Sundays can be many things to many people whether it is procrastination cleanup, bonus vacation day, special projects or straight up sloth time. So here is my #SublimeSunday (inspired by c0ff33a@c0ff33a) and #BeautifulSunday (initiated by ace108@ace108) post to share how my week ended.

This week, I am enjoying the hell out of as little as possible!

Hibernation

This morning, I did an admirable job of hibernating and letting the AM pass me by. I might have actually slept the whole morning away if it were not a call from family to get them to where they need to be. Poking my head out the door, doesn't look too bad. Cool enough for the overnight snow to have remained, warm enough that it was melting off the driveway. No shoveling and a good sign for the energy preservation of the day.

Activity Seekers

It seemed that not everyone was looking to languish the Sunday away and their plans included me. One of them being sir fuzzyface. How could you not want to go out and have fun at dog wars?

He was not apparently not the only one with that idea as there was plenty of company in the park. With the early pre5:00pm sunset and the muddiness of the park over the last few weeks, the population has been sparse and we are often the only ones there.

Another picture from this exact location and I wonder if I have enough snow pics to found out the 4 seasons animated gif I am working on. Tonight I will take a look at all of the ones I have amassed over the last 12 months.

Birdhouse tree stands tall and defiant to the west wind which has deposited a little snow from the night before. Makes me think back to the summer when he had a full head of hair. Lemme see...

There we go. We are a long winter and bit of spring before we will see that foliage again.

I am not sure anyone lives in this house in the park but it might be a hoarder of a chipmunk if anything. I like to strike off the path to see if there is any stirring occasionally but there never is. Should I clean it out a little so that some new tenants might want to move in or just leave it alone?

I almost pulled the camera out quickly enough to capture the dog running the full length of his stream. doesn't matter how cold it is. Always time for a swim for him.

DOGWARS!

Enough of that hunting. Time to get out and wrestle with some dogs. There were 4 others that were game to chase each other around and get a little sparring in. As good exercise as the running is, I am sure the wrestling is tice as good and tires him out so he sleeps well at night. Skipping a day at the park usually makes for a pain in the ass that wants to go out in the yard 100 times per evening.

I think we are about 38 days from when the sun sets at 7:00 at night but we are still close to a 5:00 sunset and that arrives quickly. We are the last ones left at the park as the sun goes down. Soon this will be even more white as the snow accumulates and the temperatures drop. I have a fantastic winter coat and new insulated pants so I will be out here almost no matter what the weather.

Something special about the experience when you enjoy the outdoors with your pet. Probably not near as much as this guy enjoys his park but much better than on the couch.

Now if only I could figure out what breed of dog, animal or extra terrestrial makes this track...

The sun has set on another Sunday and I can hopefully claim a slow and uneventful day of rest and dog walking can be turned into astounding content shared across the globe in less than 3 seconds. Cheers my friends.

Thanks for sharing my Sublime, Beautiful Sunday
