The Puppies

We are very fortunate to live in a neighborhood with lots of kids. They range from from two to teens and they belong to the folks next door or across the street.

We get a kick out of watching them play. The younger ones in particular remind us of a group of playful pups. That's why when we see them out there we tell the spouse “the puppies are out.” Their energy is amazing. They run, they shout, they dash here and there and it's wonderful to watch.

They were out in force today. It was sunny and warm and while the dads mowed lawns and did other springtime chores around the yards, the kids were all over the place.

We watched in between our own chores and enjoyed the show.

They say older people need to be around kids and dogs. That's fine as long as we don't have to take care of either.

That reminds me, tomorrow is Mother's Day and we are looking forward to spending part of the day with our son and daughter-in-law and as many of their four grown pups who may be around.
