Love It!

I can't get enough of this weather!  I Love it!  Today was finally a nice day!  The sun was out, the wind was gone, and it was mid 60's!  Tomorrow is suppose to be the same for most of the day, however, it's suppose to snow later Friday night/early Saturday morning.  WHAT?! SNOW?!  UGH!!

So with that forecast, my husband and I packed up the dogs and headed out to the park.  He was able to do some fishing while the dogs and I went for a walk.  This park has a nice 1/2 mile walking trail around the pond.  I normally don't like park trails due to all the shadyness and rapes/murders that happen at lakes/parks around here, however my husband was able to keep his eyes on us at all times. 

The dogs loved it.  They got to experience so many new sights and scents and sounds.  Ducks, Geese, lots of children, a few other dogs and MUD!  They loved the wet soggy ground and the mud.  Jack was covered in mud up to his elbows.  I wish I would have brought my camera to enjoy a few snapshots of the little boogers!  Fred is so good at walking on a leash.  He stays within distance and if he gets to far ahead, he stops and waits for mom to catch up.  Jack, on the other hand, is a handfull.  Not only do I get some cardio in, I get some strength training!  He is a little bully and out of control!  As promised, about two hours later we stopped and got them their free puppy cone from Twisters and they sacked out for the rest of the afternoon.

Danny didn't catch any fish, so I'm off to figure out something for dinner.  Hope everyone had a good day too!

A Trip to the Winery and Cider Mill

Part of my 101 list was to have a date with my husband once a month, and to visit a winery. 

I decided to check out a local winery called Somerset Ridge Winery.  I've lived in Kansas all of my life, and I've just recently learned of this winery.  The best part is that it is only 20 minutes away. This would be my husbands first time at a winery.  I've had the chance to experience some of the fabulous wineries in Napa Valley, CA.  Somerset Ridge is a small down to earth winery located a few miles south of Louisburg, KS, the perfect environment for my redneck husband.  After some wine tasting and a few pictures, we settled on the Buffalo Blush and the Ambrosia.  Ambrosia has got to be the best sweet wine I have tasted in a long time! 

While we were down in Louisburg, I also took my husband to Louisburg Cider Mill.  (He is from Oklahoma and hasn't experienced the cider mill either!) They have the best cider and cider donuts ever!  We couldn't have asked for better weather either.  God decided to make the rain and snow stop and let the Sun come out and play.  I had such a wondereful time experiencing a few first with my husband.
