It's a dog's life ....

.... and on such a warm day I was tempted to join him. 
This is Albus, named after Professor Dumbledore in the Harry Potter stories. He was keeping cool in the White Cart flowing through the Linn Park.

I should be out in the garden pulling weeds but it is just too warm and the ground is like concrete .... we need rain and it just doesn't seem to fall around here.
