A Saturday with Lily in Pics

On Saturday I try to spend as much time with Lily as humanly possible. This time I tried to document this is pictures and I am going to try and share the special day that we spend together I really love getting a chance to hang out with Lily when it is just the two of us. I think she had a great time and really enjoyed going all of these places with me.

The first thing I did in the morning was make blueberry scones, which are my most favorite breakfast food ever. I try and make them often but they are a little fattening. I will be posting the recipe soon so be sure and check back for that one but here is a picture to make your mouth water.

The most amazing blueberry scones ever.

After breakfast I let lily outside and she started chasing the squirrels, which I totally love.

Here she is chasing the squirrels oven the fence at the back of the yard, doing here cute little barking

I decided to rock this outfit for the day, I really love the combo of blue and pink. 

 Once I was dressed and ready Lily and I headed to the Arlington Farmers Market, which is dog friendly. There was a bunch of cute stuff inside the building that sold bread and some jams. There might have even been a few trinket items but I was more interested in the produce sold out front.

 This is Lily after saying, really Mom the farmers market they kept petting me. I think she had a good time although I do wish there had been a little more variety in the produce or just more stuff to buy. I really love buying produce I think I am going to check out the Dallas Farmers Market one of these days or maybe just another one close by.

After the Farmers Market

 After our Farmers Market adventure I decided that Lily and I would check out the Arlington Dog Park. It has been a long time since I took Lily to a park and we have never been to a dog park. I will be honest I wasn't too sure how much she was going to love it but I think we both had a nice time at the park.

The park had a large grassy area for the dogs to run around in and play with one another. There were several dogs at the park, there wasn't a whole lot of playing with the other dogs for Lily.

After we played in the yard a little bit I saw there were trails at the back for us to roam around in and play. These trails were a great place for us to practice our off the leash skills. Lily was really good at this and seemed to enjoy roaming around never straying too far from me and coming when she was called.

This is a squirrel that was barking at us, yes barking or at least that is what it sounds like

Tired girl from playing around at the dog park.

 After the dog park we headed home, mainly because I had to pee really bad. I did consider peeing in the woods at the dog park but I thought that was a little uncivilized so we just left and headed home. Once we got home and I went to the bathroom I unloaded our haul from the farmers market.

I got cucumber, cantaloupe, tomatoes, squash, croutons (super yummy) and some strawberries.

 After unloading the haul I made a tomato and cucumber sandwich and headed outside for a little time in the sun. I laid out for a while on this awesome mat that my folks gave me for graduation. It wasn't too hot outside, it wasn't cool by any means but I didn't melt my face off either.

Laying out reading my glamour magazine and listening to a little music the only thing missing was a drink

 After laying out and reading for a little while, I decide that it was time for Lily's bath. So I gave her a both outside in the yard, which was way better than the baths she used to get in the tub when we lived in St. Louis. She didn't really enjoy this part of the day but I did since she was starting to smell a little like an outside dog.

Time for a post-bath cookie

Super clean dog.

 At the end of the day we just hung out around the house and just enjoyed being together. I really do love any chance to get to hang out with the dog. I know there will be many more dog adventures in the future, guess we will see what this summer in Texas holds for us.

Using lots of pics makes this a much longer process and perhaps even in reading this, sorry about that.
