The work week seems to take forever, dragging along, but finally it's the weekend - time for the happy dance!
There are just certain joys to the weekend that are unparalleled.
Waking up slowly and leisurely - no alarm clocks, no deadlines. Just sweet, sunny mornings and the sound of birdsong in the trees.
Having the time to start my mornings by making and enjoying a great cup of cappuccino.
Gathering the family around the dining room table for a traditional Irish breakfast.
Napping in a sun puddle amid a few favorite toys. I think she wore herself out!
Waking up refreshed and ready to play again - squeak, squeak - come play!
Time for another nap, this time the toy comes, too!
Morning sunshine streaming through the curtains in my cozy dining room.
Puttering around my little country kitchen, cooking up meals for the people I love.
We all know who really runs the show around here - these two little rascals.
"Let me in, let me out, feed me, give me a cookie, I want to play Chuck It"....it never ends on the weekends!
My little furbabies are just as much part of my family as my daughters are.
I am so glad I invested in nice furniture for my pups - they really seem to enjoy it! :)
The weird little Monkey loves spending extra time out on the deck on the weekends when we are home. Fortunately, it's gated, so I can leave her out there without worrying about her.
And for me? Weekend evenings by the fire pit are pure heaven.
I wouldn't trade my simple country life for anything in the world.
Happy Weekend, Friends!
I hope you have a great weekend! I know those pups sure will! :D)
ReplyDeleteTomorrow we will be heading to the land to garden, and then Sunday I have a date with some girlfriends at a tea house... can't wait!
Oh how nice! You're a busy lady, I don't know how you do it all!!
DeleteSimple quiet weekends are a joy. It's time for relaxing. Hope your weekend is filled with fun. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
ReplyDeleteThey truly are, Susie. Right now I have two sleeping pups snoring in the living room while I'm online - I couldn't be more content!
DeleteWhat a lovely house and deck you have. I can understand why you relish your time there on the weekend. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Daisy! I enjoy every second I spend in my little house!
DeleteYour home always looks so beautiful, warm and inviting - I'd love to spend all weekend there, too!
ReplyDeleteAwww, thanks, Melanie - you're too sweet!!
DeleteHave a restful weekend, friend.
ReplyDeleteI'm trying, Dayle....although being pulled in a few directions, unfortunately!
DeleteGreat photos...love the ones of the pups. You have the perfect porch to watch the sun go down.
ReplyDeleteHave a relaxing weekend.
I think half my computer is filled with photos of the pups - it's hard not to snap photos of them constantly, when they are just so cute!
DeleteEverything looks wonderful. I think you have the perfect summer deck. :)
ReplyDeleteAlmost perfect, Deb - a covered area would be nice, to be able to sit and watch a storm roll in....perhaps some day!
Deleteenjoyed my visit with you this morning! Those little doggies are adorable...you can tell they are so spunky just by the pictures! They look so ready to play play play! Have a nice weekend!
ReplyDeleteHa ha yes, usually - although right now they are all tuckered out and sleeping next to me in the living room! My old girl is snoring in her bed behind my chair, and the little monkey is cuddled up on top of a pillow on the chair across from me!
DeleteYou have a lovely home! I am so jealous of your deck.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Laurie! The deck was a big selling point for me - I knew I could do so much with it! It's strange, the previous owners had nothing out there but a couple of lounge chairs - they certainly weren't taking advantage of it, that's for sure!
DeleteIsn't that the truth about our furbabies! They become family! Enjoy! Nancy
ReplyDeleteSo true, Nancy - they are my little babies!
DeleteI loved seeing in to your beautiful, country home! It is just lovely...so warm and inviting and comforting to behold. Thank you for sharing it with us here! And those fur babies are just adorable! Happy weekend to you!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Cheryl! I always loved a small, cozy home - someplace that people feel comfortable when they visit!
DeleteWe love the weekends too. David has had to work most Saturdays lately, but we have a relaxing Sunday together. I just love your dogs in the chairs. They look so cute.
ReplyDeleteThose two little pups have just taken over the house, without a doubt!
DeleteIt does look like a "a wonderful life"!
ReplyDeleteYou must have seen the sign I have up in my kitchen, Bernideen - and by the way, that's my all time favorite movie!
DeleteOh those pups! I really look forward to your posts about them. :) They sure have character + . :) I hope you have a wonderful and relaxing weekend. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Debbie - I did take some time to relax this weekend....although I felt a little guilty about it - :)
DeleteSounds like a great life for you! I'm very happy that all is going so well for you. I love your sweet home and your little doggies are just the cutest things! Blessings to you,
ReplyDeleteShelia ;)
They are the cutest things, Shelia, you are so right! That's how they ended up being so spoiled!!
DeleteYour weekends sound amazing and relaxing.
ReplyDeleteYour weekends sound amazing and relaxing.
ReplyDeleteOccasionally, Valerie....but more often than not, they are busy with various chores, commitments, etc. I could use a little more relaxing time, for sure....some day!!
