Stuff Happens

Hi there,  It's five in the morning as I write

this, so... Good Morning!

Saturday we went to the dump.

It's not my favorite thing to do, but

we did bring back a yard of compost

for the gardens around the front deck.

So that was good.

I usually try to avoid going to the dump.

Gee, I wonder why. (laughing)

Rick knows this...

So on our way he asks

"Are you alright?"

Me: "I'm going to the dump."

Him: "Then you're ecstatic!"

Um, OK.

We also stopped at the vets

for Liberty's checkup and shots.

Guess what she weighs.

66.6

Rick started laughing when 

he saw the numbers.

It's a sign.

Liberty: 

 "What?  Play Ball!  Squirrel!"

Remember this:

Liberty 'accidentally' knocked it over,

shattering the red glass.

She also chewed up that plastic lizard

which was actually a water emitter for the 

irrigation system.  It added water to the 

bird bath when the porch garden 

got watered.  Ah well.  

This happened quite awhile ago,

and actually Liberty is getting less destructive.

The worst thing she does now

is jump up on visitors... 

which has been very difficult to handle.

We're probably going back for more training.

She really is turning into a good dog,

but there have been trying times.

Rick's dad, gave us this bowl

several years ago,

and it fits perfectly into the bird bath frame.

The bird bath has been moved

into a fenced off garden where it's 

safe from Liberty... I hope.

Yesterday, I was fertilizing the potted

plants and some of the garden with fish emulsion.

It's nasty smelly stuff, but the plants love it.

I accidentally doused myself with it,

face and all.  Oh my.

Then later,

my new iron started smoking.

Now that's just wrong...

Today's got to be better.

I'm heading downstairs for coffee.

Talk to you soon.
