the most obedient kind

julyhouse-037.jpgWhile the husband’s away, the wife will play.  Out for a lovely dinner with a girlfriend, WALKED from house to restaurant, ordered a cold glass of rose, some bruschetta and a spinach salad, forgot left over bruschetta on table (I blame rose) and took a lovely walk.  It was the first semi-cooler break in the weather in little more than a week.  The heat was debilitating.  So to be out in flip flops and a summer dress in the cooler evening was a nice break from the ’stand in my underwear in front of a fan and sweat 5lbs off’ routine.  There are some lovely spots on our block.  This being one.  A walk-up entrance to a home from a side street is guarded by a canine statue.  Beck poses for my camera.  Was using the macro lens to shoot flowers so was unable to get her entire self.  But think it was to good effect.  Kind of an artsy conclusion to the evening.
