Not a dog in sight

The day started off with a two hour oil change and the news that it's getting to the point where I need to consider new brakes AND new tires AND a transmission flush. (No wonder I'm poor). 
Then it was out and about in some very heavy rain which got rid of  whatever snow had survived yesterdays' downpour. 
The old joke about dogs and fire hydrants, or in this case the lack of dogs, made me take this shot. 
And for some reason, I quite liked the design of the house. 

Ah well.
