It’s a beautiful morning and I’m spending it out on the deck with The Fab Five. it’s a day for relaxing and replenishing before teaching commences at 4:30 PM. Bailey, Chief, and Erma are lounging near me on the deck while The Colonel and Harrigan explore the yard.

When Chief was six months old, I captured a photo of him hiding in the grass while my sons, Jose and Quintin, and I took Flyer, Navi, and Chief to play in the backfield of the high school. Chief was playing and thought he was hiding from us in the tall grass.

This morning, twelve years later, I captured a photo of another six month old pup laying in the backyard. I’ve never seen Col. Deeds just lounging like this in the grass and it seemed appropriate for the anniversary of Chief’s photo at the same age.

Make it a great day!
