Ann’s Weblog

A search engine just for weblogs suggests I post this link to my blog. I’m not sure where it is REALLY supposed to reside, but I HAVE, at least, put it here.

Will be back later with something more interesting about the day. Am going for “brunch” with my friend Barb, and that is always fascinating.

The weather today is BEAUTIFUL and spring-like. Most of the boarding dogs have gone home, and after brunch, I will get into the cases of perennials that arrived yesterday! Yippee!

I think I mentioned “Luka” as the Jack Russell terrier which we are boarding. ACTUALLY, Luka went home, but we are babysitting Luka’s brother “Buddy” ! Silly me. Above is a picture of Buddy, who is a darling little house dog like his sister, and never any trouble. He seemed slightly less bashful of the camera this afternoon.

The other picture is of “Beau”, a medium-large, very handsome mixed breed male dog. He was no trouble at all, also: enjoyed most of his time outdoors just surveying the land, watching the horses. Every time I checked on him, he greeted me like his long lost friend (but you should have seen his joy when he saw his owners!). Considering the selection of pets that we were privileged to board in the past two weeks, it is little wonder I’ve stayed in business almost 21 years.

Please check my website, including the Pet Pictures page, for more, uh… pet pictures. I’m always delighted if visitors sign my Guestbook, too.

Stay well everyone.

Hurray, hurray! My perennial roots, bulbs, and packaged products came today!! The odd thing was that I was helping unload 14 cases of plants IN THE COLD WET FALLING SNOW. At least there was no wind to speak of today. Gosh, with the weather, anything can happen, and does.

I had such a busy day grooming and then napping on the couch, that I haven’t opened the boxes yet, but perhaps I’ll get into it tomorrow. The sooner that I can plant the bare roots in pots and expose them to light, the better they’ll look for my plant sale in May. I’m very excited, as you can probably tell, but once I get started planting, it will be a long job.

Just as they are saying on the news about obesity being a national epidemic, the timer on the oven goes off: the cream puffs are baked! Well, everything in moderation, eh? Gary has a simple supper of chili waiting for him, so I’m sure he’ll be able to leave room for desert.

Perhaps I’ll get back here tonight with pictures of a dear dog who went home today: Beau. I did manage to take the photos and he certainly seems photogenic! I also took pictures of Luka, a Jack Russell terrier, who in the past would hang his head in a fright every time I brought the camera out.

Time to serve up the fancy dinner.
