Zero to sixty in mere days…
The kennels are full-as-can-be at the moment, although couple of pets will be going home by end of day. We have Makalu, Max, Jose and Tess, Bruno and Meikka, Chester and Beowolf, Miller, Axel, Chico and Allie.
Today I have two little poodle crosses to groom, and they’re matted so it will take extra time, but I’m always “game”!
I checked the perennials in the greenhouse a few minutes ago. These are the roots that were sold to me a few weeks ago; I have planted them in good purchased soil, in pots, and kept the heater going out there. There are some VERY good-looking plants already! Particularly the bleeding hearts have just sprung up and look so leafy and green (and in bud!). That bigger greenhouse which was fabricated for us by our friend Dale is a TREASURE and the best investment ever. Even if I didn’t have a plant “business” it would be wonderful to have.
Over the last few days I have dug up the perennials which were not sold last year. It’s hard to tell what they will do… I pried them out of the icy garden soil, so they are not warm enough yet to show much sign of life. I’m hoping they’ll warm up and dry out a little now that they’re sitting on the surface. Some trees and shrubs which I didn’t get “buried”, but which were protected by drifts of snow, are showing live buds, so I’m hopeful about those also.
I just phoned the wholesaler in Kelowna about my “trees and shrubs” order. The salesperson for this area was entirely gracious when I wanted to add to my order; sometimes I’m told that I have to fax an addition to my order (which is more trouble). I’m travelling with a friend next Thursday to get the items with my truck and our horse trailer. “ROAD TRIP”!! yippee.
I need to keep running now…. some plants need watering and the dogs need clipping. I’ve finished feeding and watering all our animal guests. Will try to check in later.
Love, Ann
