It was so gorgeous outside this afternoon. The weather tablet in our office said it was an unseasonably warm 87º outside…

Oscar’s groomer was deemed non-essential when the closed all the Ohio businesses. He’s gotten so shaggy over the six weeks. And you could tell lately he’s just been really warm and uncomfortable…

So this afternoon we tried to give Oscar a haircut…

I’ve cut my hair twice so far during the stay home. It’s turned out pretty nice both times.
I thought, “How hard could it be to cut Oscar’s hair?”
It turns out that cutting Oscar’s hair is a lot harder…

I didn’t do a very good job. At all…

Dang. Sorry, buddy. I have a new respect for the amazing job Lauren at VCA College Hill does with Oscar.
Later, we fired up the grill again…



Those burgers were just out of this world. 😀🐾🍔🌭❤️
UPDATE: Oscar’s groomer has started to take appointments again starting May 13th and he has an appointment for Friday, May 15th. So he won’t have to be uncomfortable for much longer and maybe she can even out the mess I made of his coat.

We noticed on Instagram that Second Place has started selling their delicious bourbon slushes to go. So you know we had to get a couple of slushies…


I think they repainted the building next to Second Place…

And The Littlefield was open for carry-out as well…

And we sat out in our backyard and enjoyed our slushes…


Hopefully this mess will start to look better very soon…

And Oscar hopes so too…


What a great way to send a Friday evening. Ugly or not, I love our backyard. 😀🏡🍻❤️

This evening we went to get some carry out from Django Western Taco to celebrate the nine-year anniversary of our very first date…



We shared chips & salsa, a jerk chicken quesadilla and an order of churros…

And I ordered two fried chicken tacos with pimento cheese…

Everything was delicious. We love Django Western Taco so much. 😀🌮❤️

It was another overcast and grey day…


And there was a grey squirrel on our fence…

It was overcast and grey. 😀☁️🐿️❤️

The open green space at the end of our street used to be so pretty…

It was well maintained and just a beautiful space at the end of our street…

Now, its just a hot mess. It’s supposed to be an orchard. They planted about a half dozen little trees. But it hasn’t been mowed yet this year. There’s still a giant pile of wood chips and no one has worked on it in over a year…





I wish I could just plow this whole “orchard” under so it could just go back to a nice green grass open space. Right now it looks like trash. 😀🌳❤️

Oscar was hanging out with me in our office again this afternoon…

He loves sitting on the arm of the sofa and looking out the window…

He’s so dang cute. 😀🐾❤️

We fired up the grill again this evening…

First, we grilled some marinated chicken breasts and onions…

And then we grilled some burgers…

And finally, hot dogs and bacon-wrapped jalapeno poppers…







We had a huge grilled feast for dinner…


And the jalapeno poppers were delicious too!

YUM! Everything always tastes better on the grill. 😀🐔🌭🍔🥓🌶️❤️
