He happens to be terribly depressed.
Bird season opened yesterday in the great state of Idaho.
…and he didn’t get the chance to fetch me my dinner.
Poor fellow.
Poor me!
There’s nothing half so tasty as a freshly harvested, freshly baked, entirely organic, happy little free ranging Ruffed Grouse. There’s nothing half so happy as a bird dog with his quarry in mouth.
Hang on Sequoia’s Fleet Farley. Hang on. We’ll get you doing your business before you can say jackrabbit.
PS I’ll be updating the Etsy shop tomorrow morning as soon as I have new work photographed and ready to roll! See you there!
PSS On a totally unrelated topic, isn’t THIS amazing? I actually spent part of my childhood near Dauphin, Manitoba, Canada when my family was stationed in Riding Mountain National Park. We had interesting wildlife scenes similar to this, rather often, in the front yard. Spotting lynx is very uncommon. Seeing an entire posse is downright amazing!
Sweet…coffee, garden, critters, neighbors. Pinkerton's huge!
Aww poor Farley and you indeed!! I can't wait to go "chicken" hunting this fall (next weekend eeeee!)!! Hopefully them ruffled and spruce grouses are plentiful this year as there is nothing better than fresh chicken on the grill! 🙂
Can't wait for your shop update tomorrow to see what more goodies you've got up your sleeve!! xoxox
PS-I am completely envious of your morning routine…sounds so ideal & divine…I wish, wish, wish…someday. 🙂
Pinker-butt!
Kitten butts are so in your face, aren't they? And you know they flash you on purpose.
Also, I would kiss your precious Farley on the noggin and then wrestle with him in the grass, because playing rough with big dogs is fun. Maybe that would cheer him up?
Also, I never expressed my awe and admiration for your beautiful design yesterday. So happy that it makes you happy, and I can't wait to see what you show us tomorrow!
Here's to getting over the Hump Day! Have a great one!

mmm it's so nice to have a morning routine!
Such a lovely morning routine. Your little garden is so lush & you can tell it's loved. Poor Boy Puppy!! Wanting so badly to do what his bones are telling him to do & nothing in sight.

Ruffed Grouse is Pennsylvania's state bird!
In some reverse or mixed order…I would love to see these animals…OMG, just out of this world.
Farley can say JackRabbit…haha!
You were a busy girl/are a busy girl!
I lost my favorite most worn Patagonia ring…
I need to send my chubser cat to you for training, he likes to eat.
All in all, your morning easily beat my morning even though I am not complaining. : )

As the lynx need to be recognized: what a glorious bunch of animals!
I told my boyfriend that if he was an animal he would be a Canadian lynx. We've been intrigued ever since-a dinner a while back spent pouring over google image searches and wikipedia. Yeah…
thanks for the lovely garden glimpses!
Looks and sounds like a lovely morning. Cheers to you and a big hug to the pup. xoxo
Lynx are incredible creatures, indeed. The size of their fluffy feet relative to the rest of them is very intriguing. I remember driving into town one morning (45km in) from the lake on our way to school and seeing one moving through the ditch and on into the treeline. Magic.
What a serene morning routine. You are lucky, I wish mine was like that!
Please tell me you are going to make a rhubarb pie- that's one of my favorites! 😛
HECK!
I'm going to make a HOUSE out of rhubarb!
