This is not a pet blog

This dog came over for a visit this weekend:

So did this dog:

Their owners were visiting for a fantasy baseball draft cookout.

Allie, did not care for it:

Moments after that hiss, Allie skinned that dog and wore the pelt as a trophy:

The Flowering dogwood proves it is spring in our backyard:

See? Not a pet blog.

Just some pics

We went over to O-town for dinner on Saturday night. I took a picture of the railroad tracks and the overpass and the sunset. It seemed emblematic of something or other:

Those are not planets or UFOs, but simple light reflections in the phone’s lens.

We had a steak and okra last night. The Yankee makes good okra, especially since she, ya know, ain’t from around these parts:

Allie, The Black Cat is hanging out on the guest bed today. It has nothing to do with that big pool of sun she’s in:

I like to think of that look as “You are disturbing me, but I won’t make direct eye contact to let you know it.”

Root, root, root

Lovely weekend, weather-wise, for being outdoors. I shot a brief video of the ambiance:

Boomerang bubbles with @lmrsmith

A video posted by Kenny Smith (@kennydsmith) on

And I took a selfie, mostly for that sky.

Pics from the weekend

A friend was sick and complaining on social media. I leaped to the rescue! With milk and chocolate sauce.

She looked pretty good when I dropped it off at her place, though …

Autumn shows off the rally hat and rally sunglasses ensemble at the baseball stadium:

We gave it a try, and if anyone asks I did not invent the rally sunglasses:

Aubie doesn’t wear sunglasses, so he made it work with Upside Down Batman Goggles:

(I did invent those.)

We are painting. Well, we hired painters. Allie is helping:

At least we don’t have to pay The Black Cat for her painting services. She has paint on her tail.

We took my mother-in-law to the Irish pub tonight. I could go there a lot more than we do, actually. And I want to take their poster home with me:

Which is one of the reasons I took a picture of it. That’s actually a poster of which I’d buy a reproduction. Ordinarily I’d only want the authentic stuff, but that’s a good one. Ireland was amazing, having a poster of it in the office would be a nice reminder. Maybe a motivation to get back.
