We had hard rain on and off this afternoon.
When Jake and I went on our early morning walk, we encountered a pack of three coyotes. We were walking on the lower bank, and the coyotes ran up on top of the levee and watched as we walked by.
As you may know, Jake loves to lift his leg on tumbleweeds. Currently, the tumbleweeds are green and soft; however, Jake discovered cockleburs on the lower bank. While the cockleburs are also still green, they are nice and scratchy.

A short reprieve from the rain.
The clouds were gathering again when I left for the store to get cheese for the cats. It started raining hard again. I sat in the car and did Duolingo until the rain let up enough to where I wouldn’t get soaked walking into the store.
My rain gauge recorded 4/10 of an inch of rain this afternoon, bringing us up to nearly an inch of rain for the month of June.
Off Center & Not Even 
I miss seeing and hearing coyotes. Jake looks happy to ride in the car!
I would too. Thanks, Brad.
Me too!
Jake really does look cool in the car! Thank gobs he’s a big dog, otherwise those coyotes might have been closer! Ya never can tell with them!
The coyotes don’t seem to bother little dogs if a person is with them. The only times they get aggressive is when someone gets close to a den when they have pups. Thanks, Leeda.
A few have gotten more aggressive here. It’s not common, but enough for people to stay aware of their surroundings, despite dense population/homes.
“Furry” fellows in the grass.
Thanks, Cindy.
Ajake a the wheel of he car looks epic…
Ha ha. It is. Thanks, Shey.
‘The name’s Bond. Jake Bond.’
Hahahaha! You are clever. Thanks, Shey.
And you are too kind….
always interested in James Bond cos Ian Fleming’s faher was originally a Dundee mill worker who jsut happened to have a head for maths .
That’s a cool dog in a cool car. I wonder if the driver was also a cool dude…
The driver is a lowly papqarazzo. Thanks, Herman.
Cool dog in the car scared the coyotes away!
Thanks, Nancy.
Great to see Wile E and Jake looks like a diva in the car!
Good to hear about rain – also gives the painter a more dramatic palette.
I find cockleburs everywhere, even in the house!
We no have a full inch of rain for the month. Not bad. Thanks, Marina.
Jake in the car is the coolest of the cool!
He’s like cool hand Luke. Thanks, Liz.
Yes! You’re welcome, Tim.
Beautiful photos!! The rain clouds are amazing, and I especially love the photos of the coyotes (especially the one where he is peeking over the top of the hill!) Jake is the coolest dog I’ve ever seen! 😎
He is a cool cat for a dog. Thanks, Samantha.
How long has Jake been driving?
Several months. Thanks, Geoff.
That’s a little scary about the coyotes. Admittedly I would have felt the same way about 3 stray dogs… But I got a kick out of the pics of Jake sitting in the car.
Down here we had a few good rains this week. It was nice. I’m behind here again, but will get caught up. Hugs.
Nice you got a bit of rain, also. Thanks, Teagan.
Beautiful flowers and ominous skies, Tim!
Those are great photos of Jake. He looks like he was born to drive that little red car. “And he’ll have fun fun fun fun ’til Timmy takes the red car away…”
LOL. I was thinking of Little Red Corvette, Lavinia. But your tune is more appropriate. 😀
Lavinia’s tune is perfect for the Jakester in my little red car.
Thanks, Teagan! Jake would make a great video subject too, zooming around in that little red car. 🙂
Perfect song. Thanks, Lavinia.
Send some rain our way! Arizona is experiencing a severe drought.
It has come from your direction, surprisingly enough. Thanks, Dawn.
Is 4/10 ” of rain a lot for Jun?. It looks fab down there.
Oh my, Jake cuts a sharp figure in the car. If this pic was taken in the UK, he’d be driving.
He has really turned into a car dog.
Jake loves riding in the car. 4/10 is a decent amount of rain these days. Thanks, Resa.
He looks so cool!
Thanks, Julie.
