"Lion" Weekend

I tried to quit caffeine this weekend. Well, truthfully I was invaded by sugar ants, and they took over my coffee machine. And everything else. It was disturbing, they were everywhere. I keep my kitchen fairly clean but they came in a steady line anyway and multiplied, soldiering on into every nook and cranny. They even turned up in my master bath? Sorry, no food there guys. My coffee machine needed cleaning I guess. I got Terro. It's the shit. I enjoyed watching the ants clamor over each other to drink the Terro. I couldn't peel myself away. They LOVED it! They came in droves! It was fascinating. By morning they were all gone. Every single ant. And so was my pounding headache, I'll have to try to wean myself slowly next time. Coffee is so lovely. 


The downside of not drinking coffee was that I could hardly wake up. On safari we called this a "lion" (lie in - get it?) The dogs and I slept until noon every day, then they slept some more while I watched movies. Of the movies I saw, Salt B+, Secretariat C, Social Network B, Percy Jackson B-. 


The dogs sleeping:





Kate's not really sleeping, she trying to communicate how desperately important daily work is for her psyche. 




I took them swimming a few times, they all had a blast. Fergie even got to do some agility with me this weekend. 



On the way home from Independence Day celebration of lots of food I saw a double rainbow. The lower one looked to have extra rings to it. Interesting though hard to see on these photos that I definitely did NOT take while driving. ;) 

Gary and Bayer had a good time in New York. They won the Classic Plastic division of the Skyhoundz Extreme Distance Qualifier on Saturday, but unfortunately Bayer burned a pad sometime during the day so he didn't get to play in the AWI Qualifier on Sunday (it was pouring down rain too, not great conditions for a ripped pad). So hopefully they qualify at Purina in a few weeks. Bayer's making his Quad comeback there as well! :)
