Wednesday morning riverside plus 27 Celsius

 Wow 🤩 green August, I’ve never seen such a green mid August 

The coulee look very green this year, more rain than anticipated yet I’m loving 🥰 the weather.

The dog 🐕 and I sit in the river tossing a ball 🏀 to the shoreline.  We had lots of fun three other dogs join us I never asked there names.

They stated they interrupt my silence 🤫 I was enjoying the moment also with or without more dogs 🐕 we had a great time.

One of there dogs played with Dixie ball and I had to go rescue the ball.⚽️ 

The dog and I went alone the morning got hot 🥵 early.  Plus 27 Celsius by the time we got home 🏡 

I decide to take Dixie out of the house a bit. Before work. She is enjoying herself in the water now we’re out front drying off.

I take a photo by our regular spot to see the river, where it is, it looks fuller than usual.  Just a metre off shore.

Usually it’s 2-3 metre by this time of year.

My folks come back from Canmore they say it’s way busier than they remember and they went on the weekend. I wish Kim and I would do hikes like this to falls or mountain tops.

I would really enjoy it.

Dixie is doing good even with my down time with how hot it has been this end of summer.

9% below average to similar breeds but I’ve sort of figured it be low on how much these last three weeks have been stationary.

67 active minutes so far by 11 am.

The dog s sitting in the ☀️ after the river while I blog the first time for a month. Just haven’t been able to.

It sounds like you're having a wonderful summer filled with nature, relaxing moments, and quality time with Dixie. The unusually lush greenery and the fuller river are beautiful signs of the season's vibrant weather. It's great to hear Dixie is enjoying the water, especially with the hot temperatures, and that you've been able to take some time to relax and reconnect with your environment. 

Your reflections about hikes and mountain trips sound lovely—those adventures are always memorable. It's also nice that your parents are enjoying their return from Canmore and experiencing the busy, scenic area.
