Eventually I need to take this walking part of the training seriously.  I just feel bad for leaving the puppies at home. :(

Day #175: Lavender Fields

Guest photographer today - my Aunt Sara and whoever was the random person that took the picture of the 4 of them.
My mom and her sisters this last weekend took a trip up to Mt. Shasta to the Lavender fields. The close up of the lavender is now the background on my iPad. Thanks Aunt Sara.

Day #174: Sonoran hot dog anyone?

I saw this while driving home yesterday (meant to post it, but forgot :( )

A Sonoran hot dog is a hot dog wrapped in bacon. Keeps me employed.
