A glorious spring Saturday

Yesterday was a glorious day! We’ve been waiting and waiting for weather like this: sunny and warm with a touch of breeze. Ah, YES.

The first thing I did was wash the sheets and put them on the line to dry. Nothing like fresh breeze-blown sheets!

We did some chores around the house and yard while Bella and Alex practiced being Siamese twins.

After a trip to the grocery store for supplies for dinner (BBQ ribs, coleslaw and corn) and a quick lunch we pulled Mia out and gave her a wash.

She was so shiny after her bath that I was compelled to grab the camera and started taking photos. The reflection of the trees on her hood was too good to pass up.

While taking these photos I realized that my reflection was there as well. I had fun snapping some silly shots. Can you find me?

After her bath we couldn’t just put her back in the garage on such a perfect ‘tops down’ day now could we? No! So we went for an hour’s drive.

We have several favorite routes that take us along wooded two-lane roads. And there is no such thing as a straight road where we live, so the little roads are perfect for Mia’s cornering abilities.

I like to shoot straight from the passenger seat on the sports setting for realism. Here is a sampling of our drive.

The beautiful Warwick Valley (NY) in the distance.

A glimpse of Greenwood Lake, the largest lake in New Jersey which is shared with New York State. Our house is less than ten minutes away.

Today is supposed to be cloudy with some rain moving in later. We are planning on taking the dogs down to Green Turtle Pond then off to the opening day of the Warwick Farmer’s Market. I hope you enjoyed our Saturday!

Bella/Alex-hahaha! It looks like a beautiful Saturday in NJ and lots of fun. Mia shines like a polished apple!

They are really “joined at the hip” buddies! It was beautiful and Mia does look like a polished apple!

What a great day you had - I really enjoyed the road trip such beautiful countryside.  It’s so good to get washing out on the line to dry.  I like the sound of ribs for dinner.  Bella and Alex’s coats are as shiny as Mia!

Love the sign.  Hope you ‘obeyed’.  It was a gorgeous day here too, but almost too hot on Sunday.  But I’ll take it over rain any day.

C, you really have to “obey” the sign on this road. It’s windy and straight down the hill! Not as hot here on Sunday.

Joyce, glad you came along for the ride!
