Walking the dog
Sometimes when you do a “chore” it becomes a pleasure. I love taking ‘Widgeon for walkies… like this photo I shared not too long ago, you can find inspiration anywhere:
When we reached the end of Sweetbriar (a nearby short road), I saw a flit of black and red… a pileated woodpecker! AND I happened to have my camera with me, and he alit on a tree for long enough to get this shot:
And then we turned the corner and the sunlight was glinting off the stone wall in the Fagan’s back yard:
Walkies are fun!

Sarah, I hope maybe that your family doesn’t read your blog, if so then you’ve still got a chance! Any chore that turns out to be fun should never be announced to the family, especially your situation of all men. That way you can talk about what big work it is, time consuming, etc… and perhaps that way either get out of some other really horrible chore (that they may in fact like) or at least maybe drum up help with those really not so pleasant chores. Anyway, wonderful pictures! Just don’t make that chore seem too much fun or someone else in the family will steal it from you!
