First off, lest I forget, Carol, be sure to stop in on the way out of beautiful Belling- gam . Dinner time here is usually precisely at 'whenever' ,'if', or 'maybe not'. Even have a bed if you want a lay-over on that long trip home. Sorry to hear your Dad is having a downer, I think Meezer has a point with the weather,it's depressing.

Got a shock when the Vet called me about the test results. Just sent in Immy's stool sample since what one gets the other is sure to get too. Seems there is a question of her having some kind if infection, but what set me back most was the possibility of heart-worm. New sample monday should tell for sure. Tinker is from Cashmere, a little town east of the mountains and Immy is from the Boise area. When I asked the Vet about a new flea med he said heart-worm wasn't prevalent around here. Hope its a false alarm. Feeding in seperate rooms is working. Will slowly try to get her into better eating habits.

Picked up a small batch of lumber yesterday to work on one of the unfinished arbors. Measured, dug the hole and set a 10 foot 4X4 post. Measured again and found I was 6 inches off. Too hard to stretch an 8 ft board to 8 1/2 ft so I pulled the post and will try again today. I really hate it when they make these tapes with
' extra numbers'. Measure once-dig twice. Also went to the rock store and found some really neat drilled basalt columns for the fountain. Weather has been dry enough the last day or two to work on the arbor but is supposed to turn to rain again later today. Cut 2 or 3 inches of beard off yesterday and am feeling a draft, but at least it won't soak up so much rainwater now. The weight of the rainwater was pulling me forward and I was feeling very stupid-over.lol Gotta put on socks and shoes and go set a post. Best of everything to everyone.
