It has been a grand day, but my energy has waned before I accomplished as much as I wanted to. Therefore, I’m having coffee with you, my friends. Sweet “Shad” just went home, and I told his family the truth, that he is a model guest. He is pictured here in the biggest exercise yard, … Continue reading
I slept in this morning, almost right to 7 am, and stepped in the shower to wake up and jumpstart the day. Gary phoned as I got out, so we had our morning conference, and that is a great start to a day as well. After a relatively busy week at the Pet Hostel, it … Continue reading
Yesterday, Kona got her spa morning. She handles everything with aplomb; the big girl stands stoically for the bath, then lies calmly for drying, brushing, combing,and nails. Kona’s owner came back for her just as I was clipping her nails. He asked the dog, “Why are you so good for Ann, but make me lie … Continue reading
I’ll start the day’s post with Sandra James Photography! Already, I’ve talked to my Gary on the phone; it’s a grand start to the day. We have vacationed separately more than together, mostly because of my persistent reluctance to leave home and job. But I wonder how I ever coped when we didn’t have cell … Continue reading
Is it Thursday? Wow. Have a little dog to groom this morning, Buffy. She’s a “Miki” dog, a hybrid of several precious wee breeds. It’s 9:30 and I’m having a little break before Buffy arrives. Mica and I went to the garden and dug another 3 hills of potatoes: amazing crop this year! I’m still … Continue reading
… We will come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves! 🎼🎶🎵 I’m sure that will amuse you, me silently singing a hymn as I harvest the garden. I find this part of summer exhilarating, especially now that we have “dialed back” production. But I always have the hymn in my head. Yesterday afternoon, I finished picking … Continue reading
Gary had an exceptional start to his day: He also shared a cinnamon bun with our granddaughter Juno already this morning; that made me feel the first real pang of not being at the cottage for a holiday. Maybe next August. So the guy who said, “The earlier the better …” for picking up garlic … Continue reading
It was exhilarating to get the garlic finished and a few more orders weighed out. The scent in the house is interesting and almost heady: Oriental Lily with faint undertone of garlic! Not everyone loves either one of those; I love both. Mica needed a nap after the excitement of Shelly’s visit and the big … Continue reading
I woke early and tried to get back to sleep. The dog wasn’t asking to go out, but eventually I just gave up and got up. I’m really achy, so I took some pain killers, and then did this for pain: Then suddenly the view improved even more. Then I picked a few burgundy beans … Continue reading
Am drinking coffee with you who are awake at 6:45 Pacific Time, though I’m aware it’s mid morning for some of you! I was cleaning garlic in my dreams last night, but awoke anxious to finish as soon as I can. I can now resume weighing out orders and calling folks or delivering product. Our … Continue reading
