Sunday morning

Sunday morning breakfast for me and my sidekick........fresh mango salad.

What the heck is this?

First times are always somewhat of a curious experience.  My other dogs LOOOOVED mangoes.  My eldest Shaggy would actually lie under the tree, and pull a low hanging mango off with his front paws, and sit eating and munching contentedly until it was all gone, and his face and mouth were both juice-stained requiring a good wipe.
Mr. Brownie on the other hand had never tasted this forbidden fruit, so it was fun to watch him smell it,and then cock his head in every which way, then give me an incredulous look, and then lick it cautiously, and then ultimately deciding that I would never give him anything that was not good for him, then to take a  morsel in his mouth, and give the unpalatable mouth movement, and then taste it and LIKE it and eat it all down. So much for "What on earth is this?"

After breakfast, a walk in the garden to welcome in the day surrounded by nature.

Beautiful sunny day...lots of clouds in the sky...nice breeze...but then a long-lost scent....the smell of rain...yipee!!!
 

Palms glistening in the raindrops

 Rain everywhere.......but alas not enough.
After the brief shower, a cloudy rainbow.....

A promise to remember

I want to go outside and play

I'm hoping there will be more rain on the horizon, just enough to cool the temps down and water my plants for today.
Update
One hour later, the skies opened up, and a deluge came pouring down, accompanied by thunder. 
It poured and poured. 
Reminds me of that saying..."Be careful what you wish for".
