Beautiful Weekend
Summer finally arrived in VT this weekend. It was a scorcher, 90 degrees all weekend.
Saturday we cheered on T (J's bro). He did the Harpoon Point to Point 110-mile bike ride.
Sunday we were out on the boat all day, 11 to 7! We had a little floatilla going on and just chilled out with a bunch of friends.
Here are some pics...
Piper's getting brave.

Lawn Update
Well, I couldn't take it anymore. I called the lawnmowing service and hired them back to mow our lawn. I am so happy right now that I don't have to mow the lawn anymore. The thing is, I actually didn't mind mowing the lawn. The front yard was fine, but when you get to the back yard, forget it. Its so thick and dense (which is a good thing), but with our electric lawn mower (which we are returning) the battery dies QUICK!! It was taking me 3 days to mow the lawn...UNACCEPTABLE.
Now, I can sip my coffee and watch the guys mow the lawn.
A good thing.
Next year we are getting a riding lawnmower, and I couldn't be happier (what happened to me)?!?!

Busy Busy Bee
Remember me, I am playing catch up in the blogging world again (Heather, how do you keep up with 2 blogs?!?!?)
I haven't written in about a week and I know there is a lot of stuff to catch everyone up on.
Let's see....
1. I have been dog walking/sitting. My friend Leslie has a dog walking business and she is in China for 2 weeks, so I am covering for her. Have a bunch of adorable dogs to take for walks and then the three cats, which are awesome!
2. This past Saturday we had not one, but TWO weddings. It was a picture perfect day for the couples. Both weddings were held in Stowe. One at Edson Hill Manor and the other at the Trapp Family Lodge (yes, the family from Sound of Music). I will post pictures soon.
3. I have started running again! I am doing another 1/2 marathon with my BFF Lauren. It is in CT in September...need to run a lot...(i hate running in warm weather)
4. BIG NEWS! I have decided to go back to school. I am going to apply to the Baking and Pastry Arts school at NECI (New England Culinary Constitute). It's a 15-week certificate program followed by a 15-week internship. I am super super excited. It's something I have always wanted to do and seeing a s NECI is so close, why not take the opportunity??
Soooo....i think that's about it. I will post some pictures soon. For now, I am going to enjoy the BEAUTIFUL weather we have been having here in VT, finally!

Whats goin' on with Piper
So my mom sent piper some new toys in the mail because she got skunked...spoiled dog!
Here she is with her new Winnie the pooh puppy ropey toy.
Another new thing recently is the chipmunk that likes to taunt Piper. I swear this little bugger sits on our steps just to get Pipes all in a tizzy. Piper barks her little head off, in between her little wines, like she is saying "PLEASE LET ME OUTSIDE, please please please"
Here is a pic of the chippy on the stairs and Piper barking...the floor to ceiling windows are not in our favor in this little situation.

How I love flowers...
I bought these almost 2 weeks ago and they still look beautiful! Usually I buy two of the "cheaper" bouquet's. They are usually on sale for $6.99-$8.99 and then I split them among several vases and place them throughout the house.
