Weather folks keep predicting rain so I hold off on watering and then it doesn't happen! Looks very treatening out there this morning. If it is going to happen now I want it to hold off for an hour or two cause I have 4 dogs to walk - two and two!

Got a paniced phone call early yesterday from one of our adopters - she has my foster Tango from last winter - going on vacation today and something got mixed up with lady who usually takes dogs, no contact, doesnt want to take to kennel she never checked , would I , could I take dogs? A few moments thought - Tango and I know each other, King ( 7 yrs) doesnt know me but is rather shy and easy care, an extra $300.00 this month- and I said yes so they arrived last evening. All well to this point, King keeps standing and gazing out the gate looking for his folks but he will settle in in a day or so. They are gone 10 days!

Ive been busy in the garden, things cooled off a bit here which I like. Still digging out stuff from the front beds as part of the renovation. Once I get everything removed that I want I can then shift a few things to new position and be ready to put in peonies coming in Sept and add whatever new plants needed next spring. All this in aid of simplifying the upper beds in the front- too much stuff there, trying to cut back to maybe 4-5 main species, anchored with peonies. It is hard to remove old favorites but I am trying and mostly they are going to 'good homes'!

Here's my visitors - Tango and King.
