We hiked up Haystack Mountain today, our special little mountain in town. It was a group of Australian Shepherd owners Meet Up group. I have missed all the other meet ups, but today begged me out for a hike. Oh, am in such horrible shape... too much work at my desk. Way too much... Maybe this will get me out walking; some days aren't long enough.
A view from the top. Only about an hour hike up and a beautiful view of the Mettowee Valley. I've never seen so many wild flowers. About half way up they were carpets of wild flowers. I figured out most of them, but think I'll get my Audubon Wild Flower Book out.
Even the dogs were tired at the top. Ziggy is our doggie, the one in front and Vito is my friend Anita's dog. This is their first meeting which was really fun because they came from the same breeder, but different litter. They loved each other at first sight.
Here's the whole gang. One dog of each color! They all got on so well together; guess they talk the same language.
It's back to work Monday. My little shop had a structural set back. The porch retaining wall gave way on Thursday... I have been waiting for it to happen, but definitely found ways to put it off; considering it was going to cost $$$$.... fortunately the local foundation guy wasn't busy and starts this week. omg, what a project and distraction just before Brimfield. Fingers crossed there are no big surprises. Wish me luck.
