Life of Boomer

Amber, Zia and her mom went to Portland this week.  So for 5 days it was just me and Lincoln inside because it was too hot to go outside.  Not much happened around here really.

So, we'll begin this blog with a Boomer photolog.   Really you can break the subjects of blogs down pretty quickly.  If you're not blogging about your kids, you're blogging about your pets.  If you're not blogging about your pets, you're blogging about your hobbies.  If you're not blogging about your hobbies, you're probably blogging about a lot of crap no one cares about. Anyway, this week Boomer did some sleeping.  In a variety of positions.

Sometimes he falls out of his box while he's sleeping.

Sometimes he loses his dignity while sleeping.

Actually, he loses his dignity every time he sleeps.

Every once in awhile he'll wake up long enough to kill something.  This time he killed a small rabbit.  He was happily dragging it between his legs like a lion to his lair (the flower bed) when we found him.

The rabbit was promptly dissected in the name of science.  The rabbit ate clover very previous to his death, by the way.

While Zia and Amber were gone Lincoln played in his pool a lot.

And Batman came to visit at least once.

And, uh, we saw this snake in the firepit.  I think it was some kind of garter snake but I don't know.

OK, enough boring stuff.  Zia and Amber had fun in Portland and Zia took 150 pictures.  Mostly of flowers she saw.  Here are some of my favorite pictures off her camera.

Back at home, here's Zia's rodeo outfit.  We managed to avoid all rodeo activity this year but Zia did get to wear her get-up to see Rodney Atkins in concert.  I know, I didn't know who he was either.  Heh.

While Zia and Amber were gone I finished a small painting.  I did it fast and eliminated a lot of the detail work I usually do.  Instead I just did flat washes.  Most people probably couldn't tell the difference I suppose.  It kills me to do it that way but it's the difference between 10 hours and 40 hours.
