As promised, outside time last night. AH took me out, so I had to be on my best behavior. Got some fresh grass - because of the rain - and did a bit of ’sploring.
Pictures, you ask? Why, of course.

This is an area under the dinner deck. It’s kinda out of the way and AH uses it to store some things. Like our old skylights. Not sure why they’re still there after all these years, but a quick sniff reveals nothing new.

The front area of the yard. Notice the lean physique, the shiny coat, the ready tail. Admit it. You can’t take your eyes off me. Yet, you must. No. Really. Let’s move on.
You’ve seen this area before, but I wanted to provide you an action shot. OK. A near action shot. I’m gettin’ ready to make the leap onto the ties. And of course, followed by chinrub.

OK. If you can’t tell by my obvious body language, this is Danger Zone - or close to it. It’s at the top of the driveway and everything leans to one side because of the Earth’s gravitational pull. OK. Not really. I’m on a hill and everything else is flat.
I wanted to go a bit further - out into the cul-de-sac - by a nagging voice inside my head suggested I shouldn’t. That’s it. A nagging voice inside my head. Had nothing to do with the external voice threatening me eternal damnation if I stepped another foot in the wrong direction.

Lastly, this isn’t just the Danger Zone, but a peek into the Forbidden Zone. About all those times I”ve talked about wandering over into the neighbor yard? This is it. The Path to Trouble.
Now, honestly. You can see how easy it would be, right? I mean, it’s Right. There. There’s no fence. Just a bit of brush, and then a clearing. And see that umbrella above those steps? I’ve been beyond that. Once. Bigus Troublis on that trip.
Anyway. We came in shortly after this shot because it was getting dark and the only thing I could’ve done beyond this would be to get into trouble. And besides … you can see I get around pretty good, so why push it.
Hey. It’s Friday! Whoo! Hoo!! Have a great weeked - and it’s a long weekend, at that - and I’ll see you Tuesday.
