Okay, I was gonna wait and put this on tomorrow but I just couldn't help myself. We, all of us, spent the afternoon out in the yard rqaking and picking up branches and twigs that have fallen all winter. Figured I would get some of the clean-up done before the onslaught of snow comes in a day or two. Anyway, the dogs were being good, playing tag and chasing and investigating the smells that have been gone for a long time and feeling grass between their toes again. So, I thought I would take them all for a walk so I gave a yell and young miss Echo came bounding around the corner of the house and look at her !!!! She had either been digging or rolling in the mud with her sister Sydney. The three of them were covered but Echo was the absolute worst. She just looked soooooo proud of her new cloaking device. Anyway, thats it, everyone had a hosen to rinse and a towel dry and in we came. They all seem very satisfied of their day out of doors . Hopefully whatever snow we get will be short lived...

Okay, so as we sit and await yet another snow storm, and most of my friends know how much I dislike the snow scene, I came across some photos that I need to hold onto until this weather thing goes away soooooooo, I thought I would share . Take a look.......

Okay, so I really, really need to be sitting on the dock in Wells, Maine dangling my feet in the water listening to the sound of the ocean... UUgghh, it just seems like it is so far away....

I guess I will just have to dream on....... and I will patiently wait for these little guys to come and visit me and my yard.

My friend Louise tagged me for this month's front door back door meme so, here's how we are looking in Massachusetts these days.
So, here ya go!














This is my backyard and when the sun is out and the temperatures warm it is a really nice place to just sit and enjoy the birds and the quiet. All my boys and girls love running around . Baby Echo always can find something to investigate.














This is my front yard and it is terribly muddy at this time of year. Eeeoooowwww !
At this point I am just waiting for a greener time of year...

So, hope others will share.
Join in if you like - the guidelines are simple: This is a photography meme.
1. Step out your front door and take a picture.
2. Step out your back door and take a picture.
3. Put them on your blog, along with the rules.
4. If there are things in the photos that you particularly like or dislike, you can point them out, or just explain what we are seeing. Maybe changes over the seasons or some junk in your neighbor's yard that drives you nuts.
5. Tag as many or few people as you like - preferably at least one though.6. Do it again next month if you like

We just got home from puppy agility class with baby Echo. She seems to enjoy what she is learning . Anyway, must go iron for work tomorrow and do some pick up around the house. We seem to have taken every toy we have out and brought them into the living room yet we are snoozing at this point. Everyone is so content it would be a shame to awaken them with the sound of the vacuum, ahh, we will wait and do that tomorrow... Oooh, see how easy it is to re-direct and justify putting off the cleaning.... Think I shall settle for the nite and relax. Surely there must be something on cable tonite. Lets have a look... Will make sure everyone is all set for a while and then put my feet up... Later

Notice how innocent and peaceful they look, especially baby Echo. Read the story below. She spent a very long day digesting the news........

Ugh. Just got home from work. 11:20 p.m. Really don't like spending all day at work and then having to go back for another 3 to 4 hours for hearings. Oh well, it pays the bills.

On a lighter note, today when I arrived home from work, I was greeted at the door by none other than baby Echo. Hhmm, she is supposed to be in her crate. Don't know how she did it but she managed to unlock the side door to her crate and decided to take every piece of newspaper or tissues and shred them. I know I am not supposed to laugh but she just looked so candid in what she had done and it could have been so much worse I figured I would choose my battles wisely.. Anyway, think I will call it a day...

The WETHREE corgis

Sydney & Paddi

Baby Echo

These are my WETHREE corgis. In the middle is my oldest boy Paddington, (Paddi). He is my best buddy and always shadows me everywhere I go. He is always at my feet while watching TV or working on my laptop. To his left is my first little girl, Sydney, (squidward). She is my baby girl. She is my knee warmer when we go to bed. She is the queen of the kingdom . To his right is my new little girl, Baby Echo. When I think back and how there was a time when I really wasn't sure if I should get another, those questions were answered within the first 10 seconds of holding her. She is definitely a mama's girl and I wouldnt have it any other way.

My first introduction will be none other than Miss Mindy. She was my mom's Yorkie and is 16 years old but when the day is warm and the sun is shining, she still has a bit of romping left in her.

Sitting at work today I kept thinking of what I would say or talk about once I finished setting this up. I suppose it really doesn't matter as long as there are things to be shared. Like the other day when it first started raining, it smelled like the first Spring rain. Now granted it is still early and this will probably smack me in the butt, however, for that first couple of seconds, it made me drift off to a warmer time. I am also gonna try to get some pictures downloaded of the family cuz they are the cutest. Although my friend Louises baby girl, Kindle is really cute too.

So as I sit here in my living room tapping away, the boys and girls and comfortably nested snoozing after their romp and dinner. I forgot to include little Miss Mindy in my profile. She was my mom's dog until she passed last year and I took little Mindy into my herd. She is a 16 year old Yorkshire Terrier and is quite the little queen. When she enters the room, my other 3 part the way so she can go to and from the kitchen. It is nice seeing the respect they give the old girl. Hopefully I can snag a picture or 2 of her to post as well as the others.

Well, I could probably go on and on the babble but I will go for now and wait patiently for my good friend Louise to critique. Always looking for input. So as my neighbors youngest always says to me "Later".
