Evening with my friend's briards

Over in the pine tree a squirrel or two is chattering.  The day has been warm, finally.  I am sitting in the backyard with Tosca and Cini.  The sun is shining through the leaves of the neighbor's quaking aspen.  Fluffs of dandelion float aimlessly on a light breeze.  Pink pom-poms of almond blossoms glow in the evening light.  A lovely evening.

My friend Nona and her briards

My friend Nona does excellent training in agility with her briards.

When she travels and is unable to take the briards, I dog sit with them.  We have been enjoying the holidays together.
