We grilled a weekend's worth of meals on Friday so we could mostly stay inside away from the heat without using the oven this weekend. I did have errands to run, so I drove through River Oaks to see flags flying on the mansions of people who can afford to keep their lawns well-watered during the heat wave. Here are a couple of shots I liked:





Unlike certain cooperative Midwestern dogs, Guinness and Margot didn't want to pose in t-shirts with eagles and patriotic slogans on them. Maybe they're exercising their right to protest holidays that involve the noise of fireworks.

The gateway and doorway look so fine - a very tasteful celebration.

Poor dogs . . . it's wonderful how you always manage to interpret their expressions!

Hope you had a nice cool celebration!

Guinness is a trooper, but Margot's face is pitiful. Bet no one can explain her levitating front paws. :~)

Love the two River Oaks shots.
Margot and Guinness could be the poster children for the sacrifices made for our country. ;) (Margot's levitating abilities are extraordinary!)
I had 2 black dogs in my lap last night when neighbors across the street started setting off an hour's worth of (illegal) fireworks.

This is also a dog- and photo-intense journal.
