Fire Pits and Phoebe

It's podcast Tuesday, and we have tons of stories for you! This podcasts was a fun one to make...we hope you enjoy it!

Listen here!

We had a really fun weekend...one that fed our souls as much as anything else, I think!

Ryan worked on Saturday, but he was done by noon and got to work around the house all afternoon. He was SO HAPPY!!!!

Phoebe came over to hang out with us for the afternoon and evening, and bless her heart, she still has some PTSD from fireworks. Her people report that when she was younger (she's all of three now) she LOVED them, and they don't know what happened, but she's grown to hate them. In fact, she's wary of the outside in general right now, and we got to experience that firsthand on Saturday! Poor girlie!

We took her for a walk, which we've done a million times, and she OWNS that neighborhood. It is hers. But this time she was all over the place, not paying attention, you name it. Ryan even had to pick her up and carry her for a while. That was a first. (And she's still carrying a little winter weight, so it's kind of a workout!) So we cut the walk in about 1/4 and took her home early.

All she wanted was the couch.

We didn't get to use our fire pit a single time last season, and we hadn't used it yet this year either. (This year it went straight from snowing to sauna, so there wasn't a good middle ground of time to use it!)

Ryan said he thought it would be just about perfect fire pit weather Saturday night, so we got some turkey dogs and veggies and had a little cookout. (We did have s'mores. I mean you gotta live a little!)

We brought Phoebe out and lined up her food and water, and thought she would love a picnic, but she went straight to the door. Normally she always picks being with people over being alone, but not right now, I guess. So we let her go back inside to hang out and we enjoyed our little cookout for two!

It really was a wonderful night. So happy to be home and enjoying a little fire pit date. Let's have more of THOSE!!
