A peek at the weekend: road trip, Coronado castle, Harold and Maude turned 1 year old

It all started off with a birthday celebration Friday night. 🙂
Harold and Maude turned 1 year old. 

Birfdays are great. Got new present! Catch The Mouse game/scratching post.
You can see them playing with it in this video..

I was soooo proud of Sweet Pea. I think you can tell by the sound of my voice. 😀 

Big Red Fred doesn’t leave the house much these days because he’s getting so old (15), and he’s having health issues (vertigo, and the latest..seizures. it’s not looking good for the old boy. the vet said brain cancer is a possibility), but we did get him out to see a sunset with us Friday night. I think he had a good time. He ran around for a few minutes, almost like he was young again. I don’t know if we’ll ever have this chance again, so I’m glad to have these photos for the memories. I love this big ole guy. 

Saturday night sunset

It was hot hot hot all day yesterday. I much prefer a gray, cold day, but I didn’t let it stop me from getting out there, and exploring.
milo or sorghum: so allergic to this stuff :/ 

soybeans?

sunflowers: a little past their prime
Miles and miles of these beauties.
I wish I had seen them earlier. 

Coronado castle

Greg and I have been here before, and it was so packed with people yesterday, that we didn’t get out to walk around. We didn’t even stick around to see if this kid made it down the wall. It’s a really cool place, with spectacular views. We’ll be going back again in a couple weeks once the leaves start turning yellow. I’m sure I’ll do an entire post about it then. 

Today it’s back to work for me. I’m varnishing these new flower paintings from last week, and listing new paintings on Etsy. 

Hope you enjoyed. 🙂
