Over the past weekend, we finally had the perfect weather to get out and enjoy the outdoors. I cannot blame only the weather for putting on hold golf and other fun hobbies during the last school term, though. With a combination of teaching a new course and the usual flow of research projects, I was struggling to keep up. So getting out to the driving range literally felt like a breath of fresh air.
Bruno, the Lagotto puppy, could not join us on the range, but he enjoyed hiking in the hills overlooking the golf course, with my wife and I taking turns to keep him company. After all this walking, Bruno still had enough energy to run a few sprints with my daughter in our backyard. Eventually, he did get sufficiently tired to give her a few quiet moments to do some plein air drawing.
