Red and Rover by Brian Basset for June 28, 2020

I think you’ve got it covered, Rover!

The possibilities are endless!

COULD THOSE SUMMER DAYS GET ANY BETTER?

I love everything you just said, Rover! xoxo

ROFL! There goes Red’s good mood! Cheer up, Red; it’s just a brief passing shower.

The possibilities are endless…

♫ “Summer. Every little moment is worth it’s weight in gold.” ♫

Hot and dry or cool and rainy. There’s never a warm shower in the Pacific Northwest.

Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer.

Those days of soda and pretzels and beer.

Rover is easily pleased with most anything. He’s a goood dog!

Better get in out of the rain before you get wet.

I’m surprised that Rover mentioned fireworks.

I love the long daylight hours of summer, too

I was out for an early morning walk down my drive and saw a light twinkling across the street. Sometimes that means a jogger or bicycle but it didn’t move so I turned around and hustled back up the drive. Second lap down there, the light was still there but I saw another by my mailbox and another in the garden. Not a creepy person watching me but fireflies at 5 a.m! Neat!

I believe Rover is the smartest guy in the pool.

I think Rover overwhelmed Red! Love you guys, and be good!

Sigh…takes me back. I had forgotten about the steamy rain but that was only experienced on the road or concrete sidewalks. Don’t forget sleeping to noon and BLTs and fresh corn on the cob!

“Moby Tadpole.” For The Win!

I grew up on the east coast, my kids grew up in northern California. I had the hardest time convincing them that there was such a thing as a warm summer rain: rain is always ocean-cold here and mostly in drizzles, it comes September at the very earliest through April if you’re lucky. Rain means winter and cold. Summer months? Dry as a bone.

Ah yes, the smell of that steamy rain when it first hits the pavement in those huge drops…
