Happy MLK Day! I had the day off, but my husband is out of town for the week, so the dogs and I had to get out and have a fun day. It has been beautiful all weekend and today was no exception. By 9 am I was outside in a T-shirt. It was perfect.
Unfortunately, over the past few weeks of snow, the backyard has managed to collect quite a bit of dog poop. So in the midst of melting snow and ice, I was out there picking it all up. That was my first chore of the day.
Then it was time to go explore with the dogs. Last week, we found a new dog park not too far from our house. It is big and there are always plenty of dogs there and lots of old tennis balls. Everyone was happy.

After the dogs were done playing, I tired them out even more by walking around the lake. When we were done with our exercise, I dropped the dogs off at home and decided Kermit the car needed his own adventure. It was time for a car wash.
Even though we have our own home with a driveway and hose now, the hose cannot reach the driveway (It has to go through our detached garage which is a pain. So Kermit still needs to go to a car wash. I love washing cars and am determined to remedy this situation sometime. Anyway, I was not the only one with this brilliant idea today and the line was long. But it was worth it; he looked like a brand new car when he was done!

Then I came home and worked on my latest project: a 1,000 piece jigsaw puzzle. David and I have always enjoyed playing games at night, but recently I have been getting bored with our games and need a new challenge. Plus, with him gone for the week, I needed an independent project. So I opened up a puzzle on Friday. After completing the border, it started like this:

By Monday night, it looks like this:

There is still a lot of work to do, but I have made some progress, so that makes me happy. I am really addicted to this puzzle and think I need to start getting more puzzles to work on after this one is done! The beauty of jigsaw puzzles is that they can be done over and over again (although by the time I am done with this one, I will never look at beer bottles the same way again).
When was the last time you did a jigsaw puzzle?
I am pretty sure I was still in middle school!
