/2009\/08\/penny_lucy00041.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; border: 0;\" title=\"penny_lucy0004\" src=\"http:\/\/jmnphotography.files.wordpress.com\/2009\/08\/penny_lucy0004_thumb1.jpg?resize=240%2C350\" border=\"0\" alt=\"penny_lucy0004\" width=\"240\" height=\"350\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>She is a beautiful, spunky Wheaton terrier that has a face full of hair that is impossible not to love.
