Just as the time changed to daylight savings this week, the weather turned much warmer around here. My daughter sent me a text message with a photo attached, telling me that she and her dog had been enjoying a nap in the sunshine in her backyard.

I haven’t yet put the lounge chairs and other outdoor furniture in their usual arrangement on the deck; but, after seeing that message, I’m looking forward to a little time quietly resting in the sun, too. Nothing wrong with having the comfortable life of a lazy dog, every once in a while.
