“The afternoon knows what the morning never suspected.” – Robert Frost
Our road trip to the other side of Washington State. Such a wonderful pleasure to see my kids enjoying the attractions I loved as a kid including the garbage goat and the carousel. (Yes, the goat sucks up garbage fed to him). I’d count those miles well spent!
Cooper has grown so much in the 5 weeks he’s been with us that he doesn’t chase cars, he eats them!
The heart and the sign of the week – a two-fer with a two-fer.

Nice sayings from your tea bags.

Yes, the wagon is fun. The kids climb up the ladder and disappear for a few minutes until they pop out the chute. Funny! Hope you have a great weekend, Erin!

I had to look twice at the wagon slide photo! My brain wasn’t processing the slide and the kiddo coming down! Love the teabags. Cooper is certainly getting bigger!

That’s funny about the wagon slide, Tamara. I think because it’s an expected size in our recollection, it’s hard to put together what we’re seeing. Thanks for the lovely comment! Have a great weekend!

You…you…you…are not playing fair. Every week you top the week before and even though you don’t ask any of us to pick a fave, I end up reviewing and enjoying the pics, trying to discern which I love the most. I surrender. I love them ALL. 💕💕💕

I didn’t make it out to the eastern side of the state often, but the couple of times I did, I enjoyed those trips. The scenery is different but still starkly beautiful in its own way.

The years that our daughter went to college at Gonzaga, my guy and I got to appreciate the city of Spokane. Very unique and kind of old-school and beautiful. Loved your photos, love your dog!

I think you’ve found a partial solution to climate change with Cooper. If he is already eating cars, perhaps you can train him to eat those powered by gasoline and spare those that are electric! I’m sure this will be easy to cram into your leisure time, Wynne!

Ah, Dr. Stein, so far Cooper’s taste, or at least his proclivity to be discerning, hasn’t made me think he’s not up for saving the planet…yet! 🙂
