We're off to eat at Fabulous Fern's  in St. Paul and then on to the Xcel Energy Center for a James Taylor and Carole King concert. I've listened to their Troubadour Reunion cd a couple of times and it will be exciting to see these two legends together live.  I do hope the Xcel is powered up to full air-conditioning capacity as it's 88 degrees outside with a humidity of about 40 percent.  That's hot baby.  Looking forward to a nasty thunderstorm to blow this weather on down the road.

We did take time to enjoy the summer weather a bit this morning at the dog park.  It really was a beautiful start to the day despite the dog days of summer heat.

Wally enjoyed fetching sticks and the coolness of the grass in the shade. 

Lily tried to cool off in the little water dish. 

Tomorrow it's back to work for a couple of days and then time to enjoy another long weekend.
