Friday was a beautiful day for a walk along the lake. My dogs are so happy winter is behind us...for a few months. They have been stir crazy to get out. Upstate new york has no shortage of parks.We fully take advantage of them.We have short spring/summer seasons. As soon as the thermemter goes over 50 the ants come out of the woodworks..you see folks out and about.Over the winter it seems to be a ghost town.

Britt and abbey found a large rock to rest on.Abbey is our laid back sheltie.

Cody on the other hand wanted to say Hi to ever passer-by.

Cody stopped briefly...but he is about to run off to say hi to more children.

sunset....on another beautiful day!

A very peaceful mothers day! 

 This was truely a beautiful day. Brittney back from her mission trip. Russ relaxed after a good week at work. Perfect weather..and beautiful Lilacs!

Mothers day was a blast. My husband and daughter rock. They put so much into the day... I am blessed.

We walked the lilac festival, ate out and I opened present. I love elephants. They actually found an artist shop and found a very nice elphANt clock...I was very surprised.

Russ snaped this picture as I opened it.it is made of metal and hand painted,with trunk up ;of course!
