Sunflowers and other Goldens

We've had a gorgeous weekend of unseasonably cool weather here. It's been so wonderful to have the windows open and sleep to songs of the crickets floating in on the breeze! Yesterday we headed off to the vineyard and spent a lovely day bottling wine, visiting with our customers who more and more seem like friends, and walking the dogs. We had Bailey with us as his family is in Colorado, and the dog was in doggie paradise.
We roamed around the fields and he sniffed EVERYTHING his nose could find to sniff. He romped and bounced and just had a marvelous time! It was so joyous that it made you think, he's been waiting in the house for days and days to do something like this... it was just delightful to watch him. After he got his fill of sniffing and such, he laid down in the grass, where I was able to do a photoshoot of him. I got some really awesome shots of our grandpuppy. (Chas told me he wasn't jealous since he's always getting his photo taken.)
So what you see here is one happy canine... watching the sunset from the front lawn of his family's vineyard. Contentment!

Awww, so cute! If he had half as much fun as Roxy does on the farm, then I'm SURE he was in doggy bliss!

What a great post. What a gorgeous dog. The sunflower is so inviting and reminds me of summer which is fading away...

I'll bet that dog had fun! I'm sure Jasmine would have loved it, too! The sunflower is pretty. We planted a variety of sunflowers, so it's fun having different sunflowers to look at!

We love our doggie. Leon says, "that's the kind of picture you'll want to always remember him by" ... morbid, but true!
