Now and Soon

I promised pictures of the azaleas, they're below. Taking the dogs out around the yard this morning, everything was bathed in the beautiful eastern light. I had to go back in and grab my phone and take pictures. 

The azaleas are in full bloom right now but very soon, they'll start to die off. All the white ones will turn brown and die. It's always so short a time, and always a mess after. 

Our rhododendrons are nowhere near ready and that seems a little late, but they are coming. Soon. I sat at the patio for a while, and even cleaned pollen off half of the surface. Soon. Very soon. 

Today was nowhere near as busy as all week, I was able to easily get things done. I went to the gym and went and had bloodwork done after.  It took me a little while to get out of the parking lot at the doctors' office because of some silly geese. They stood behind my car forever and yelled at me. I kept my distance, and eventually they moseyed along and I could leave. But I thought... well, I live here now. 

I didn't take the dogs for walks tonight because Dahlia actually went in the yard, shockingly. She was praised and got cookies. They were annoyed, and wanting, but I'm wiped out. So I threw toys for like 2 hours for her and she brought them back over and over. 

Retriever.

And we watched a lot of hockey. 

We decided we're going to take a little drive tomorrow out to Front Royal VA. The weather is supposed to be good, and we haven't done anything in months and months. Geoff is going to stay home and babysit the dogs. I hope I don't fall off my get exercise every day this month wagon. Hmm. 

Maybe walk a dog first thing. After coffee. 

Anyway, here are some more pictures. Enjoy.
