Isn’t it wonderful when humans take something perfectly ordinary and make it amazingly extraordinary? Like when they dip your plain old dog treat in some yummy canned food? Or when they drop ice cubes in your water bowl?
My human mommy/blogging assistant and I walk every morning. I’m a creature of habit, so we usually take the same two or three basic routes. It gets a little boring for Mommy. Not for me, you understand, because the smells are always different, always enlightening, and always fabulous. But Mommy’s sense of smell isn’t quite as advanced as mine. Therefore, we’re always on the lookout for something extraordinary on our ordinary daily walks.
We recently found a couple of fancy fences in our neighborhood. How wonderful that our neighbors have taken the time to transform something so very ordinary into something extraordinary for us to enjoy. So, as we enter the long holiday weekend, I hope you’ll take the time to look for the extraordinary in all the ordinary around you . . . and let me know what you find. Cheers!
Oh I LOVE those fences, they are gorgeous!!! DakotasDen
They definitely help to make our routine morning walks a little less routine. So glad you enjoyed them too!
Oh Miss HL, your mom and I are the same! The walks can be so boring!! She loves when she sees something new!! Great post. Happy Weekend
Mommy tries to make me take new routes . . . just to mix things up a bit. But I can be slightly on the stubborn side. Hard to believe, right? 😉
Yes, you definitely found something extraordinary along your walk! Well done and good on you for catering to your assistant. 😉
You have to keep the assistants happy. 😉
Oh, Miss Harper Lee, I am going to make sure Slow and Pretty see these fences!! That’s exactly what we have now at Casita de Cardinal, and we will hope to perk ours up in the years to come!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for the inspiration and for sharing…
Happy 4th of July to all of you!!
I aspire to inspire. 🙂 And I have a feeling you’re going to have the Sistine Chapel of wooden fences. Happy painting!
I really enjoyed this post 🙂 I love these photos, so beautiful and colorful with that artwork behind you. Lookin’ good Miss Harper Lee!
Making you happy makes me happy. So happy you enjoyed the post. (Some people might day I used too many “happy”s in one reply, but I say there’s no such things as too many “happy”s!)
I agree!! Not such thing as too many happy’s!!!
OMP! What a fab idea! Painted fences (sounds like a move title!)I just love your last line … “take the time to look for the extraordinary in all the ordinary around you” . I think that is your motto! RosyPoodleKisses and MomHUGs!
I love getting RosyPoodleKisses and MomHUGs. Kisses and hugs are super extraordinary!
The fences are very special and very nice.
It’s amazing what humans can do when they put their minds to it. 😉
That is a wonderful philosophy for the weekend, and we will do that. Aren’t those fences beautiful!
So happy you enjoyed the fancy fences, and I hope you had an extraordinary weekend!
I have contemplated having my husband paint on our fence. I’d love some flowers and butterflies. ☺
My humans mommy wants flowers and butterflies on our fence too. She’s just a little unsure of her creative skills. Maybe after a couple of glasses of wine. 😉
Never heard of such a thing, but those are awesome!
They really make us smile, and you know how Goldens love to smile. 🙂
Those are lovely. In truth, I think most fences are just looking for a little splash of color.
I think you’re exactly right.Tallulah and I volunteered to put paint on our tails and wag, but that idea was soundly vetoed. 😉
Very pretty pictures! I love finding unusual spots for pictures, and these are awesome!
Thank you so much!
