Ready for a snooze but not quite committed to it.

The little dude hung out in the yard for a good chunk of the afternoon, first with Shelly as she did office work outside, then with me as I continued garden construction projects.

Nico had a wonderful evening out on the lake.

We spent the evening at a work event with dogs, kids, and a goat.
