Back again…
So I’ll make this relatively quick; I did upload pictures that pertained to the LAST entry, and I have others on the computer. I’m feeling all agitated about the dry pots outside though… we usually don’t want to water in the heat of the day, but if things are suffering/dying for lack of moisture, it has to be done.
I groomed little “Mickey” this morning, an American Eskimo who was born here. He is a snarky dog who would not hesitate to bite, but I put a soft muzzle on him and then maneuvered him the whole while I clipped, ignoring his growls. At times I laid him on his side gently, not allowing him to spring back up; he soon realized he was handled by a supremo alpha bitch who just needed to get the job done!
We continue to have some beautiful spring days. Pictured below:
Kelly our smallest calico cat, Zev’s Percheron mare and brand new filly, Sensation Allium, Beauty of Moscow (light pink) lilac, Ligularia ‘Othello’, the first cosmos bloom, our cedar planter, a lilac that we call “blue star” for lack of proper label, and Lilac ‘Wedgewood Blue’. Last is our Norland Apple, which my daughters gave me ten years ago (with many of its blossoms blown off already), and some osteopermum in amazing new colours.
Had a very good day beside the fact that I got Mickey groomed. We had some sales in the garden centre and visits from close friends. In my spare time I’ve been trying to dig out perennial beds… and being quite ruthless about it too. Gary has been doing some of the same kind of digging, plus watering the vegetable gardens in addition to his farrier work.
We had a full kennel on the weekend and might have the same this coming weekend. In the meantime, it’s pretty peaceable around here, with many old favourite boarders and a few new doggy friends too.
Talk to you soon! Thanks for reading…
