After three months of almost continuous sunshine a day of heavy autumn downpours. The sky blanketed in grey from dawn to dusk.Whenever the rain eased up Wilf and yours truly would head off down the lane past culverts overflowing with water. I might have been happier staying indoors in the dry but Wilf was in seventh heaven savouring the fresh scents that the heavy rain had restored. Completely immersed in his exploration of trees and fence posts he was oblivious to time,cloud bursts or growling thunder.Forty minutes of post-dinner quality time - mano a mano. Touch rugby, hide the meerkat and finally rug surfing before he fell sound asleep damp and happy. Somewhere along the line Wilf has learnt that simple lesson - what we love to do we find time to do.
Wilf is a very wise dog.
ReplyDeleteOh, the rain bestows such wondrous smells.
ReplyDeleteBravo Wilf, well said. Love the first photo of you this morning. Looks like you may have applied a little hair "mousse" to achieve that look. How very retro disco - and stunning.

Wilf has once again given a good lesson for life--I am convinced that he and others like him have unraveled the mysteries and smells of the universe! :-)
ReplyDeleteSuch true words! I love his little mussed up hairdo today, too! I also love that he's able to do those things he loves. That was my smile for the morning!
ReplyDeleteSuch restful imagery of the overcast day, showers here and gone, Wilf on a mission - using every minute to maximize his and your day. Makes me long for a three season porch with a tin roof and a very comfortable divan.
ReplyDeleteDid I see a bit of your old farmhouse in the background? We would love to see more.
ReplyDeleteAnd it's even better when we're doing it with someone we love!
ReplyDeleteAll wonderful pictures! We just love your house, Wilf - but we know you must have enjoyed the rain and scents it brought so much! Have a good weekend!
ReplyDeleteHugs xoxoxo

I think that you've learnt that same lesson - making time to play with your Wilf. It's a lesson that dogs are very good at teaching us.
ReplyDeleteWilf always shares the best little bits of wisdom. I could learn a lot from him!
ReplyDeleteWe are glad you are making time to do what you love! We agree with Hounstooth, your hair is extra cute today Wilf :)
ReplyDeleteWilf such a smart chappie! So right..what we love to do we find time to do.
ReplyDeleteThe photos of Wilf are brilliant.
