A backyard patio setting includes a gas grill, a griddle, a propane tank, a metal chair, and a white fence.

I am a sad dad now that a sudden thunderstorm has come through preventing all of my yard tasks.

Just help yourself sir…!

I think I have all of my organizing done for the birthday feast.

Ah the fireworks have already started….at 9am…. 😒

Here comes the granny.

A fluffy black and white dog with a blue kerchief around its head is sitting on a wooden floor, looking up joyfully.

Feels damn good to make a to-do list for the day and get them all crossed off!
