Ann’s Weblog

I say that to myself almost every morning; life is busy. But in the context of this blog, I’m not sure how to get back at it.

This morning while waiting for a customer to arrive with her little dog to be groomed, I did a “lap” around the house with the camera. When I plugged the camera in, I discovered pictures that I had taken quite some time ago. I can at least share a few photos with you before I get started with the pet grooming, because after that point, it’s one after the other, again.

For boarding this weekend, we had Shelby, Blue, Sally, Cowboy, Maverick, Raina, Katie, Zena, Molly, Pritchard, Belle, Flash and China. Most are still with us, staying for longer than a couple of days. Last weekend, which was a long weekend for some because of Canada Day, we had 17 boarders. It’s busy and fun around here; most dogs are happy to be with us.

I groomed Leizel a couple of weeks ago. she is pictured among the flower pots I have at our door:

Here are just a few of the perennial plants I have in the garden:

These are Asiatic Lily ‘Orange Pixie’, a geranium from friend Sarah, and geranium ‘Splish Splash’.

Pictured above are Clematis ‘Jackmanii rubra’, Trollius ‘Orange Princess’, and then a plant which I purchased as a perennial which was not otherwise labelled. I would love for someone to tell me what it is (the tallest one in the photo… Sweet William and Lily I already know.)
The other pictures that I’ve adjusted for Internet are:

That’s McKenna, awakened from her snooze, and one of Nick’s mares with her foal. Click on any photo to get a better and larger view.

Now I have to run away to groom Mickey, a poodle cross, and if I can get back here to visit with you today, I will do so. I have more pictures to “fix” in Photoshop… another motley assortment.

Love, Ann
