Life from where we are

 I am finally catching up with the yard work.  I'm happy to report the pile of mulch is gone!!!!  And no I did not meet the goal of being done by July 4th.....missed it by a mere 20 days  So sue me!  I love this dragon begonia & so do the hummingbirds.....still working on getting a pic of them  One of my projects was to paint this table & chairs....love the way it came out.  You gotta love spray paint  I am sad to report that cousin Felicity has met with an accident & will be in rehab for a couple weeks,  A freaking squirrel pushed her off the tree!  At least I'm assuming that's what happened.....I would hate to think that she had been imbibing in a little too much elderberry wine.  Freda's not talking!  Love astilbe....they really put on a show this year.  This guy was a gift????  I'm not talking either! Love

This past winter & the summer we're having apparently is perfect for the hostas This one is triple the size of last year This is one of the oldest ones I have ......I love the leaves! Love

 One of the reasons we liked the groomer we take Molly to is that she only keeps her there for about 3 hours.  She doesn't have her assistant anymore so told Popster we would need to leave her there all day!  Well that wasn't happening so we were looking for a new place to go.  Popster heard about a new girl just starting out right up the street so he checked the place out.  She said she could groom Molly in approx 2-1/2 hours so he made an appointment.   This is what I came home to.......a "poodle" hairdo complete with bows!  You are kidding me!!!  As you can tell by the "tude" Molly thought the same thing I asked what he thought to the groomer & he's telling how she shampooed her twice, the second time with some special shampoo for black dogs, & special conditioner....I knew we were leading up to something.  I asked a couple times "how much did she charge?" .. ...keep in mind our other groomer charged $65.00.  Finally he ans

 They opened a new dog park in our town  When Jessie is off on Tues she takes Molly there  There are all kinds of toys & balls hanging around  Jess is more than willing to keep throwing a ball for the dogs  This, however, is what happens......"Molly's rules".....she keeps the ball!  Try again.....  .....off she goes  ......keeps the ball!  She's such a brat!!  Look how cute this guy is  Don't forget me!
