Friday JohnKu – AKA – TGIF

March 17, 2017 · by John W. Howell · in TGIF · 63 Comments

TGIF Another week has flown by. Well, at least it seems that way. I am sitting on the lower patio writing this post and I have to say the weather is perfect. Beautiful sky and temperature in the 70’s. The pups are having their sun bath and all is right with the world. I decided to post a picture of them relaxing instead of the usual Friday TGIF meme. Speaking of Friday this week’s JohnKu is all about enjoying the time we have been given. I hope you have a great weekend.

Sunny day today,

Nary a cloud in the sky. . .

What is not to love.

Ah, such a sweet photo…and I love the JohnKu – so true, “what is not to love.”

  Bailey (the prone one) is a little more laid back than Lucy. I was lucky to get this shot since in the next instant Lucy was up chasing a blackbird. Thanks, Gwen.

Great photo. We still have snow and might be getting more over the weekend. I’m really looking forward to May at this point.

  Yes I would shoot for May if I were you. Of course, when I was a kid in Detroit my birthday party had to be called off once because of snow. That was May 22nd.

    Yikes. Mine is in April, so I lost one when I went to college in Upstate New York. Maybe we should push for July to be safe.
