Since I am always honest, I need to vent about toenail grinding. Seriously, have you ever met a dog who has told a lie?! Well, perhaps 🤔 since I never need to lie, I assume other dogs don’t lie as well. Anyhow, in the past, my toenails were groomed while I was on a grooming table. Then, we moved to the floor while I sit in Nancy’s lap for my toenail grinding.  Just get this done quickly already!
This morning, I awoke to the sounds of noisy chimes and trees swaying to the music.  My thoughts  lingered back into my previous dreamy state.  But, I am like Nancy in that I don’t care for the sounds of those chimes.  Sometimes, I don’t always get what I want!  I am too short to go out and remove those annoying chimes.  Please, pretty please, someone take down those chimes.  There,  since I can’t carry a chair, Nancy volunteered to take down those chimes for both os us.
Finally, peace and quiet and only the swaying of the winds to lull me back to sleep. Â Until, Greg realized we took the chimes down and he “chimed in” on his desire to have the chimes back. Â Whoa, and he doesn’t have strong opinions about many things around here, except those chimes. Â Gosh golly, you would have thought that we took away his orange juice and cereal routine! Â We will see how long it takes him to actually go out on the deck and hang those annoying chimes back up?! Â For now, I can finish writing my blog in complete tranquility.
Here are some photos of our playtime yesterday. Â I know, another random blog.

Isn’t human perception interesting? Some of us love chimes, while others of us find them annoying. Why, I wonder? When I go into work, I often hear the chimes on campus as I’m walking in and I just love how nature can create music (with some help from humans who created the chimes). It’s a lovely way to brighten my day, particularly when I don’t feel bright, but I’ve heard chimes that I really dislike – the ones with a tin-like sound (I’m not sure how to describe it properly). Absolutely not. As with many things in life, I can’t unilaterally dislike all chimes. Enough on that…. Thanks for sharing the pictures- they show the pure joy of loving the beautiful Minnesota summer!
Very nice picture of a very nice dog! Keep up the good work. As to the chimes . . . I try not to disagree with you, Harmony, however I LOVE those chimes. I have many of them and have had many in the past. They all have a story to go with them but I won’t bore you with that – plus it would take a whole page to document it all. I just happen to love the sounds and the ones I have now have the deeper (although LOUDER) tones. To me they are a reassuring sound that there is some air moving around and that things are alive. A very still day without a breeze makes me nervous – a little wind/breeze lets me know there is still a dynamic thing happening. Sorry to disagree with you – I know a lot of people find them annoying. I just don’t happen to be one of them. Have a great 4th of July celebrating our country. Whatever your beliefs are – we are all lucky to be here I think.
