Poor Gracie girl had a bug this week and woke us up every hour on Wednesday night to go outside. I am happy to report that she is now on the mend, and lucky for my husband, everything is solid again.

I rarely shoot in the morning but since I had to go outside and make sure Gracie was 100% better, I decided to bring my camera along. That actually sounds pretty wrong … I didn’t take THOSE kind of pictures. I was happy to see the sun rising and decided to do some shots of Gracie. She was patrolling for cats and squirrels, of course.

An itch!

Late July + Early August are Gracie’s favorite months because her favorite game is “annoy the bees in the lavendar.” The bees are safe as long as they are on a stem but as soon as they decide to venture off they are fair game. Here you can see both the wrinkles (my fave) and her famous flying lips.

She goes back and forth between the two bushes.

Here is a shot from her time with the bees last year.

Then she got all freaky on me and spotted something in between the 2 cushions. She wouldn’t stop with the nose so I just kept shooting.

She makes me laugh daily.
