A glorious afternoon yesterday.  I pulled out the umbrella so sweetie-pie could sit without being in the sun.
A bit nippy still, so the blanket and the soft bed since the ground is still frozen.

Boucle loved it.
Loved seeing me hang the laundry…..loved the spring sunshine….loved being out for hours and hours….
Boucle loved it…..

…so happy that he had gone to the lake……Boucle talked all the way home…….

Normally he talks, which is burbling, lamb sounds, when he is excited because he is going and can smell the lake as we approach…..

This time….he burbled all the way home in his excitement that he had seen the Lake again………

Finally!

Boucle and I went to the Lake in the afternoon.  It was a beautiful day, most of the ice and snow has melted and sweetie-pie has not seen the Lake since New Year’s Day.

He loved it.  Was so happy to see geese and seagulls and the waves of the Lake.

This was sweetie-pie at the beginning of the excursion…….

 

…what are you up to sweet Boucle?……..
